Select Menu > Control panel > Settings and Phone >
Network.
To select the network mode, select Network mode and Dual
mode, UMTS, or GSM. In dual mode, the device switches
automatically between networks.
Tip: Selecting UMTS enables faster data transfer, but
may increase the demand on battery power and reduce
the battery life. In regions close to both GSM and UMTS
networks, selecting Dual mode may cause constant
jumping between the two networks, which also
increases the demand on battery power.
To select the operator, select Operator selection and
Manual to select from available networks, or Automatic to
set the device to select the network automatically.
To set the device to indicate when it is used in a microcellular
network (MCN), select Cell info display > On.

• Packet data — Define when packet data network is
attached, and enter the default packet switched access
point name if you use your device as a modem for a
computer.

Access points
Create a new access point
Select Menu > Control panel > Settings and
Connection > Destinations.
You may receive access point settings in a message from a
service provider. Some or all access points may be preset for
your device by your service provider, and you may not be able
to change, create, edit, or remove them.
When you select one of the access point groups ( , , ,
, ), you can see the access point types:
indicates a protected access point
indicates a packet data access point
indicates a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
Create access point groups
Select Menu > Control panel > Settings and
Connection > Destinations.
Some applications allow you to use access point groups to
connect to a network.
To avoid selecting which access point to use every time the
device attempts to connect to a network, you can create a
group that contains various access points, and define the
order in which the access points are used to connect to a
network.
For example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and packet
data access points to an internet access point group and use
the group for browsing the web. If you give the WLAN access
point the higher priority, the device connects to the internet
through a WLAN if available and through a packet data
connection if not.
To create a new access point group, select Options >
Manage > New destination.
To add access points to an access point group, select the
group and Options > New access point. To copy an existing
access point from another group, select the group, scroll to
an existing access point, and select Options > Organize >
Copy to other dest..
To change the priority order of access points within a group,
scroll to an access point and Options > Organize > Change
priority.
