TRAVELING BETWEEN SYSTEMS
When you travel, you may have to change the phone system setting. You
can choose from six phone system settings:
• Last active—useful when you move between iDEN and GSM
systems that do not overlap, for example, traveling between New
York and Paris. If your i2000plus phone cannot locate the last
system, for example, iDEN, it attempts to locate the other system,
GSM.
• Roam—useful when you are in an overlapping system-coverage area
and have no preference for either system. This selection causes your
i2000plus phone to switch between iDEN and GSM until it finds an
acceptable network.
• iDEN preferred—useful if your home system is iDEN and you are in
a country or region where GSM coverage is also available. Your
i2000plus phone always searches first for iDEN networks.
• iDEN only—useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN
and GSM, but you want to use iDEN. Your i2000plus phone attempts
to register only on iDEN networks.
• GSM preferred—useful if your home system is GSM and you are in
a country or region where iDEN coverage is also available. Your
i2000plus phone always searches first for GSM networks.
• GSM only—useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN
and GSM, but you want to use GSM. Your i2000plus phone attempts
to register only on GSM networks.
To reselect the phone system:
1. Press n until you see the “Prgm” menu
option.
2. Select “Prgm”.
3. Press 5, 5, then select “OK”.
4. Press s until you see the desired
system.
5. Select “OK”.
Searching for a Network
While you are on a GSM network, you can perform an automatic or
manual search for available networks. A manual search allows you to
view the available networks and make a selection rather than use the
network automatically selected by the phone.
