Menu 7, System Search

Your phone works in Public Systems (such as your Home
System), and in Private Systems (if supported by the net-
work). With Menu 7, you choose how the phone selects a
network to use. The default is

Automatic

, which means

the phone automatically searches for networks available to
you and chooses the appropriate one. Every time you
switch on the phone, it resets this to

Automatic

.

(Note that it chooses which Public system to use based on
the choice you make in Menu 6 1, Public Systems).

If you choose

Manual

, the phone searches for networks,

then begins displaying them. The phone displays

AVAIL-

ABLE:

or

NOT AVAIL:

for the systems it finds. (You

cannot use

systems.) Use the

W key to

scroll through the choices, and press

(OK)

when you see

the one you want.

If you choose

New Search

, the 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

.

To switch from private to public

If you are in a private system and want access to a public
system, press and hold left

ñ

(Menu)

, when you are

not in a call. You can then search through and select avail-
able public systems. The phone uses the public system
you choose for one outgoing call. After that it goes back to

Automatic

system selection.
