Traveling Between Systems - Motorola iDEN i2000 User Manual

TRAVELING BETWEEN SYSTEMS

When you travel, you may have to change the phone system setting. You
can choose from six phone system settings:
• Last active—useful when you move between iDEN and GSM
systems that do not overlap, for example, traveling between New
York and Paris. If your i 2000 cannot locate the last system, for
example, iDEN, it attempts to locate the other system, GSM.
• Roam all—useful when you are in an overlapping system-coverage
area and have no preference for either system. This selection causes
your i 2000 to switch between iDEN and GSM until it finds an
acceptable network.
• iDEN preferred—useful if your home system is iDEN and you are in
a country or region where GSM coverage is also available. Your
i 2000 always searches first for iDEN networks.
• iDEN only—useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN
and GSM, but you want to use iDEN. Your i 2000 attempts to register
only on iDEN networks.
• GSM preferred—useful if your home system is GSM and you are in
a country or region where iDEN coverage is also available. Your
i 2000 always searches first for GSM networks.
• GSM only—useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN
and GSM, but you want to use GSM. Your i 2000 attempts to register
only on GSM networks.

Searching for a Network
While you are on a GSM network, you can perform an automatic or
manual search for available networks. A manual search allows you to
view the available networks and make a selection rather than use the
network automatically provided by your carrier.
1. Press until you see the "Prgm" menu selection.
2. Select "Prgm".
