Network selection (Menu 7)
The communicator can be set to select automat-
ically one of the cellular networks available in
your area, or you may select the desired network
manually in this menu. This function comes in
handy when you want to select a particular net-
work, e.g., due to lower call charges.
When the Automatic option is selected, the
communicator tries to utilise the network it
was last registered on. Outside of the home
network service area, the communicator will
select one of the networks that have a roam-
ing agreement with the home network.
In the Manual mode, when you pick up a net-
work manually from the network list, the
communicator will always attempt to register
on that network. If the communicator cannot
reach or loses contact with the selected net-
work, you are prompted to select another net-
work.
