English term or phrase: Establishing communication in < 30 secs.
This phrase appears on the screen of a handheld computer. We're revising it from "Establishing communication" to "Establishing communication in < 30 secs."

Here are the original translations from which we're working.

Danish: Etablerer kommunikation
Dutch: Communicatie vestigen
French: Communication en cours d'établissement
German: Verbindungsaufbau
Italian: Collegamento in corso
Norwegian: Etablerer kommunikasjon
Spanish: Estableciendo la comunicación
Swedish: Etablerar kommunikation

Italian translation:il collegamento verrà stabilito entro 30 sec.
Explanation:
If I understand correctly, this an information displayed by the device to inform the user (the equivalent of "communication is being established and it will take less than 30 secs")

- and not a prompt or a request for input from the user (which would be translated just as Pasquale Capo has proposed).

Thank you. Can we use this, "Collegamento tra 30 secondi"? (Space is tight on the handheld computer screen.)
