Network Selection enables you to register with an available GSM network, select an appropriate network band, locate and register with new networks, specify a preferred network, and set network preferences.
Selecting a Network
In order for your Accompli 009 to make and receive phone calls, it must register with one of the available networks. The Phone application can handle either of the following network types:
•GSM900/1800
•GSM1900
The Phone application automatically searches for the last network used. If, for any reason, this network is unavailable, Phone attempts to register with a new network.
When it is necessary to register with a new network, a list of networks is generated. The list is sorted in the following order:
•The Home network
•Networks from a preferred list
•A random list of other networks found above a certain signal strength.
Any forbidden networks, stored in the SIM card, will be displayed but cannot be selected.
Changing Network Bands
The country where you purchased your Accompli 009 determines the default band that it uses. When purchased in the United States, the GSM 1900 band defaults. When purchased elsewhere, the GSM 900/1800 band may default. When you travel abroad, remember to change to an appropriate band.
When you select a new band, the Phone application displays a confirmation message and then automatically searches all the available networks. It then attempts to register with a preferred network within the selected band.
To change the network band:
1Select Controls from the Home screen.
2Select the Phone setup icon.
3Select the Network Selection button from the toolbar. The Network Selection screen is displayed.
4In the Band option box, select one of the following options:
