may not receive incoming calls. As soon as the transfer stops
(Icon: )
incoming calls will be accepted.
Setting the Preferred mode lets you choose how you want to use
your P910a:
• Select GPRS only if you do not want to be disturbed by
incoming phone calls while browsing the Web. All incoming
voice (and GSM data) calls are rejected. If you disconnect
from the Internet, incoming calls can be received. Outgoing
calls are possible, except during data transfer. This mode is
useful if you are using sensitive Internet services, such as
banking.
• If you select GSM only , your P910a will not be connected to
the GPRS network. If you choose to download email or
browse the Web, your P910a will connect to GPRS only as
long as is needed for the data connection.
• If you select Automatic , your P910a will let you answer
incoming GSM calls while having normal GPRS
functionality. A GPRS data connection will be temporarily
interrupted by a voice call.
