Abstract
A wireless communication device includes multiple properly arranged indication members. Thus, the indication members may be operated corresponding to the strength of the local RF (radio frequency) signal, so that the user may directly learn the strength of the local RF signal easily, rapidly and instantaneously, so as to decide whether to transmit or receive the data or not, or to take other procedures, thereby preventing from incurring unnecessary time consumption, and thereby enhancing the working efficiency. In addition, the method for directly indicating the strength of a signal for a wireless communication device includes the steps of: querying a signal strength value; determining a control value according to the signal strength value; and using the control value to control operation of the multiple indication members.
