3.9 Monitoring The Network Connection
If your vehicle-mount is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically
associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar
indicates the relative strength of the communication link.
To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:
• Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the Wireless Statistics
dialog box.
Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on
a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by
logging in again.
