I would like to add that while I have extensively worked on finding additional test mode commands, I (nor anyone else) have ever worked with the normal operation commands as listed above. For example, above you will notice sequences with
Fcn,
1 or
Fcn,
0,
7. This is totally unexplored territory. Happy hacking :) See entering test mode on the new 95xx phones.

What is
EE3??
EE3 is the software that Motorola has added to the cellular product line which provides feature enhancements and increased security by restricting ESN transfer...
---------
Why did the changes take place?
Due to the
FCC Rule change, all new cellular telephones that were introduced after Jan. 1, 1995 with new FCC IDs must restrict
ESN transfer. Phones introduced prior to this date are "grandfathered" or not required to be compliant with this rule.
---------
How ya can tell the difference between an
EE3 and a non-EE3 fone.
These fones will be identified with the marking of EE3 on the FCC label (look on da back of da fone)
---------
How does the fone change?
Some of the changes EE3 phones have are feature differences, accessory compatibility, and service differences.
---------
Which fones have the PIN CODE feature?
If the phones has EE3 on the back label, then the fone has the PIN CODE feature; with the exception of the EE3 TeleTacs and the pre-AC-P300 boxed contours.
---------
Can a 3-watt VA be used with EE3 fones?
No, the existing 3-watt
VA is not compatible with EE3 fones. The following part numbers are for the new 3-watt booster for EE3 fones and for conversion kits for existing 3-watt kits. The 3-watt booster
has its own handset that comes with it.
Deluxe Booster w/Micro Car Handsfree Kit (EE3 pocket and flip)
# S-5415
Deluxe Booster w/Micro Car Handsfree Kit (EE3 Elite)
# S-5093
Deluxe Booster Conversion Kit (EE3 pocket and flip)
# S-5094

Which Motorola fones have the new Lock feature?
All EE3 fones have the NEW lock feature - FCN,5 and STO to lock it
Well, it seems a lot of people have been trying to figure out the
date of manufacture of Motorola cellular phones. This is easily accomplished by locating the
MSN (Mechanical Serial Number) somewhere on the telephone. It can be 10 or 11 digits. If there is no 11th digit, warranty period is one year. If there is an 11th digit, the warranty period can be determined from the following charts. Without a proof of purchase, warranty date is determined by adding 3 months to the date of manufacture.
MSN Example: 194GSTxxxxW
194 is the Accounting Product Code (APC) and has little use.
G is the location of manufacture
S is the Year Code of manufacture
T is the Month Code of manufacture
xxxx is the actual serial number (hex) of that telephone
W is the Warranty Period
Year Code Year Month Code Month Warranty Period Definition
H 1983 A or B January A 1 yr w/ possible MCSI coverage
J 1984 C or D February B 3 yrs w/ possible MCSI coverage
K 1985 E or F March C 5 yrs w/ possible MCSI coverage
L 1986 G or H April D 2 yrs w/ possible MCSI coverage
M 1987 J or K May E No Warranty
N 1988 L or M June F 90 Days OEM only
P 1989 N or P July H 3 Years, Canada Only
Q 1990 Q or R August L 3 Years, OEM Only
