is
selected
automatically, manually
or

the

area.
The
phone
will default back
to
Automatic if it is switched off.
Manual
If you
want to
select the desired network
manually
from
a
list of
network. If the connection
to
the
manually
selected network is
lost,
the
phone
will sound
an error
tone
and ask you
to
select
a
network
again.
The selected network
must
have
a
roaming
agreement
with
your home
network,
that
is,
the
operator
whose SIM card is in your
phone.
The
phone
will let you select another network if the
phone
fails
to
access
the selected network. If you switch off the
phone,
the
phone
will be
reset to
Automatic.

can
set
a
list of
preferred
networks the handset should
attempt
to
register
with
first,
before
attempting
to
register
to
any other
networks. This list is created from the handset's
predefined
list of
known networks.
