MOTOROLA MICRO-TAC "FLIP" SERIES SECRETS CODE

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.

TEST MODE PROGRAMING:

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 programing mode.
2. The * key advances to the next step. (NOTE that test mode programing 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 programing at any time.
5. To complete programing 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.

Steps 01 through 06 and 12 will repeat for NAM 2 if the second phone number bit has been enabled in step 11.

NOTES:

Take care with Motorola's use of "0" and "1". Some options use "0" to enable, some use "1".

These are eight digit binary fields used to select the following options:

1. (step 02 above, suggested entry is: 11101001 for "A" system, 10101001 for "B" sys)

Digit 1: Local use mark, 0 or 1.
Digit 2: Preferred system, 0 or 1.
Digit 3: End to end (DTMF) dialing, 1 to enable.
Digit 4: Not used, enter 0.
Digit 5: Repertory (speed) dialing, 1 to enable.
Digit 6: Auxiliary (horn) alert, 1 to enable.
Digit 7: Hands free (VSP) auto mute, 1 to enable (mutes outgoing hands free audio until the MUTE key is pressed).
Digit 8: Min mark, 0 or 1.

2. (step 10 above, suggested entry is: 00000100)

Digits 1 - 4: Not used in USA, enter 0.
Digit 5: Single system scan, 1 to enable (scan A or B system only, determined by bit 2 of step 02. Set to "0" to allow user the option).
Digit 6: Super speed dial, 1 to enable (pressing N, or NN SND will dial the number stored in memory location NN).
Digit 7: User selectable service level, 0 to enable (allows user to set long distance/memory access dialing restrictions).
Digit 8: Lock function, 0 to enable (allows user to lock/un-lock the phone, if this is set to 1 the phone can not be locked).

3. (step 11 above, suggested entry is: 00000000)

Digit 1: Handset programing, 0 to enable (allows access to programing mode without having to enter test mode).
Digit 2: Second phone number (not all phones), 1 to enable.
Digit 3: Call timer access, 0 to enable.
Digit 4: Auto system busy redial, 0 to enable.
Digit 5: Speaker disable, 1 to enable (use with select VSP units only, do not use with 2000 series mobiles).
Digit 6: IMTS/Cellular, 1 to enable (rarely used).
Digit 7: User selectable system registration, 0 to enable.
Digit 8: Dual antennae (diversity), 1 to enable.

4. (step 16 above, suggested entry is: 0011010 for portable and 0011011for mobile units)

Digit 1: Not used, 0 only.
Digit 2: Not used, 0 only
Digit 3: Continuous DTMF, 1 to enable (software version 8735 and later)
Digit 4: 8 hour time-out, 0 to enable (software version 8735 and later)
Digit 5: Not used, 0 only.
Digit 6: Failed page indicator, 0 to enable (phone beeps when an incoming call is detected but signal conditions prevent completion of the call).
Digit 7: Portable scan, 0 for portable, 1 for mobile units.

C-SCAN OPTION:

Newer Motorola phones are equipped with a feature called C-Scan, this is an option along with the standard A/B system selections. C-Scan allows the phone to be programed with up to five inhibited system ID's per NAM. This is designed to prevent the phone from roaming onto specified non-home systems and therefore reduce "accidental" roaming fees.

1. C-Scan can only be programed from test mode, power phone up with the relevant test mode contact grounded (see above).
2. Press # to access test mode.
3. Press 18#, the phone will display "0 40000".
4. Enter the first inhibited system ID and press *.
Continue to enter additional system ID's if required. After the 5th entry the phone will display "N2". Press * to continue and add system ID's for NAM 2 as required.
5. If an incorrect entry is made (outside the range of 00000-32767) the display will not advance, press CLR and re-enter. Use a setting of 40000 for any un-needed locations.
6. When the last entry has been made press * to store and press # to exit, turn off power.

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.

SYSTEM SELECT PROCEDURES:

Phones with a RCL button: Press RCL *, then * to select, STO to store.

Phones with no RCL button: Press Control * then * to select, # to store.

Options are: CSCAn: Preferred/Non preferred with system lockout.
Std A/b, or Std b/A: Preferred/Non preferred.
SCAn Ab, or SCAn bA: Non preferred/Preferred
SCAn A: "A" ONLY
SCAn b: "B" ONLY
HOME: Home only

(these are typical options, some phone's vary. C-Scan only available on newer models and does not appear unless programed, see above

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.
