Signal Strength Line Graph: Visually displays the client’s
signal level over time and the highest signal strength
recorded (high watermark).
NOTE: If the client's signal is lost, a red vertical line
appears on the Signal Strength line graph at the time of
connection loss, but the graph continues scrolling. Once
AirCheck G2 comes back within the range of the client’s
signal, a green vertical line appears on the line graph.

Signal Strength: The strength of the signal from the client in
dBm. The display shows “---” if the tester cannot hear the
client.
Sound/Mute Icon: Press this button to turn off the
sound. When sound is on, the icon displays in the screen
header, and AirCheck G2 emits an audible single-tone clicking
sound that increases in frequency as the signal level
increases (i.e., as you are moving closer to the device).
External Antenna Icon: Press this button to turn the
External Antenna on or off. The external antenna is On when
the icon displays in the screen header, as shown in Figure 52.
