￿Network management (4/5)

settings

You have the choice to telephone in satellite mode (SAT) or in GSM 900 mode (GSM) – or to switch automatically between the two modes if you happen to be in an area where only one of the two is possible.

There are several ways to fine-tune the mo- bile phone’s access to networks so that you are never in danger of losing connection with the network.

Note:

For display symbols indicating the network sta- tus and status of signal strength, see page 5.

￿Operating mode: GSM and/or SAT (5)

You can set the mobile phone’s operating mode to GSM or to SAT access. Or you may use both of them by switching between them.

￿Single mode

Irrespective of whether you select exclusive GSM Only or SAT Only mode, you will lose net- work connection if you leave the coverage area that can be reached in that single mode.

To set the operation mode:

Select Menu > System Pref.

￿Preferred mode

If you decide to set the ’preferred’ access either to GSM mode or to SAT mode, the mobile phone will normally operate in that preferred mode. Only if signal strength for operation in the preferred mode becomes too weak the mobile phone switches to operate in the alternative mode:

–If GSM Preferred is selected: The mobile phone will initially attempt to access a GSM network, if no GSM network is available it will automatically attempt to access a SAT network. When operating on a SAT network, the mobile phone pe- riodically scans for available GSM net- works and will switch to GSM if the service is available

–If SAT Preferred is selected: The mobile phone will initially attempt to access a SAT network, if no SAT network is avail- able it will automatically attempt to access a GSM network. When operating on a GSM network the mobile phone will only switch to SAT service if the GSM signal is lost. If SAT operation is desired, the mobile phone can be manually switched to SAT mode using the ’SAT Only’ single mode setting.
