Personality Transfer

Introduction

Due to the different variations (OEM looks)
of the GSM StarTAC™ personal cellular tele-
phones, each main board must be config-
ured correctly to ensure that the unit takes
on the correct personality required. There-
fore, 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
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'.
