4. Press Operating Mode ( F1 ) and select Cell Off from the popup menu. The configurable parameters for controlling access burst power are only available when the test set's operating mode is Cell Off .
5. Select Cell Info ( F6 ).
6. Select Cell Parameters ( F2 ).
7. Scroll to MS TX Power Max CCH (GSM or GPRS) and select it.
8. Scroll or use the keypad to enter the power level you want. Once you've entered a new value, notice that the value the Cell Parameters area of the Cell Info screen displays changes to match the power level you've specified.

   For example, If the Cell Band is set to PGSM, and you set the MS TX Power Max CCH (GSM) to level 7 (which corresponds to 29 dBm), the maximum power the mobile station is allowed to transmit on the contol channel is 29 dBm.
