Other Networks
When you turn on the phone, it normally selects its home network. If the
home network is not within range, for example when you are abroad,
you may use another network, provided your home network has an
agreement that allows you to use the network. This is called roaming.
The
NETWORKS
menu includes a number of functions which you can
use to determine how the phone searches for a network. You may also
select a network yourself from those within range.
How to Select Search Mode
Automatic Search Mode
❶
Select Searchmode from the
NETWORKS
menu.
❷
Select Auto - automatic search mode. Press YES.
The phone will first search for its home network. If the home network is
not available the phone will search for another available network within
range.
The order of preference in which the phone will select a network is
determined by a list of preferred networks.
Manual Search Mode
❶
Select Searchmode from the
NETWORKS
menu.
❷
Select Manual. Press YES.
The phone will first search for its home network and then for the
network that was used last. If none of these networks are within
range, the question Select network? appears.
❸
To select network, press YES.
How to Select a Network

Select Select net from the
NETWORKS
menu.
The message Please wait is displayed briefly.
●
If the home network is within range and you are using it, the name of
the network is displayed with the message Current.
●
If you are using another network, the name of the home network is
displayed with the message Home.
Note! Instead of the full name of a country and a network, an
abbreviation is displayed when you use the
NETWORKS
menu. To see the
full name of a network, press *.
●
If the home network is not within range, the name of another network
is displayed with the message Current, Preferred, Available or
Forbidden.
●
Current means that the network in your display is the one
currently used.
●
Preferred means that the name of the network is included in a
list of preferred networks on your SIM card.

Available means that you are enabled to use the network. You
may still be rejected.
●
Forbidden means that you are not allowed to use the network.
You can, however, make emergency calls.

If no network is within range, the message No network is displayed.
●
If more than one network is within range, the name of the other
networks can be displayed by pressing the right arrow.

When the network you wish to use is displayed, press YES to select
it.
How to Start an Automatic Network Search
An automatic network search can be started at any time.
●
Select New search form the
NETWORKS
menu.
Forbidden Networks
The names of the forbidden networks are stored in a list on your SIM
card. If such a network is within range, it will be omitted when the
phone searches for a network (automatic search mode).
