INTRODUCTION Your 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 your cellular system operator (or operators) for the necessary information as described below. Enter the information received from your cellular system operator in the NAM Programming Data Table (included in this manual) before programming the NAM of your cellular telephone. Follow your system operator's instructions regarding each NAM information entry. Incorrect NAM entries can cause your cellular telephone to operate improperly or not at all. Your cellular telephone can be programmed up to three times. After that, it must be reset at a Motorola-authorized service facility. Be sure to read through this entire manual before attempting to program your phone. 2. FEATURES TO BE PROGRAMMED You must request seven pieces of information from the cellular system operator to allow you to program your cellular phone. You provide the remaining information. Write all of this programming information on the NAM Programming Data Table provided on page 15 of this manual before commencing the procedure. Incorrect NAM entries can cause your cellular telephone to operate improperly or not at all. The required information is: * System Identification (SID) Code (S-digits)--Indicates your Home system. Enter O's into the left-most unused positions. Provided by the system operator. * Cellular Telephone Number (10 digits)--Used in the same manner as a standard 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 most personal or portable telephones. Even though your phone has extended bandwidth capability (832 channel capacity), the cellular system operator may require your station class code to remain 06. The code should be 14 if 832 channel operation is allowed. (If you have the convertible accessory, 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 convertible accessory--with the personal telephone disconnected) Provided by the system operator. * Access Overload Class (2 digits)--Provided by the system operator. * Group ID Mark (2-digits)--Provided by the 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. Refer to your operator's manual for further details. 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. Consult your user manual. 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. Your system operator can tell you if you need to select this feature. To select, program 1. --Auto Recall--This feature is always set at 1. --Second Phone Number--This feature is normally not used and is assigned a value of 0. However, if you have arranged with a cellular system operator to have a second phone number, select this feature by programming 1. --Diversity--This feature is always set at O for the portable/personal telephone used alone. (If you have a convertible accessory, and it has two external antennas, select this feature by programming 1.) * Option Bits (3 digits)--This programming step allows you to program an additional three separate features in one step. Each feature is either selected or cancelled with the digit 1 or 0. The three individual single-digit features combine to form a three-digit code which is entered as one step. If any of the features is to be changed, the entire three-bit word must be reentered. --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 not used and is assigned a value of 0. However, you can select Long Tone DTMF by programmlng 1. NOTE Personal or portable models with a MENU key can more flexibly select and cancel this feature through the Menu. 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 throughh the Menu. --Future Use--This feature is always set at 0. --Eight-Hour Timeout (Convertible only)--Personal 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. 3. OBTAINING SYSTEM REGISTRATION DATA A cellular phone owner purchases service from a cellular system operator, just as he would purchase land-line service (for standard telephones) from the local telephone company. In cities with cellular coverage, the customer may have the option of picking one oE two possible cellular system operators. Before you can obtain a phone number, you will have to supply your cellular system operator with your electronic serial number.AII cellular telephones contain a special Electronic Serial Number (ESN). The ESN uniquely identifies your phone and provides a measure of protection against theft and fraud. The ESN is an eight-character (numeric/ hexadecimal) number printed on the box your phone came in. Once you supply your electronic serial number to the system operator, he will issue your phone number and supply the other information required to program the NAM. You should immediately enter this information on the NAM Programming Data Table on page 15 of this manual. 4. PROGRAMMING YOUR TELEPHONE 4.1 Determining the Initial Programming Sequence The initial programming steps include a sequence of keypresses which vary depending on the type of cellular telephone you have. The telephone NAM can be programmed from the personal or portable telephone keypad. Determine from Table 1 which of the six keystroke sequence numbers to use on your phone, based on the type of keys present on the keypad. Table 1 Determining the Sequence Number with Personal/Portable Keypad Keys on Personal or Portable Keypad Sequence MENU and FCN keys 6 FCN key but no MENU key 1 No Fcn key 2 If you have the convertible accessory, the telephone NAM must be programmed from the convertible handset. (Makesurethatthepersonaltelephone is disconnected from the convertible accessory before programming the convertible.)The handset type can be read from the label on the back of the handset. The keystroke sequence number is determined from Table 2. If you have the convertible accessory, and wish to use it separately as a standalone mobile, you may obtain an additional telephone number and program this into the convertible accessory at this time. Table 2 Determining the Sequence Number with Convertible Handset Model Handset Type Sequence 3000 SCN2007A 6 6000 SCN2023A 2 6000X SLN2020A 1 6000XL TLN2659A 1 6800XL TLN2733A 6 Chose one of the six initial programming sequences from Table 3 depending on the sequence number which you determined from Table 1 or 2. Table 3 Initial Programming Sequence Sequence Number Sequence 1 FCN, Security Code entered twice, RCL 2 STO, #, Security Code entered twice, RCL 3 Ctl, O + Security Code entered twice, RCL 4 Ctl, O + Security Code entered twice, * 5 FCN, O + Security Code entered twice, MEM 6 FCN, O + Security Code entered twice, RCL Security code is programmed 000000 at the factory. 