Network Selection
To make and receive calls, your Personal Communicator must be registered with one of
the available networks. These can be either GSM900, GSM1800 or combined GSM900/
1800 network types.
Your Personal Communicator automatically searches for the last network used. If this network
is not available, your Personal Communicator attempts to register with a different network.
When your Personal Communicator attempts to register with a different network, it generates
a sorted list of networks. 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.
Change Band
This feature lets you select another band. If your Personal Communicator cannot connect to a
network after changing the band, use the Available Networks option.
