Phonecell SX4P TDMA 800 6 User Manual
LCD DISPLAY
The LCD displays call, programming and signal strength information - see Figure 10.
Received Signal Strength
The Received Signal Strength is displayed by the first 11 characters (from left to right) in the
Indicator Row - see Figure 10. Received signal strength can be displayed by either a direct
readout of the signal strength in dBm or a signal strength bar graph. This setting is programma-
ble. See the Phonecell SX4P Programming section of this manual.
• Direct Readout displays the signal strength as "-XXXdBm", where XXX refers to the signal
strength. The SX4P monitors signal strength in the range of -110dBm to -48dBm, where -
110dBm indicates no signal and -48dBm indicates the strongest signal. The factory setting is
the Direct Readout Mode.
• Signal Strength Bar Graph displays the signal strength as a series of solid block characters.
The stronger the signal, the more characters are displayed from left to right. To set Bar Graph
mode, see the Phonecell SX4P User-Programming Commands section of this manual.
NOTE: The 12th character (from left to right) is used as a separator only and does not provide
information - see Figure 10. A "||" character is displayed and is always displayed.
Call-Timer
The Call Timer icon appears when the SX4P begins a connected phone call. The call timer
begins as all zeros and increments every subsequent second. The timer will roll over back to
0:00 after 99:59. When the handset is placed on-hook (ends call), the call timer stops and dis-
plays the accumulated call time for thirty seconds. The Call Timer icon is then turned off.
If the handset goes off-hook and a digit is pressed within the thirty second period, the call time
display will immediately turn blank.
