NAM/Phone Number Setup – Override Commands
Step #6 - How to Override the Number of Dedicated Control Channels.
Press: Φ # * 26 * _ _ #
The spaces represent your 2-digitrange of Dedicated Control Channels. When you first turn on the Phonecell, it automatically scans up to 21 control channels looking for your cellular provider. Then, it locks onto the strongest signal. NOTE: the factory default setting is 21 channels. To change the number of channels, you must enter a 2-digitvalue in the range of 01 to 21. (For instance, to set up 9 control chan- nels, enter: #*26*09#.) If you enter the range incorrectly, you'll hear three short tones followed by the programming tone; if correct, you'll hear the programming tone again.
Step #7 - How to Override the System Preference.
Press: Φ # * 7 * _ #
The space represents your 1-digitsystem preference. enter: Φ 0 for System “A” preferred
enter: Φ 1 for System “B” preferred
enter: Φ 2 for System “A” only
enter: Φ 3 for System “B” only.
This sets the preference for your cellular provider. If you enter the pref- erence incorrectly, you’ll hear three short tones followed by the pro- gramming tone; if correct, you’ll hear the programming tone again.
Step #8 - Hang up. The flashing LED indicator will become solid GREEN.
Phone number setup is complete.
Optional A-Key (Authentication Code) Programming
Depending upon your cellular service provider, you may be required to enter an Authentication Code (A-Key)before you make or receive any calls. Contact your service provider to determine whether A-Key is required.
The A-Key is a cellular system solution to prevent cloning, counterfeiting and cel- lular fraud. It’s a unique, 6- to 26-digit code provided by your service provider that validates your MIN (Mobile Identification Number) and ESN (Electronic Serial Number) before you make or receive calls. Once you’ve entered the A-Key, your Phonecell automatically verifies the code with the cellular provider before every call. There’s no need to re-program the unit, unless you switch to a new service provider or change your MIN.
Use the following key sequence to program the A-Key:
Press: Φ # * 27 * <A-Key> #
The < > brackets represent your 6- to 26-digitA-Key (Authentication code), which is supplied by your cellular service provider.
IMPORTANT!
!For security reasons, your complete A-Key is never transmitted over the phone. However, you should keep the number in a safe place to prevent counterfeiting, fraud or cloning.
