+MFS, Motorola Frequency of Search

This command is used to determine how long the G24 waits before attempting to reregister after a

registration attempt has failed and the G24 is not registered. The available settings are Slow

Search, Medium Search, Fast Search or Continuous Search.

See Table3-106, “+MFS P arameters”, for the minimum interval lengths for every frequency of

search. The interval between attempts can vary, depending on the number of operators displayed

in the preferred operator list.

This command sets or reads Frequency of Search and Search mode settings. After a Set command

has been executed, new Frequency of Search and Search mode values are active.

This command is a non-basic command, which means that the G24 module rejects the command

with an appropriate error message when the SIM is not present and/or the phone is in lock state.
