5-2 Product Support Tool (PST)
The Product Support Tool(PST) offers you the
ability to interface with the SCH-210 cellular
phone using a personal computer. You can
program the phone, swap phone data, and
download software upgrades.

If this software is executed in Windows by
mistake, it may work abnormally and damage
the phone especially while downloading.
Please check the mode you are using.
You can transfer EEPROM data one unit at a
time.
It is illegal to copy to several units.

5-3 Data Transfer program
Product Support Tools
When the main board of a customer's cellular
phone is required to be replaced with a new one,
or the customer is needed to use a phone lent from
the service center while his phone is serviced, this
feature is used to transfer(copy) all the EEPROM
data of the customer's phone into the new board or
the lent phone to keep the information the
customer had stored into his phone personally.
5-3-1 Getting Started
1. Run the DTRANxx.EXE file. If you run the file
for the first time, the message 'INITIAL FILE IS
CREATED' appears. Do not delete the created
file because the file creates DTRANxx.CFG to
store environment setup data. The message
does not appear once you have run the
program.
2. Press any key to go to next procedure.
Function Keys
Fl Reads EEPROM data from the
customer's cellular phone.
3. Press <F1> key to read EEPROM data from the
customer's cellular phone. On screen, 'Change
the mode of the phone from HANDS-FREE
mode to DM mode' message appears. On the
LCD display of the phone, 'AUTO TEST' and
'WRITE EEPROM' messages appear. If the
phone is already in DM(Diagnostic Monitor)
mode, the message does not appear.
4. After the mode is changed to DM, EEPROM
data on the cellular phone is read by PC. You
can monitor the reading procedure on the
screen.
5. When the data reading is completed, 'Replace
the source phone with the target phone and
press <F5> when ready' message appears on
the screen.
6. Press any key to clear the message. The cellular
phone displays 'DELETED' and '300-300-3000'
instead of greeting and phone number
respectively. All the features of the phone
including ESN are reset to default status, and
the phone can not be operated.
F5 Writes the data of the customer's phone
into the EEPROM on the new board.
ALT+X Exits programming and returns to DOS
mode.
5-3-2 Operation Procedure
1. On standby mode, 'Please check the
communication link between your PC and the
phone prior to beginning ...' messages appear
on the screen. You are ready to transfer data.
2. Switch the phone power on after you have run
the program.
7. Remove the phone from the test jig and connect
the new phone to the test jig.
Caution: If you try to perform reading again
without writing after reading is already done once,
the error message 'READING FROM THE PHONE
WAS ALREADY BEEN CARRIED OUT,
WRITING SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT' appears
on the screen.
8. Press <F5> key to perform writing EEPROM
data. You can monitor the writing procedure
on the screen.
9. When the data writing is completed, the phone
will reset. The program returns to standby
mode and is ready to read data from another
phone. 'WELL DONE, DATA TRANSFER IS
COMPLETED' appears on the screen.
10. Check if the transferred EEPROM data is the
same.
