Important information about
the status and features of the
Wherifone appear in the main
display. There are three types
of displays on the Wherifone:
Icon Display:
The top icons show the vital Wherifone functions.
Scrolling Display:
The middle line is scrolling text that indicates
carrier, locate, and other status information.

Signal Strength
The number of bars in the Signal Strength icon indicates the
strength of the GSM network signal the Wherifone is receiving.
More bars mean a stronger GSM signal. The Wherifone uses the
GSM network for all communication activities: making calls,
receiving calls, receiving pages, receiving location requests, and
sending location reports to the Global Location Service Center.
If the signal strength is low or non-existent, your Wherifone may
not be able to receive a location request, send its location infor-
mation, or make incoming or outgoing phone calls.
