TRAVELING BETWEEN SYSTEMS

When you travel, you may have to change the phone system setting. You
can choose from six phone system settings:
¥ Last activeÑuseful when you move between iDEN and GSM

systems that do not overlap, for example, traveling between New
York and Paris. If your i2000 phone cannot locate the last system, for
example, iDEN, it attempts to locate the other system, GSM.

¥ RoamÑuseful when you are in an overlapping system-coverage area

and have no preference for either system. This selection causes your
i2000 phone to switch between iDEN and GSM until it Þnds an
acceptable network.

¥ iDEN preferredÑuseful if your home system is iDEN and you are in

a country or region where GSM coverage is also available. Your
i2000 phone always searches Þrst for iDEN networks.

¥ iDEN onlyÑuseful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN

and GSM, but you want to use iDEN. Your i2000 phone attempts to
register only on iDEN networks.

¥ GSM preferredÑuseful if your home system is GSM and you are in

a country or region where iDEN coverage is also available. Your
i2000 phone always searches Þrst for GSM networks.

¥ GSM onlyÑuseful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN

and GSM, but you want to use GSM. Your i2000 phone attempts to
register only on GSM networks.
