Personal Communicator User's Guide

Network Selection

Network Search

Determines how often your communicator attempts to register with a

network and how the attempt is made.

Registration Preferences

Set this to an automatic search (performed by your communicator) or to manual search

(performed by you).

• Automatic Search - Your 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 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 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.
