currently assigned phone number (Menu 53), Press MENU 5 3.
2. Once at the desired menu, press STO to access the adjustment mode.
3. Next, press \/ or /\ to change the setting.
4. Press STO to store the new setting.
NAM SELECTION
If you regularly travel between 4 different cities, you can have a
different telephone number (NAM) assigned to each location. If "ROAM" is
displayed, and you are in one of your NAM locations, then you need to
select the proper NAM (NAM 1 through NAM 4).
SYSTEM SELECTION
When you are traveling, you may need to change your A/B System so you can
eliminate the "NO SERVICE" indicator. You may also need to select a
different System whenever you change the telephone number or select the
programmed SID. Some Systems are "wireline" (conventional telephone
network), and some are "non-wireline". Ask your service provider for more
information about these Systems.
The various Modes are:
A-ONLY
B-ONLY
A-b
B-a
HOME
SID ONLY
Before changing your System, check and record the present System setting.
If you see "NO SERVICE" on the display for more than a few seconds, the
phone is in an area that will not support operation in the selected Mode.
You must then choose another.
1. Press MENU 5 4 to go to the "SYSTEM SELECT" menu.
2. Press STO to display the current System.
3. Press \/ or /\ to display the desired System.
4. Press STO to change the displayed System.
Modes "A-ONLY" and "B-ONLY" are used when you travel in areas other than
your home area and the cellular coverage is strong wherever you go. If
the cellular phone is out of the service providers cellular coverage, "NO
SERVICE" is displayed. If you are in a System area opposite to your Home
System, "ROAM" is displayed.
"HOME" is used within your Home Area. It is the System you are authorized
on. When you are out of your Home Area. "NO SERVICE" is displayed.
A-b and B-a are used when you travel in areas where cellular coverage is
weak or split into several System types. This allows you to avoid
switching back and forth manually, reducing the chances of missing calls.
However, you may incur double roaming charges.
ROAMING
Many carriers (airtime providers) make arrangements with carriers in other
cities to allow use of mobile telephones in areas other than your Home
area. If you are traveling in an area where cellular service is provided,
and you wish to use your cellular phone, check with your Cellular Service
Company before leaving your Home area. They will give you information
about registering and operating your cellular phone in a particular area.
In some cities, depending upon your Cellular Service Company, no
registration will be required. You may dial your phone as if you were
traveling in your Home area. However, if you call a number local to the
area in which you are roaming, first dial the area code of the local number
(no preceding 1), then the rest of the phone number. Keep in mind that
calls to your Home area may incur long distance charges.
Other areas will require advance registration with a major credit card, or
may require that all long distance calls be dialed using a telephone credit
card or other charge method (collect, third telephone number). Your
Cellular Service Company can give you the information before you make the
trip. If that is not possible, simply dialing a call will, in many cases,
provide needed information.
You may hear a recording (no airtime charge) that gives procedures for
roaming calls and connects you immediately (during business hours) to a
registration clerk. If you cannot obtain roaming services on one carrier,
try switching to the other type. It is important to remember that the
"ROAM" indicator does not mean the phone is authorized to make calls; only
that a system other than the Home system is detected.
SID (SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION)
In general, metropolitan areas are served by more than one service
provider. Under certain circumstances you may be roaming in an area that
has two A systems or two B systems that overlap, and you could be charged
two roaming charges. To prevent this double charging, program in the
System Identification number (SID) for that area, and then activate the
number when you are in that location. (You will get the SID from the
service provider in that location.)
CAUTION: Any errors in programming this feature could disable your phone.
See your Cellular Service Provider for more information about
this feature.
SID INHIBIT
There may be situations, especially when roaming, in which you will need to
"lock out" a specific system. You may be in an area where two or more
cellular services of the same type overlap. For example, there may be two
"A" systems with overlapping coverage. In that case, you might receive a
bill from both services for any calls you make. Or, you may be in an area
where the roaming charges are very high.
CAUTION: Any errors in programming this feature could disable your phone.
See your Cellular Service Provider for more information about
this feature.
