This display is used to toggle the BTS_TEST flag in EEPROM. If BTS_TEST
is set then each time the mobile sends a search list it uses only the carrier
number stored on SIM phonebook location 33. Also the neighbour information from
system information messages is ignored. If the BTS_TEST flag is not set,
then the value of SIM phonebook location 33 is ignored and the mobile behaves
normally (i.e. does neighbour measurements according to GSM specifications).
To activate BTS TEST perform the following steps:
- Save desired channel number in SIM phonebook location 33.
- Select display 17 in execute mode
- Switch power off and on
If activation succeeded, you will read "BTS TEST ON" in display 17.
To deactivate BTS tests either select display 17 in execute mode or
save number 0 in SIM phonebook location 33 and switch power off and on.
NOTE! The display does not show the value of the BTS_TEST flag in EEPROM.
Although the value is set, BTS_TEST can be off. If there is no legal
carrier number in SIM phonebook location 33 (GSM900: 1-124, GSM1800: 512-885) the
display shows that BTS_TEST is off. Also if the mobile was already
registered to some carrier before switching BTS_TEST status, the display
can show a different value from the one in EEPROM.

This test is meant to be used when some cells are tested before taking them into commercial
use. By setting the CELL_BARRED to on in the base station normal GSM phones will not try to
camp on these barred cells.
By selecting CELL BARR REVERSE, the MS will only use the cells which have CELL_BARRED set.
By selecting CELL BARR DISCARD, the MS will use all cells, irrespective wether CE
LL_BARRED
is set or not.
NOTE: If a cell has been selected before barring state in phone is changed the selected cell
will remain the current cell. After the next cell reselection the cell barring state is
working as expected.
