Selection mode

Phoning abroad requires the use of a foreign network. You can select the network manually or let your telephone do it automatically. Entering »Selection mode« gives you these options:

Automatic Let your phone find an available network automatically. Your phone will always try to reach your home network first, then alter- natively find another available net- work. You have the possibility of establishing a preferred list (see below), indicating the order of pref- erence in which your phone should select a network.

Manual Your phone will always start searching for the network with which it was in contact when it was last switched off. If the phone cannot locate this network, it will present some alternative net- works in the display, and you must then select one manually.

Set preferred list

Enter a list of networks in your own order of preference and store them on your SIM card.

To do this, select the empty loca- tion where you want to store the new network. Pressing »EDIT« will open a list of networks. Find the network you wish to store in your preferred list, and press »OK«. If you select a currently used location and press »EDIT«, the former occu- pant will be deleted if you enter a new one.

Country selection

If you choose automatic network selection, you can restrict your phone to connecting only to net- works selected from the »Use country list«. In »View list« you can select which countries you want to allow. You can delete countries from the list by pressing »EDIT«, followed by »DELETE«.

Network types

Select whether your phone should start searching for a GSM 900, GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 network. If you select all 3 network types the telephone will automatically start searching for the network that offers the best connection.

Facts & Tips

If you want to add a network that is not shown on the list of networks, select »Specify« and enter the coun- try code and network number of the network.

The country list can contain 15 dif- ferent countries. Your home network will always be the first one on the list and cannot be deleted.

Select »Unlimited« in the country list and you will be able to connect to all available networks.
