Step 3. NAM/Phone Number Setup

IMPORTANT!

!If your Phonecell was NOT pre-programmed for NAM (Number Assignment Module/Phone Number) information, follow the steps below. Otherwise, continue to STEP 4, pages 12,13.

You can program the Phonecell SX3 with an ordinary tone-dial (DTMF) telephone, which is sometimes referred to as a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) phone. NOTE: this programming mode is not accessible while you're in a call.

Step #1 - Pick up the POTS handset and listen for a tone (either a steady dial tone or a beeping no-service tone).

Step #2 - Enter the Master-Programming mode by pressing:

Φ# * 0 * 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 #

The dial tone should change to a different, steady “Programming” tone and the LED indicator on the front of your Phonecell should blink alternately RED and GREEN to indicate that you’re now in the programming mode. You now have two minutes to begin the programming steps below.

Step #3 - Press: Φ # * 1 * _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #

The spaces represent your 10-digittelephone number. (This is also called a Mobile Identification Number, or MIN.) If you enter the number incorrectly, you'll hear three short tones followed by the programming tone; if correct, you'll hear the programming tone again.

Step #4 - Press: Φ # * 5 * _ _ _ _ _ #

The spaces represent your 1- to 5-digitSystem Identifier (SID), which ranges from 0 to 32,767. This information identifies your cellular serv- ice provider. (For example, to set up 555, enter #*5*555#.) If you enter the SID incorrectly, you'll hear three short tones followed by the pro- gramming tone; if correct, you'll hear the programming tone again.

NOTE: depending upon whether you enter an odd SID or an even SID, the Phonecell will automatically set the remaining NAM parameters to AMPS standards – as shown in the table below.
