System
Your phone is capable of working in Residential, Private,
and Public Systems (such as your Home System). You
can choose how your phone selects a network to use.

This feature is Menu 5 in your phone. The default is
Automatic, which means your phone automatically
searches for networks available to you and chooses the
appropriate one. Every time you switch on your phone,
it resets this to Automatic.
If you choose Manual, your phone searches for
networks, then begins displaying them. Your phone
displays AVAILABLE: or NOT AVAILABLE: for the
systems it finds (You can not use NOT AVAILABLE:
systems). Use the
W
key to scroll through the choices,
and press OK when you see the one you want.
If you choose New Search, your phone begins a new
search for new Private and Residential systems. When
it finds the best new system, it displays it. You can then
Select it, or start another search by pressing Next.
Note: If you have two phone numbers (two NAMs), the
Manual
and
New search
features are only used with your primary
phone number (NAM 1). See “NAM selection” on page 45 for
more information concerning NAMs.
To switch from private to public
If you are in a private system and want access to a
public system, press and hold Menu when you are not
in a call. Your phone will display Search public systems?,
press OK and your phone will use the public system for
the next (only once) outgoing call. After that it goes back
to Automatic system selection.
