Network Selection enables you to register with an available GSM network, select an
appropriate network band, locate and register with new networks, specify a preferred
network, and set network preferences.
Selecting a Network
In order for your Accompli 009 to make and receive phone calls, it must register with one of
the available networks. The Phone application can handle either of the following network
types:
• GSM900/1800
• GSM1900
The Phone application automatically searches for the last network used. If, for any reason,
this network is unavailable, Phone attempts to register with a new network.
When it is necessary to register with a new network, a list of networks is generated. The list is
sorted in the following order:
• The Home network
• Networks from a preferred list
• A random list of other networks found above a certain signal strength.
Any forbidden networks, stored in the SIM card, will be displayed but cannot be selected.
Changing Network Bands
The country where you purchased your Accompli 009 determines the default band that it
uses. When purchased in the United States, the GSM 1900 band defaults. When purchased
elsewhere, the GSM 900/1800 band may default. When you travel abroad, remember to
change to an appropriate band.
When you select a new band, the Phone application displays a confirmation message and
then automatically searches all the available networks. It then attempts to register with a
preferred network within the selected band.
To change the network band:
1 Select Controls from the Home screen.
2 Select the Phone setup icon.
3 Select the Network Selection button from the toolbar. The Network Selection screen is
displayed.
4 In the Band option box, select one of the following options:
•
GSM 900/1800
• GSM 1900
