To set your handset for manual base
selection (with an automatic search
default)
This setting tells your handset to search
for a specific base signal for 30 seconds.
If the signal can not be found, the
handset reverts to automatic selection
of the base with the best signal. This
setting is recommended where there is
an overlap between two or three base
stations.
The handset must be switched ON.
• Press the STO button.
• Press the INT button. Display shows
the numbers of the base stations at
which the handset is registered.
• Press the number of the base (from
1 to 4) through which you wish to
make calls.
• Press the same number again. This
tells the handset to revert to
automatic search if the chosen base
is unavailable.
• Press STO to confirm.
If you move out of range from one base
station and into the range of another during
a call, you will lose your connection.
If your handset is taken out of range, switch
it off, move back into base station range,
and then switch on again. This will speed
up re-registration to the base signal.
If you do not wish to allow the handset to
revert to automatic signal selection press
the base station number just once. This will
mean that the handset can only operate
through the base you select.
The handset must be switched ON.
• Press the STO button.
• Press the INT button. Display shows
the numbers of the base stations at
which the handset is registered.
• Press the 0 button to set automatic
selection.
• Press the STO button to confirm.
The handset will now select the base
offering the strongest signal. Display
can show the base station selected
(see previous section ‘To set/clear the
base station number display’).
If you are in an area where base station
signals overlap it is best to specify the base/
telephone line you operate through. In this
case you change automatic base selection to
manual selection (with an automatic
search default), see opposite.
