Activating/deactivating base station number display on handset
You can program your handset to display the base
station with which the unit has radio contact.
Selecting the best station
Normally, radio contact is automatically reestablished if
you move your handset from one base station radio area
to another. If problems occur, you can select the best sta-
tion. This is the station to which your handset can set up
the best radio connection.
Setting the preferred station
We recommend that you define a preferred base station
if the handset is located in an overlap area between two
or more base station radio areas. This means you no long-
er need to change stations frequently.
There are two ways of setting the preferred station:
● you can specify a base station at which the handset
should operate permanently ("fixed"). This prevents
automatic change to other base stations,
or
you specify a station at which the handset should "pre-
ferably" operate.
In this case, the handset searches for the preferred stati-
on. A connection is only set up to another station (the
best station) if the preferred station is not found (within 30
s).
