Your phone is capable of working in Residential, Private,
and Public Systems (such as your Home System). You
can choose how your phone selects a network to use.
This feature is

searches for networks available to you and chooses the
appropriate one. Every time you switch on your phone,
it resets this to
Automatic

If you choose

search for new Private and Residential systems. When
it finds the best new system, it displays it. You can then
