Color Display
Some Motorola 480's and Digital Concert phones, as well as all Motorola SCN2500A 2900, 2900 Gold Series, 2950 Special Edition, and 2800DLD phones were made with a special color LCD alphanumeric display. The color LCD display is back-lit using a small incandescent light bulb instead of the usual green LED lights for the b/w screens. This bulb uses more power than the LEDs, which is a negative for battery users. The incandescent bulb is also prone to burning out, or breaking in heavy use. The incandescent bulb also heats up the display after a few minutes of use, causing the usually black display background to turn an orange color. Nevertheless, it provides a brighter, easier to read display than the front-lit b/w screens. The downside to the color screen is when the back-light goes out after a few seconds for battery users, the 4 indicators at the bottom of the screen are almost completely invisible.
The color display indicators show up as follows:
Numbers/letters-orange (red on the Digital Concert)
Power (Indicated by a dot on all phones with color displays)-green
InUse-green
NoSvc-red
Roam-yellow
