2.8 Changing the CDMA Phone Settings
Setting the phone connection to CDMA-only mode
When the phone is in CDMA-only mode, it can only access the Verizon network if available, or access other
CDMA roaming networks when outside the Verizon network coverage area. You may want to set the device
to CDMA-only mode when you want to access CDMA services or to prevent the device from accessing GSM
networks and accruing data charges.
To change to CDMA-only mode
Tap Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings.
Tap Personal > Phone > Network tab.
Under Mode of operation select CDMA only from the drop-down menu.
Linking to CDMA services
Your device can directly link to the Verizon CDMA network, and enable you to access and change the settings
of various phone services for your device when it is in CDMA mode. Contact Verizon to find out about the
availability of phone services for your device.
To access CDMA services and change their settings
Tap Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings.
Tap Personal > Phone > CDMA Services tab.
Select the service you want to use, and then tap Get Settings.
Choose your desired options, and then tap OK.
