Automatic Frequency Band Selection
Your HP iPAQ has an integrated GSM/GPRS/EDGE feature that supports
four different frequency bands which allow for international roaming.
When traveling between countries and wireless network operators, the
automatic selection feature changes the frequency bands of the GSM/
GPRS/EDGE connection settings. It does this by initiating an automatic
search for network frequency bands when your home bands are not
available. This automatic selection feature is the default setting on your
HP iPAQ.
