9.3.4 Entering your PIN code
If you have enabled the PIN code on your SIM card, you will automatically be asked to type it in. If enabled, you
won’t be able to use your iCON
®
452 until you have typed in the PIN code. This will happen every time you
power up the device.

9.3.5 Checking Status
Once the PIN code is entered (or immediately if you have disabled the PIN code), the iCON
®
452 will look for
the network. You can check the status by moving your mouse pointer over the GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 icon to
get a quick status report showing the network name, technology being used and the signal quality.
Figure 7: Network Information Balloon
If GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 is opened, you can see the signal strength immediately in the lower right corner. If
you need to know the signal strength more accurately (e.g. in fringe areas you may want to determine the
location where you have the best reception) double-click on the signal strength indicator to see an enlarged
view of the signal strength indicator.
Figure 8: Signal Strength Indicator
The indicator next to the signal strength shows 3G if you have 3G coverage. Once you have a connection, the
indicator shows HS if a HSUPA (HS) connection was established.
