About indicators and icons
On your phone, you have two types of identifiers: indicators and icons.
INDICATORS
Indicators show the status of something. The phone uses three types of
indicators:
• Signal strength indicator: Shows the strength of the signal to your
phone.
• Battery power indicator: Shows how
much power is left in your phone’s
battery.
• Volume indicator: Shows the earpiece
volume level. Adjust the volume level
with the earpiece volume buttons on the
left side of the phone (see “Adjust the earpiece volume during a call”
on page 22).
ICONS
Icons are graphical representations of a specific item or situation. For
example, this icon appears when you have a voice message waiting
to be heard. (Some systems use a different method.)
