Puzzle Description:

These are not Indus Script, but they are signs that you might recognize.

They are cell phone symbols: signal strength indicator; E911 indicator; Bluetooth indicator; and battery indicator.

I thought the signal signal strength indicator looked like a wine glass. Once I got nearly done, I saw what everything was and got the theme. Thanks for informing me of the "E911 indicator." I have seen that symbol before, but had no idea what it was for. I still don't really understand. Care to explain?

Great puzzle.

E911 symbol on your cell phone means that your phone is embedded with a Global Positioning System chip, which can calculate your coordinates to within a few yards by receiving signals from satellites.

That is taken from an article that might be of interest to you:

fun one. I enjoyed the solve and the image...ditto #2. :)

Is this a new series? I've been off the computer for the last several days and so I don't know if you've already done more...guess I'll go look now. ;)

This is the "un-series" puzzle that is the opposite of the series of puzzles that came before. :-)
