Specifications

NOTE: Not all commands work on all telephones. If a command is not valid the display will show

"ErrOr." Not all numbers have been assigned. Not all numbers have been listed here. Some commands

were intended only for Motorola factory applications. (This is the disclaimer in the technical training

manual. I have included all of the other commands I have discovered one way or another. I do believe

this is a complete list of the commands.)

Three test commands are significant for programming and registering the telephone for service: see

full descriptions under TEST MODE COMMANDS.

32# Clears the telephone. (Older Motorola allowed either three or fifteen changes in the MIN. After

that, the phone had to be sent to Motorola to reset the counter. This is the command they use.)

38# Displays the ESN

55# This is the TEST MODE PROGRAMMING (as described below).

TEST MODE PROGRAMMING:

Assuming you have completed one of the above steps correctly the phone will wake up in test mode

when you turn the power on. When you first access test mode the phone's display will alternate

between various status information that includes the received signal strength and channel number.

The phone will operate normally in this mode. You can now access Service Mode by pressing the #

key, the display will clear and a ' will appear. Use the following procedure to program the phone:

1. Enter 55# to access programming mode.

2. The * key advances to the next step. (NOTE that test mode programming does NOT have step

numbers, each time you press the * key the phone will display the next data entry).

3. The CLR key will revert the display to the previously stored data.

4. The # key aborts programming at any time.

5. To complete programming you must scroll through ALL entries until a ' appears in the display.

6. Note that some entries contain more digits than can be displayed by the phone, in this case only the

last part of the data can be seen.
