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.
