R290 User’s Guide

The Mode Menu allows you to configure the phone to cellular only mode, satellite only mode or to set the preferential mode of operation to cellular preferred or satellite preferred.

•The phone will only attempt to register on a cellular network when it is in cellular only mode.

•If the phone is in satellite only mode, it attempts to register on the Globalstar network but a cellular network search may also be performed without leaving this mode.

•Selecting the cellular or satellite preferred option will allow that mode to be specified as the preferred mode of operation for the phone. Selecting a preferred option means that when the phone is next powered up, or when there is a loss of service and a network search is performed, this mode of operation will be used.

After selecting the cellular or satellite only modes, the message ‘ Please Wait’ will be displayed. If the mode change request is not successful, the message ‘ Request Rejected’ will be shown, otherwise the display will show either ‘Cellular Only Mode Selection Enabled’ or ‘ Satellite Only Mode Selection Enabled’.

Selecting either of the preferred modes gives an acknowledgment followed by ‘ Selection Effective Only After Power Up’. Switch the phone OFF then ON to activate the mode.
