MOTOROLA 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.
