What does P1 mean?

8 replies · 1,769 views · Started 20 July 2005

I've got a Sendo X on Vodafone, and there is a P1 next to the signal strength indicator, also sometimes there is a letter G with a square round it. I've had a quick check of the manual but can't see what they mean?

Cany anybody shed some light on these? The curiosity is killing me.

P1 is the profile you're using (general)
G means GPRS is active

What's the symbol between the Pn and the signal strength meter? I know I'm gonna feel such a fool when I know the answer, but I just can't figure it out. It looks a bit like a letter Y with a line cross the top.

It just means signal. (it's an aerial symbol)

When you're using GPRS it swaps to the G (with a box when GPRS is connected). When GPRS is turned off, you get the "normal" network aerial.

Ta. A bit pointless then?

The absence of a 'G' would do that, but thanks.

It would, but I quite like my little aerial symbol 😊
