HOW to SET UP Your Phone Number

Your SX4e has been designed for easy setup and installation. You can program the Phonecell SX4e 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.

Before you begin programming, connect the antenna, plug in the power, and connect a tone-dial (DTMF) telephone.

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

2) Press:

# * 0 * 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 #

The tone will change to a different, steady "Programming" tone and the bottom LED indicator on the Phonecell will blink alternately RED and GREEN to indicate that you're in programming mode. You now have two minutes to start the programming steps.

3)Press: # * 1 * <MIN> #

This key sequence is used to enter your 10-digit telephone number (Mobile Identification Number, or MIN). If you enter the number incorrectly, you'll hear 3 short tones followed by the programming tone. If correct, you'll hear the programming tone again. If the MIN phone number value is not 10 digits, it is considered invalid and the FWT will not update or store this value; the currently stored value will remain.

4)Press: # * 5 * <SID> #

This key sequence is used to enter the 1- to 5-digit System Identifier, or SID. This information identifies your cellular service company. If you enter the SID incorrectly, you'll hear three short tones followed by the programming tone; if correct, you'll hear the programming tone again. If the SID value is not in the range of 0 to 32,767, it is considered invalid. The factory default is 69.

5)Press: # * 4 * <paging channel> #

This key sequence is used to set up your 1- to 4-digit initial paging channel. When you turn on your Phonecell, this channel helps the service provider find you-and vice-versa. If the paging channel is not in the range of 1 to 1023, it is considered invalid. Channels 800 to 990 are invalid. The factory default channel setting is 333.

6)Press: # * 7 * <band order> #

This key sequence is used to enter the band order. The band order value is a series of digits between 1 and 2 (1 and 8 for Tri-Mode model) that must be at least 1 digit and not more than 2 digits (8 digits for Tri-Mode model) long. The following table describes the relationship between the band order digits and EIA/TIA-136 system/band assignment:

EIA/TIA-136 System A (800 MHz)

Band B (1900 MHz)

Band C (1900 MHz)

Band D (1900 MHz)

Band E (1900 MHz)

Band F (1900 MHZ)

The factory default is 12 for the TDMA 800 model and 34125678 for the Tri-Mode model.

7)Hang up the phone. The flashing LED indicator will become solid GREEN. Phone Number Setup is complete.
