MICRO-TAC "FLIP" SERIES:
This phone follows similar methods as outlined for the 8000 series above.
Remove the battery and locate the three contacts at the bottom of the phone, the two outer contacts are
raised and connect with the battery. The center contact is recessed, this is the Manual Test Mode
connector.
Now look at the battery contacts, the two outer ones supply power to the phone, the center contact is
an "extra" ground. This ground needs to be shorted to the test mode connector on the phone. The
easiest way to do this is to put a small piece of solder wick, wire, aluminum foil or any other
conductive material into the recess on the phone. Having done this carefully replace the battery and
turn on the power, if you have been
successful the phone will wake up in test mode.
GENERAL NOTES:
HANDSETS: Most Motorola handsets are interchangeable, when a handset is used with a transceiver
other than the one it was designed for the display will show "LOANER". Some features and buttons
may not work, for instance if the original handset did not have a RCL or STO button, and the
replacement does, you will have to use the control * or control # sequence to access memory and A/B
system select procedures.
NEWER 95xx PHONES (Thank you Motorola!!!)
Many newer phones don't require grounding. If your software version number is 9526 (I think) or
newer, enter this:
[FCN] [0] [0] [*] [*] [8] [3] [7] [8] [6] [6] [3] [3] [STO]
In case you have trouble remembering the number sequence, it spells out "TESTMODE." Leave it to
Motorola to make this easier and easier all the time.
I have used this and it does work. This command just backs up my claim even further that esn
changing via handset is a reality. It's a matter of finding the correct combination of keys.
Normal test mode commands work like usual from then on.
For some odd reason, this hasn't been included in all the 95xx phones. I believe they started it in
Software 9526. This is only an estimate, so if you have a 95xx flip, let me know what software version
you have and whether it works or not so this date can be isolated. Mine is a 9562 that worked.
ULTRA CLASSIC II SERIES:
Ground Pin 2 to pin 4.
LOCK/UNLOCK PROCEDURES:
Phones with "LOCK" buttons: Press lock for at least 1/2 a second.
Phones with a "FCN" button: Press FCN 5, note that 5 has the letter's "J,K, and L" for lock.
Phones with no FCN or LOCK button: Press Control 5, control is the black volume button on the side
of the handset.
