Lost WiMAX Connection
If your card does not detect a signal from a WiMAX network, the following screen is
displayed.
Figure 3-7. No Detected Signal
When you see this screen, you have three options:
• Restart connecting in a few seconds — Use this option when you are sure there
is a signal from a WiMAX network to which you want to connect.
• Remain unconnected to network and try to connect later using connect
button — Use this option if you wish to remain offline and continue working.
• Perform full scan (long waiting time) - use this option for roaming only — Use
this option if you do not know the coverage in your local area, to determine what
signals are available. Note that a full scan may take up to 30 seconds to complete.
