Motorola DPC-550 (170-1059) Features Faxback Doc. # 15576 The cellular phone contains a special memory which retains information about the phone's individual characteristics, such as its assigned telephone number, system identification number, and other information that is necessary for cellular operation. This special memory is known as the Number Assignment Module (NAM). You can program the phone yourself, if the phone has not already been programmed where you purchased it. You can also reprogram the phone yourself should you wish to change some of the features already selected for the NAM. The programming of the NAM is performed after you have contacted the cellular system operator (or operators) for the necessary information as described below. Enter the information received from the cellular system operator in the NAM Programming Data Table (Faxback Doc. # 9583) before programming the NAM of the cellular telephone. Follow the system operator's instructions regarding each NAM information entry. Incorrect NAM entries can cause the cellular telephone to operate improperly or not at all. The cellular telephone number can be programmed up to fifteen times. After that, it must be reset at a Motorola -- authorized service facility. FEATURES TO BE PROGRAMMED You must request seven pieces of information from the cellular system operator to allow you to program the cellular phone. You provide the remaining information. Write all of this programming information down for future reference before commencing the procedure. Incorrect NAM entries can cause the cellular telephone to operate improperly or not at all. The required information is: System Identification (SID) Code - Indicates your Home system. Enter (5 digits) 0's into the left-most unused positions. Provided by the system operator. Cellular Telephone Number - Used in the same manner as a standard (10 digits) land-line telephone. The mobile phone number and the Electronic Serial Number are checked against each other by the cellular system each time a call is placed or received. Provided by the system operator. Station Class Code (2-digits) - 06 or 14 for Digital Personal Communicator or portable telephones. Even though the phone has extended bandwidth capability (832 channel capacity), the cellular system operator may require the station class code to remain 06. The code should be 14 if 832 channel operation is allowed. (If you have the Extended System, and wish it to be programmed with a separate phone number for standalone operation, the class code mark will be set to 12 for the Extended System--with the Digital Personal Communicator telephone disconnected). Provided by system operator. Access Overload (2-digits) - Provided by the system operator. Group ID Mark (2-digits) - Provided by system operator. Security Code (6-digits) - The six-digit security code allows the user to restrict his calls in certain ways and it permits other advanced security measures. Select any 6-digit code that you will remember, but one that will not be easily compromised. Unlock Code (3-digits) - The 3-digit unlock code unlocks the telephone after it has been locked. Locking the telephone allows you to prevent unauthorized usage. With many models, this number can be programmed as often as desired. Select any convenient 3-digit number. Initial Paging Channel (4-digits) - Use a leading zero if required. (Example: Channel 334 is entered as 0334). Provided by the system operator. Option Bits (6-digits) - This programming step allows you to program six separate features in one step. Each feature is either selected or cancelled by assigning a value of 1 or 0. The six individual single-digit features combine to form a six-digit code which is entered as one step. If any of the features is to be changed, the entire six-bit word must be reentered. Internal Speaker - This feature is normally selected by programming 0. However, if you purchased the Convertible Accessory and it contains a separate External Speaker/VSP unit, cancel the internal speaker feature by programming 1. Local Use - This feature is normally selected by programming 1. Your system operator can tell you if you need to cancel this feature by programming 0. MIN Mark - This feature is normally not used and is assigned a value of 0. Auto Recall - This feature is always set at 1. Second Phone Number - This feature is normally selected by programming 1. Enter a 1 only if you wish to enter a second telephone number and the telephone is equipped for a dual system operation. Future Use - This feature is always set at 0. Option Bits - This programming step allows you to program an additional five separate features in one step. Each feature is either selected or cancelled with the digit 1 or 0. The five individual single-digit features combine to form a five-digit code which entered as one step. If any of the features is to be changed, the entire five-digit code must be reentered. Failed Page Indicator (available in some models) - This feature if activated (1) will alert you with a series of short beeps and "CALL" will appear in the display, if an incoming call could not be completed due to insufficient signal strength. Motorola Enhanced Scan (available in some models) - This feature is always set to 1. Long Tone DTMF - Certain electronic devices, such as answering machines, are not able to decode the normal DTMF tones because the telephone system standard duration is too short. The Long Tone DTMF feature allows access to answering machines and other similar devices by transmitting the DTMF tone for as long as the key is depressed. This feature is normally enabled and is assigned a value of 1. However, you can disable Long Tone DTMF by programming 0. NOTE: Digital Personal Communicator telephone or portable models may include the Long Tone DTMF feature in the MENU, which allows the user to more flexibly select and cancel this feature. However to allow Menu control of the function it must be cancelled in the NAM by setting this bit to 0. If Long Tone DTMF is selected in the NAM with a 1 in this bit, it cannot be reversed through the Menu. Future Use - This feature is always set at 0. Eight-Hour Timeout (Convertible only) - Digital Personal Communicator or portable telephones with the convertible accessory can normally be left active in the vehicle for eight hours with the ignition off. If the timeout feature is selected, the telephone will turn itself off after eight hours to preserve the vehicle's battery. This feature is normally selected by programming 0. However, you can cancel this eight-hour time limit by programming 1. (TE/all-06/08/95)
