Call Metering; Network Selection - Motorola 6200 User Manual

Call Metering

Your phone has an internal metering system which can be
used to provide you with individual and total call times or
costs.
The default setting for these meters is to show call time.
If you wish to display the cost of calls, you must set the 'Set
Call Cost Rates' option in the Options Menu. This setting is
then used to calculate the call costs. There are two call cost
rates, home and roam, these are both required to calculate
accurate costs.
The meter can be displayed during a phone call and audible
tones can be generated to indicate the passage of call time.

Network Selection

In order for the phone to make and receive phone calls, it
must register with one of the available networks.
Your phone automatically searches for the last network used.
If, for any reason, this network is unavailable, your phone will
attempt to register with a new network.
When your phone needs to register with a new network, it
will generate a sorted list of networks. If no networks are
found will be displayed.
No Service
The network 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.
• All remaining networks in descending order of signal
strength. Any forbidden networks, stored in the SIM card,
will not be included in the sorted list.
Before your phone selects a network from the sorted list, it
will check to see if the 'Network Search - Registration
Preferences' option is set to automatic or manual. The
selection of this option is covered in the Options Menu section
later in this guide.
The addition of networks to the preferred list is covered by the
'Preferred Networks - Add Network To List' option in the
Options Menu.
