PERSONALITY TRANSFER
Dual Band 880/890 (DCS/GSM)
Personality Transfer
Introduction
Due to the different variations (OEM looks)
of the phones, each main board must be
configured correctly to ensure that the unit
takes on the correct personality required.
Therefore, when a main board is replaced its
personality must be transferred into the new
board, so that it functions correctly in the
customers unit. There are two possible
methods of transfer:
• Normal Transfer, and;
• Master Transfer.
If the defective unit powers up, then the
Normal Transfer method should be
followed. If the faulty unit will not power
up, then a Master transfer will be required to
configure the replacement board, once
installed.
Normal Transfer
This method allows the personality, selected
features and stored phone numbers of a
defective radio, to be transferred into a
repaired radio. Data is transferred from the
donor unit into the recipient unit using a
Transfer card (Part No 5104025D01). The
instruction steps should be followed in
order.
Step 1. Insert the Transfer card into the slot
located on the back of the donor
unit. Turn the donor unit on, the
display should show ‘Clone’.
Step 2. The donor unit is now in the
cloning mode, and ready to transfer
the first block of data.
Step 3. Enter 021# via the units keypad.
This command will cause the first
block of information to be
uploaded into the Transfer card.
Step 4. While data transfer is taking place
between the unit and the card,
‘Please Wait’ will be displayed.
After a short period of time, if the
data transfer has been completed
correctly, ‘Clone’ will re-appear in
the donor units display.
Step 5. When the first data block has been
successfully uploaded, remove the
card from the donor.
Step 6. Insert the Transfer card into the slot
located on the back of the recipient
unit. Turn the recipient unit on, the
display should show ‘Clone’.
Step 7. The recipient unit is now in the
cloning mode, and ready to receive
the first block of data.
Step 8. Enter 03# via the units keypad. This
command will cause the recipient
unit to download the first data
block from the Transfer card.
Step 9. While data transfer is taking place
between the card and the unit,
‘Please Wait’ will be displayed.
After a short period of time, if the
data transfer has been completed
correctly, ‘Clone’ will re-appear in
the recipient units display.
