Default strange warning message icon

Does anyone know the meaning of this message icon?
Searched the whole user manual but couldn't find the definition of this icon.

Appreciate so much if anyone could help.

Looks like a SIM chip. Possible related to the telephone module?

That's the first thing that occurred to me when I looked at that icon. We have a consensus!

We may be wrong, but we're agreeable people anyway.

I put in a sim card but could not set phone function, might be malfunction of the phone module. Hope it is not relayed to engine or gearbox.

That symbol means that your tracker is activated but the dongle is not in your wallet/pocket. I suggest you double check with the dealer re VTS activation. Or carry the dongle!!
