Step #6 - How to Override the Number of Dedicated Control Channels.

The spaces represent your 2-digit range of Dedicated Control
Channels. When you first turn on the Phonecell, it automatically scans
up to 21 control channels looking for your cellular provider. Then, it
locks onto the strongest signal. NOTE: the factory default setting is 21
channels. To change the number of channels, you must enter a 2-digit
value in the range of 01 to 21. (For instance, to set up 9 control
channels, enter: #*26*09#.) If you enter the range incorrectly, you'll
hear three short tones followed by the programming tone; if correct,
you'll hear the programming tone again.
Step #7 - How to Override the System Preference.

The space represents your 1-digit system preference.
enter: 0 for System “A” preferred
enter: 1 for System “B” preferred
enter: 2 for System “A” only
enter: 3 for System “B” only.
This sets the preference for your cellular provider. If you enter the
preference incorrectly, you’ll hear three short tones followed by the
programming tone; if correct, you’ll hear the programming tone again.
Step #8 - Hang up. The flashing LED indicator will become solid GREEN.

PHONECELL SX3e AMPS 11 USER MANUAL
Optional A-Key (Authentication Code) Programming
Depending upon your cellular service provider, you may be required to enter an
Authentication Code (A-Key) before you make or receive any calls. Contact your
service provider to determine whether A-Key is required.
The A-Key is a cellular system solution to prevent cloning, counterfeiting and cel-
lular fraud. It’s a unique, 6- to 26-digit code provided by your service provider that
validates your MIN (Mobile Identification Number) and ESN (Electronic Serial
Number) before you make or receive calls. Once you’ve entered the A-Key, your
Phonecell automatically verifies the code with the cellular provider before every
call. There’s no need to re-program the unit, unless you switch to a new service
provider or change your MIN.
Use the following key sequence to program the
A-Key:
Press: #
*

*
<A-Key> #
The < > brackets represent your 6- to 26-digit A-Key (Authentication
code), which is supplied by your cellular service provider. If the A-key
is less than 6 or more than 26 digits, it is considered invalid and the
SX3i will not update or store this; the currently stored value will remain.
IMPORTANT!
For security reasons, your complete A-Key is never transmitted
over the phone. However, you should keep the number in a
safe place to prevent counterfeiting, fraud or cloning.
