Pin-Outs: Bottom view, keyboard up,
counting from the right

1 = + external power supply (7.2Volt - 600mA)
2 = RS232 input (TTL)
3 = GND (digital)
4 = RS232 output (TTL)
5 = +5V output
6 = Test (0=Normal - 1=test mode)
7 = Mute
8 = Internal/external mic and ear (0=External - open=Internal)
9 = GND (analogic)
10 = ?
11 = BF in
12 = BF out

-----------

To check the phone's software (firmware revision information) type:

>*<<*<*

Information Provided:
CXC125065 - 1st line: Cell phone's internal product code.
PRG
970715 1515 - 3rd line: Firmware revision (date & time stamp).

Note:
Latest known software version is: 
980114

 
For shortcut for Last Dialed call menu type: 0#

To check the battery level when the phone is off and not charging, press very quickly
NO and wait for 2 secs.

To see the Full Network Name: Go to the Network menu, when the phone displays the networks available press * and it will show the full name.

To view the full operator list: Go to the 'Edit list' menu under 'networks'. The phone says 'please wait'. When finished, Press the < key once, then YES twice. Now the full list show be displayed. Browse through the list using the < > keys.

 

Pinout of the GA628. Bottom view, keyboard up, counting from the right:

1: Charger plus.
2: Serial input.
3: GND
4: Serial output. Debug messages appear here at 112KBaud when in debug mode.
5: +5V out ? Sources over 100mA.
6: Digital Input. Phone enters debugmode when tied to +5V at power-up.
7: Digital output. High when calling. Could be off-hook signal.
8: Enable external mike and speaker, connect to GND to do so.
9: GND
10: Enable external mike and speaker, connect to GND to do so.
11: External microphone.
12: External speaker, very small signal (10 mV)

All signals seem to be at 5V logic. Most debug messages are text. Like "CB ok!" etc. Debug messages are trailed by 0x0A, 0x0D. Power-up means removal of battery, reconnection of battery, depressure of "NO".

Command set

The following commands are recognised:

AT+GMI  Manufacturer identification
AT+GMO  Request model Identification
AT+GMR  Request revision Identification
AT+GMM
ATDxxx; Dial number xxx (note the semicolon (;))
ATH     Hangup phone
AT+CFUN=? Define levels of fuctionality in the order of power consumed
AT+CBC  Query battery level

Interfacing circuitry

TTL signal levels are use on the data pins of the GA628. Probably the easiest way to generate TTL signals outof a serial port is by removing the RS232 levelshifters (1488 1489 or alike) from the serial board inside your computer !

Notes:
SP Space
LF Line feed (in GSM this implies a carriage return/line feed
combination)
CR Carriage return is forbidden by the TAP protocol and cannot be
included in the message text.

Hidden menus
        Go to MissedCall
        Empty the list
        Press the -> key for a second or two
        The option Menu size turns up
        Choose 'yes' and go from there.
        
        An alarm clock turned up too but it never rang. I think this was
        because there is no clock in the phone.

        Try to type this in your Ericsson:
        >*<<*<*
        where < is the left arrow and > is the right one
