Setting the Way Your Phone Searches for Networks
You may want to configure the phone to search for a specific network or enable
it to select the best network. The i2000 phone enables you to select the option
that's right for you. And, you have six options to choose from:
• Last Active—This is the phone's default setting. It enables the phone to
switch between iDEN and GSM systems that do not overlap (for example,
if you send/receive calls on an iDEN network while in New York. Then
you travel to Paris. Your phone will first search for an iDEN network. If it
cannot locate one, it will automatically search for a GSM network).
NOTE: This is the recommended setting, which reduces network regis-
tration time.
• Roam—This option is useful when you are in an overlapping system-
coverage area and have no preference for either the iDEN or the GSM
network. Your i2000 phone will switch between iDEN and GSM until it
finds an acceptable network.
• iDEN Preferred—This option is useful if your home system is iDEN and
you travel to a country or region where GSM coverage is also available.
Your i2000 phone always searches first for iDEN networks. If an iDEN
network is not found, your phone will then search for a GSM network.
• iDEN Only—This option is useful when you are in an area that is covered
by iDEN and GSM networks, but you want to use iDEN. Your i2000 phone
attempts to register only on iDEN networks.
• GSM Preferred—This option is useful if your home system is GSM and
you travel to a country or region where iDEN is also available. Your phone
will always search for GSM networks first. If a GSM network is not found,
your phone will then search for an iDEN network.
