Programming Guide

Enhanced Preferred Scanning allows you to tell your cellular phone which
networks to register with when your home network is not available. You
can tag the System ID number of a particular network with one of three
types of preference (1) Home Preferred, (2) Roam Preferred, and (3)
Inhibit.

If your home network is not available, your phone will first seek
available Home Preferred Networks, then Roam Preferred Networks, and
finally any available network including networks that are programmed as
Inhibit.

Keep in mind: If you program a network as Home Preferred, the Roam
indicator will not be displayed when you are registered with this network.

Instruction: Key Sequence: Display:

1. Enter Enhanced Press 7, 9, 7, 4, 3, FCN, FCN Nam 1 Sys IDs
Preferred Mode (S-Y-S-I-D FCN FCN).
for NAM

2. Choose Memory Press # to scroll to an empty 001 ***** Empty
Location location.

3. Enter 5-digit Use keypad to enter number. 12345
System ID Press STO

4. Choose Preference Press # to scroll to your desired Roam
Type type. Home
Inhibit

5. Save Entry Press STO. You will see a loca- 12345 Roam
tion number 001-200, the new SID, 12345 Home
and your network preference. Or
12345 Inhibit

6. Program Another Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each 002 *****
System ID System ID. Empty

7. Exit Enhanced Press END to exit when you are
Preferred Mode finished.
for NAM

Programming NAM 2-4

Programming NAM 2, 3, and 4 is the same as programming NAM 1, EXCEPT in
Step 1 press S-Y-S-I-D 2, 3, OR 4. For example, to program NAM 2, press
7, 9, 7, 4, 3, 2, FCN, FCN and follow Steps 2-7.

CDMA Dual Mode Programming Guide

IMPORTANT: Programming id normally done by a trained technician at the
site of purchase. To do your own programming, you will need the following
information. Contact your Cellular Service Provider to request this
information and record it here along with your cellular phone number:

Phone Number: _ _ _ - _ _ _ - _ _ _ _
Analog System ID: _ _ _ _ _
Digital System ID: _ _ _ _ _
Digital Network ID: _ _ _ _ _

Fill in the blanks in Steps 2 - 5 below with the necessary numbers. Then
follow these five easy steps to program your phone.

Instruction: Key Sequence: Display:

1. Enter NAM 1 Press 7, 4, 6, 6, 3, #, 1, FCN, Enter Number
Programming FCN (*****s P-H-O-N-E-#, 1, FCN
Mode FCN).

2. Enter your Phone Use keypad to enter number, AMPS System ID
Number (_ _ _) _ _ _ - _ _ _ _.
Press STO.

3. Enter Analog Enter _ _ _ _ _. Press STO. CDMA System ID
System ID

4. Enter Digital Enter _ _ _ _ _. Press STO. CDMA Network ID
System ID

5. Enter Digital Enter _ _ _ _ _ (typically 65535). Entry Done
Network ID Press STO.

Don't worry if you make a mistake. You'll see: Try again. After a few
seconds, your phone will display the number you just entered. Press CLR
to erase one digit at a time or press and hold CLR to erase the entire
entry. Enter the correct number, then press STO and you're finished.

Programming NAM 2 - 4

Follow Steps 1 - 5 for programming NAM 2-4 also, EXCEPT in the step one
sequence press 2, 3 or 4 for the NAM 2, 3, or 4. For example, to program
line 2 enter P-H-0-N-E-#, then 2, FCN, FCN and follow Steps 2-5 again.

None of this works with this model phone. Any other suggestions?

I just finished programming a startac 7797 from AT&T. It was a TDMA phone, I
do not know what the 7897 is (CDMA/TDMA/????).

Anyways they told me to power up the phone.
Press "FCN" and then 0000000000000 (thats 13 zeros) then "RCL"

You then get into a programming mode, that starts with "01" I do not know
what these mean but I will tell you what I have on my phone. Press the " * "
to advance to the next part. There are 12 parts

01 00025
02 area code
03 phone number
04 11 (they wanted me to change this value to 14 but the phone would not
allow me to)
05 02
06 10
07 000000
08 824
09 0333
10 0708
11 111100
12 11111

They had me go through this list and change some values, enter my phone
number, and check some values. I think if you press " # " key it will save
what you have changed.

Also you can get into programming your "NAM" by entering

#program# send
or
#7764726# send

You can also try this

1) # (Carrier sys ID) #* send
2) *
3) enter security code 000000 (6 zeros)
4) send
5) enter your phone#
6) Send

I was asked to do this for a MCI worldcom 7797 phone that I had, which was
really an AT&T phone sold by MCI. I now use it on a regular AT&T account.

hope this helps
