Deciphering the Call & Battery Status Screens on CDMA Digital StarTAC's
(776x, 786x)
Thanks to Richard Ness for
providing a good chunk of this information. I haven't cleaned up most of it yet,
and I'm still trying to fill in the last section... E-mail me if you have any

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT CAUTION IS USED
First, Get into Test mode: FCN 00 ** 83786633 STO
Then, enable the Debug Menu Feature:
5509# then changing bit 6 from 0 to 1 (i.e.01000100 STO)
And Reboot the Phone:
01#
Now just press FCN FCN to get the new menu.
Use standard scroll and select buttons. CLR or END to exit.
The only selections that should be used are:
Battery Status Mode
Call Status Mode
Vocoder
