SID MANAGEMENT

(NAM OPTION)

This feature enables you (by NAM option) to take advan
tage of the family of SID groups. This is a group of
cellular systems in cities that your carrier owns or has

special billing arrangements with. Your close family
SID's (like brothers and sisters) will be billed at the same
rate as your home billing and will be indicated as “Home”
(i.e. both INOSVCI and [RÔÂM] are off) on your display.
More distant family SID's (like cousins) that your
cellular service provider has roaming agreements with
will be displayed as a solid I ROAM I. When flashing I ROAM I
is displayed, you are using a SID system that is not

included in the NAM assigned groups.
If your display indicates flashing I NO SVCl, you will need
to change your A/B switch selection or, please refer to
Multiple City Registration to change phone registration
to enable you to make a call.
If in question as to what SID (system identification) you

are using, push @, to display the current SID.
