What does this symbol mean?

Ascension · 07-06-2007, 05:13 PM

By the way, before I posted this thread, I searched the forum and the owners manual and was not able to find the answer. I know someone knowledgable on this forum knows what this symbol means

I recently paired up my new Mororola Razr V3m to the radio and noticed a blinking triangular symbol (right above the "SC" on the radio) near the time on the car radio. The owners manual indicates the symbol that I should be seeing consist of 5 lines in a vertical position with the middle line being longer that indicates cellular network reception:flashes if a call is made"(it's hard to describe). Instead of seeing that, I see the blinking triangular symbol next to 5 bars. I got a pic to prove it

Anyway, can someone tell me what the blinking triangular symbol means

I appreciate your help :rocks:

From what I recall from a past thread, that is the roaming symbol.

That icon tells you the phone is in "roaming" mode. On the idrive screen the flashing is down right annoying.

I got that symbol on my iDrive when I had a call come in that I did noit answer and they left a message. It went away after I picked up the voice mail.
