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 17).
