Network Search
Determines how often your Personal Communicator attempts to
register with a network and how the attempt is made.
Registration Preferences
Set this to an automatic search (performed by your Personal Communicator) or to
manual search (performed by you).
• Automatic Search - Your Personal Communicator automatically generates a list of
networks and then tries to register with the first network in the list. If registration
fails, it tries to register with the next listed network. If registration totally fails, it starts
searching all over again.
• Manual Search - Your Personal Communicator gives you a list of networks to
choose from. If registration is successful, the network name is displayed. If
registration fails, the list is displayed again.
Frequency of Search
You can set the amount of time your Personal Communicator waits before trying to re-
register: slow, medium, fast, or continuous search.
Note: Fast and continuous search may use up a lot of battery power.
