NEC TR5e1320-9A Test Mode


Before trying any of these functions you must first get it into test mode.
This is done by taking it to bits and locating two metal contacts underneath
the battery section.  The one to the right  will have "TEST" printed by it,
the one to the left will have "AGING" (not sure what this is for).  The TEST
contact needs to be grounded, the easiest way is to solder some wire from
TEST to the metal shielding.  Once this is done you can then re-assemble the
phone.

Power up the phone and press:

RCL # 

The display should now say TEST MODE

Then press 01
The display should be filled with blocks.

You can now enter the commands that follow.

Please note that a ? by a function means that it does something, but I don't
know what.  And a X means that it comes up with ERROR, presumably there is
not a function associated with  it.

69	Audio Scanning.  This is the cool bit where you can listen in on cellular
conversations.  You can enter 4 digits, there are two sets of channels 0000
to 600, and 1329 to2047.  When you have entered the channel you want to start
scanning from press #,  the phone will then start scanning from that channel.
 Say you started from 1400, the display will look like this:

0400-XXX 

(The XXX referring  to the signal strength).  When a strong channel is
received you can press * to stop scanning, and * again to resume.  I've found
the best channel to start from is 1400.  Although this might be just in my
area.

PLEASE NOTE that you must have the audio turned on (RCL # 12) to hear the
conversations.

70	x
71	Enters programming mode.  "Phone No."  should be displayed.  Following the
following # keypresses will give the following:

Phone No.
#	Lock Code
#	Home Area
#	Sys Select (1=A VODAPHONE, 2=B CELLNET)
#	System No.
#	Roam (1=Yes, 0=No)
#	Timer SW. (1=V Voice CH, 0=CR Charge RT)
#	Priority

If you want to change any, enter the required number and press #, when
finished press and hold CLR.

76	x
77	Not sure about this one.  Displays "T" then a 4 digit channel can be
entered, pressing # displays an "R" another 4 digits can be entered.  I
presume the "T" and "R" refer to Transmit and Receive, but I can only receive
in Audio mode. 

78 to 93 don't seem to do anything.

94	I think this is some sort of squelch, when enabled the signal to noise
ratio is increased.
95	Squelch off
