System selection

Your phone is capable of working in residential, private, and
public systems. You can choose how your phone selects a
network to use.

This feature is Menu 5 in your phone. The default is Automatic,
which means your phone automatically searches for networks
available to you and chooses the appropriate one. Every time
you switch on your phone, Automatic is selected.

If you choose Manual, your phone displays a list of available
and unavailable networks. (You can’t use unavailable
networks.) Scroll through the choices and press OK when
you reach the one you want.

If you choose New Search, your phone begins a new search
for new private and residential systems. When it finds the
best new system, it displays it. You can then select it or start
another search by pressing Next.

Note: The Manual and New search features can be used
only when your primary phone number (NAM1) is selected.