4.2 Initial Steps Before you proceed with the programming procedure, be sure you have filled out the NAM Programming Data Table on page 15. Step a. Turn on your cellular telephone by pressing the Pwr or On/Off button. The power indicator in the display will flash. Step b. Enter the proper keystroke sequence determined from Table 3. Step c. The message 01 will appear in the display to confirm the activation of the NAM programming feature. It also indicates that you are at the first step in the NAM programming sequence. If this message does not appear, it may be due to one of the following: * The initial sequence may not have been entered quickly enough. The appearance of zeros in the display will indicate this. Press Clr and try again. * The six digit Security Code may have previously been programmed into your cellular telephone. If this is the case, you must re-enter the activation sequence using the assigned security code. * The maximum number of times that your cellular phone can be reprogrammed from the keypad may have been reached. Contact the personnel where you obtained your cellular telephone if reprogramming is required. * The ability for your cellular phone to be programmed from the keypad may have been disabled or cancelled. Contact the personnel where you obtained your cellular telephone if reprogramming is required. 4.3 Programming Procedure Programming for a single phone number can be as quick as a four-step process or may take up to 11 steps, depending on how many programable features you wish to review or change. The phone always has some information programmed for each of the features, whether that information is standard programming performed at the factory or information provided by someone who programmed the unit previously. If, while you are programming, you are satisfied with the value already programmed for a particular feature, simply press * to move to the next feature. At any time that a two-digit step number (01-11) appears in the display, you may store all the information programmed in the phone by pressing SND to return to normal phone operation. In order to perform the following steps, it is necessary for you to refer to the completed NAM Programming Data Table. If you enter a digit incorrectly, press the Clr button and start again.

Check to make sure that the information programmed matches what you wrote in the NAM Programming Table. Make any required changes. 4.5 Storing the Information If you are programming a single phone number, press SND to store the programming information when you are satisfied that it is all correct. A two-digit step number (01-11) must appear in the display in order for you to store the data. Press * until one appears and then press SND. Your personal or portable cellular telephone is now ready for normal use, if you are programming a single phone number. 4.6 Programming the Second Telephone Number If 01 2 appears in the display after you have pressed SND to store the programming information for the first phone number, you are ready to repeat some or all of the ten steps, this time for a second phone number. The 01 indicates that you are ready to enter the System ID information (step l) and the 2 indicates that you are programming information for the second telephone number. The phone assigns the same security and lock codes (steps 7 and 8) for the second phone number and as so skips from step 6 to step 9. There is no step 11 when programming a second phone number. If 01 2 did not appear after programming the first phone number, and you wish to program a second number, either the second telephone option has not been selected (step 10) or your phone is not equipped for dual system operation. Once you have completed the programming steps, review the information by repeatedly pressing *. Check to make sure that the information programmed matches what you wrote in the NAM Programming Table. Make any required changes. Press SND to store the programming information when you are satisfied that it is all correct. (A two-digit step number (01-10) must appear in the display.) Your personal or portable cellular telephone is now ready for normal use. 5. BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE If you experience operating difficulties, check the following before making a call for service. * Have you read your User's Manual ? Everything you need to know to operate your cellular telephone is in your User's Manual. Take the time to read it and become familiar with all the features of your telephone before calling for service. Note that not all of the features discussed below are included in all telephone models. * If your telephone is equipped with Vehicular Speaker Phone (V.S.P.), do you hear excessive feedback noise during a V.S.P. call ? Because of audio variations in the cellular system, excessive feedback noise or howling may sometimes be heard when a full duplex (if your telephone is so equipped) V.S.P. call is placed or received. If this occurs, decrease the speaker volume using the volume control of the side of the handset. Motorola's full duplex Vehicular Speaker Phone is designated V.S.P. 11. * Have you unlocked your unit ? Your cellular telephone is inoperative when locked as indicated by the word Locked in the display. To unlock the telephone, enter your 3-digit lock code. The word Locked will disappear. * Is the red NS (No Service) indicator lighted ? This may indicate that you are outside the service area or in a marginal reception area. Marginal reception may also be indicated by a fast busy or alternating high-low sound when attempting to place a call. * Have you programmed a unique operating mode into the unit ? Constant flashing of the yellow Roam or Rm indicator or illumination of the red No Svc or NS (no service) indicator while in your home service area may indicate an undesired roam characteristic choice has been selected. See "Roaming and System Operation" in your User's Manual.
