TBD A circuit switched data call is in progress.
A high-speed (1X or 1xEV-DO) packet data connection is dormant; the
radio channel has been released allowing you to make and receive
voice calls. You can resume data transmission without the need of re-
establishing the connection.
Some applications may not be able to function on a dormant
connection.
A fatal error has occurred and the AirCard is inoperable. Close Watcher
and restart your PC.
