If you choose New Search, your phone begins a new search
for new private and residential systems. When it finds the
best new system, it displays it. You can then select it or start
another search by pressing Next.

Note: The Manual and New search features can be used
only when your primary phone number (NAM1) is selected.
See page 31.

To switch from private to public

If you are in a private system and want access to a public
system, press and hold Menu when you are not in a call.
Your phone will display Search public systems? Press OK
and your phone will use the public system for the next
outgoing call. After the call it will revert to Automatic
system selection.

Public system selection

When your phone leaves its home system, it is roaming. Like
other public systems, your home system is either type A or B.
When your phone is roaming, it can search for home-type
systems (same type as your home system) or non-home-type
systems (opposite type as your home system).

Also, your service provider has programmed a list of preferred
systems into your phone. These are systems with which your
service provider has roaming agreements.

Use Menu 4 4 2 to tell your phone how to choose a public
system (network). Your selection remains active until you
change it.

Any system When service is not available in your home
system, the phone searches for a preferred system of either
type, then a home-type system, then a non-home-type system.

Home type When service is not available in your home system,
the phone searches for a home-type system, preferred first.

Nonhome type The phone searches for a non-home-type
system only, preferred first (home system is not used).

Home only The phone uses its home system only (that is, it
will not roam).
