8 Using Your Tri-Mode Phone for Data
Tip
The calling mode preference has probably been preset on your
phone. You can change the Auto Mode preferences or manually
override them for a particular call.
For example, your phone could be set to look for Globalstar satellite service
only. In that case, if you try to make a digital cellular packet data
connection, your computer will report “No dial tone,” and your Tri-Mode
Phone screen will say “Check mode preferences” or “Mode mismatch.”
Auto Mode Selection
Auto Mode sets mode preferences (Globalstar satellite, digital, or analog)
that the Tri-Mode Phone uses automatically to look for service, in order of
priority.
For more information, see “Auto Mode” in your QUALCOMM Globalstar
GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone User Guide.
To set your Auto Mode selection
1. Under
menu, select System, then AutoMode.
2. Select
Data to select modes for data connections.
or
Select
Voice to select modes for voice calls.
Make sure “Analog only” is not selected under
menu > System >
AutoMode > Voice > Cell Pref
. Data service is not available for analog
cellular connections.
For asynchronous connections, make sure “Cell Only” is not selected
under
menu > System > AutoMode > Data. Asychronous data service is not
available for cellular connections.
Note
For data service, the phone mode set under Data must be
compatible with the mode set under Voice. For example, if your
Data preference is set to “GStar Only,” but your Voice preference
is set to “Cell Only,” you will not be able to make a data
connection.
Manual Mode Selection
Manual Mode manually selects the mode that the Tri-Mode Phone uses to
look for service (Globalstar satellite, digital, analog, or Auto Mode). A
manual mode selection remains in effect until you turn the phone off. When
you turn on the phone again, it uses the Auto Mode setting.
For more information, see “Manual Mode” in your QUALCOMM Globalstar
GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone User Guide.
