How to read the Tread Wear Indicators on Continental Gatorskin road bike tires.

I’m waiting to put on my gator skins on a bicycle that came with Ultra Sports- not the II or III, the regular original Ultra Sports that I have read are prone to puncture. I’m at 2470 miles, so roughly 3975 clicks. I can still see the tire wear indicators, but it’s getting close- have to check after every ride. I know these are entry level, but getting this mileage from these, I am really looking forward to my gator skins. I’d like to see how far they go until they lose at least one of the marks- but am anxious for my gator skins. Either way, I think I’ve found my bicycle tire company!
Incidentally, I think they put wear indicators on all of their tires- and not sure if any other manufacturers do.
