You can program your handset to display the base station with which the unit has radio contact.

Start the setting procedure. The current setting is displayed:

361 = activated, 36 0 = deactivated. Activate the base station number display.

Deactivate the base station number display (factory setting).

When the display is activated, the number of the base station is displayed continuously:

:

-1-	(Example: handset is linked
fN	to base station number 1)

Selecting the best station

Normally, radio contact is automatically reestablished if you move your handset from one base station radio area to another. If problems occur, you can select the best sta- tion. This is the station to which your handset can set up the best radio connection.

Setting the preferred station

We recommend that you define a preferred base station if the handset is located in an overlap area between two or more base station radio areas. This means you no long- er need to change stations frequently.

There are two ways of setting the preferred station:

●you can specify a base station at which the handset should operate permanently ("fixed"). This prevents automatic change to other base stations,

or

you specify a station at which the handset should "pre- ferably" operate.

In this case, the handset searches for the preferred stati- on. A connection is only set up to another station (the best station) if the preferred station is not found (within 30 s).
