Id like to write, that Im not professionally connected with any
-cellular network or phone company. This NetMonitor guide is based on many
-different materials and exists thanks to the support of many different people (see
-Information sources). This is a guide made by user. It may lack description
-to some functions or contain errors and mistakes (resulting from wrong translation or my ignorance) and some strange
-expressions. Many questions remain unanswered. Furthermore, this page is still "under construction". Encouraging, isnt it?
-But thats the (sad) true: Nokia doesnt make appropriate materials available...
-I can only assure you, that I do my best to make this NetMonitor description as reliable and complete as possible.
-
-
In this moment on my homepage you can also find Polish version of this FAQ.
-English language version was created with help of Michal Jerz - author of
-excellent page Nokia 9110 World: http://n9k.ats.pl.
-
-
-Ill be very thankful for any help in creating and maintaining this guide - please
-send
-me any information (or URLs where I can find it), suggestions and remarks. My FAQ currently concerns
-Nokia 2110i, 2120, 2140, 2160, 3110, 3210, 3310, 5110, 5130, 5160, 5190, 6110, 6130, 6150, 6160, 6185/6188, 6210, 6250, 7110, 8210, 8810 and 9110
-series of phones. If you have NetMonitor enabled in any other model
-(for example in 2110i, 6090, 8xxx, 9000), please contact me
-(to let me know about the differences and possible new tests).
-
-
-
-Herewith I inform, that I dont bear any responsibility for any damages and other consequences caused by applying following
-information (you use it on your own responsibility) !
-
-
-
Net Monitor is just a special mode, which when activated shows different information about the network and about
-phone modules, SIM card, etc. After activation your phone will usually display a new, additional menu containing
-strange and constantly changing letters and digits. There are no standards here each phone shows different data
-and there are different methods of activation (my description concerns NetMonitor mode in Nokia phones if you have some
-other phone, you have to go somewhere else). I can even say, that NetMonitor (in some form) can be found in practically
-each present mobile phone (because it is unprofitable for the producers to make two separate software versions
-with and without NetMonitor). Here you can find some URLs to the pages describing activation and/or individual
-NetMonitor menus in other phones:
-
-
"Normal" users surely dont need any NetMonitor, because simply most of the data included there can be of
-any interest and use only for specialists (who can find out almost everything about the network). You also can:
-
-
-
-
feel better and be able to brag that your phone has such a BBIIIIIGGGGGG choice of different options
-
observe different network and phone parameters (I tried to explain their meaning in my description) and find out
-how cellular network works
-
affect some functions in your phone and sometimes make your life easier (using these new options)
-I did my best to point at many useful NetMonitor applications
-
-
-
If you still think, that you dont need it, read other pages concerning Nokia phones.
-
-
-
3. Does my phone use more power with NetMonitor enabled ?
-
-
-
Id say: NO. Each phone monitors the network even when there is no NetMonitor menu active.
-
-
But why some users say, that they have to charge their batteries more often after enabling NetMonitor? It is easy to explain:
-they frequently switch from one test to another (some people cannot stop ;-) and do it habitually) and the phone after each
-key press (by default) turns on the light (and uses much power - see test 23).
-This can be partially cured by using test 18. Additionally,
-some tests (for example
-test 17 or test 19) can put
-your phone in a state of constant network searching (which drains the battery).
-
-
To recap, NetMonitor activation itself doesnt affect power consumption. It can be only changed by some conscious
-user operations...
-
-
-
by connecting your phone to the computer with a cable (in 3210 it has to be connected inside the casing) and using
-appropriate software (RECOMMENDED !) working in:
-
-
-
-
DOS:
-
-
-
-
version 1.3 of PC-Locals - supports both FBUS and MBUS cable connections.
All above programs work with majority of Nokia phones with letter "S" in middle of codename
-(for example, 5110, 5130, 5190, 6110, 6130, 6150, 3210 series). With Nokia 7110 (NSE-5) over DAU-9P cable
-(from Nokia 5xxx/6xxx series phones)
-worked Pc-Locals and Logo Manager only.
-In Nokia 9110 (RAE-2) NetMonitor can be enabled
-with all above programs working with MBUS cable - Logo Manager, Pc-Locals or
-Nokia Wrench.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
When you want to check codename of your phone, try to use one of these codes:
-*#0000#, *#9999#, *#3110#, *#3810#, *#5190#,
-*#6190#, *#8110#, *#837#, *#170602112302# or
-*#682371158412125# (for more information about phone identification click
-here).
-If phone will display something, codename will be written in 3'rd line of screen (it will be something like NSE-1).
-
-
-
-
-
by direct changing the contents of EEPROM
-(Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read-Only Memory).
-This method requires opening your phone and leaves visible traces inside it.
-I DONT RECOMMEND THIS METHOD!
-But if you want to do it:
-
-
-
-
www.eeprom.w.pl - a full description on
-how to do it in Nokia 5110, 6110, 6130
-using special menu, which allow to programm NAM code (in some analog phones only
-- like Nokia 2160, 2120, 5160, 6160, 6185 and 6188):
-
-
-
use *3001#12345# code (sometimes pressing additionaly Menu is required;
-some sources write, that you have to write security code instead of 12345)
-to enter this menu
-
set "Field Test Mode" to "On"/"Enable"
-
restart your phone
-
-
-
-
-
entering Menu 3 3 (according to http://www.ras.ru/~sashka/nokia/550/
-in Nokia 550) and setting it to "ext. test". Later you should restart phone (?)
I dont know details about NetMonitor activation in 1610, 2110, 3110, 8110i, 8810 and 9000 series.
-I dont know exactly which programs to use (I heard only, that probably version 0.6 of PC-Locals allows to make it in older models)
-or how to modify EEPROM memory (if you know anything about that, please
-contact me).
-In this moment I can send you to:
-
-
I also heard, that in some copies of Nokia 6110 and 5110 phones it is possible to activate NetMonitor by a key combination
-(by pressing Menu key and typing 10 this should work even when NetMonitor menu is not visible).
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-If you dont know how to activate NetMonitor, you better ask some more experienced person to do it for you
-(you can damage your phone during this operation) !
-!
-
-
-
-
Id like to draw your attention to one detail - in Nokia phones you just activate the monitor and not upload it (it is always
-in your phone described methods just reveal it as an additional menu).
-
-
-
5. Which NetMonitor version can be activated in my phone ?
-
-
-
Each program described in previous point allows you to activate one of two NetMonitor versions:
-
-
-
-
limited, including tests from 1 to 19 (concerning cellular network only). This version is usually called
-"Field Test" or "Operator field tests" (or you have to enter 242 code to activate it)
-
-
-full, also including phone (and sometimes SIM card) tests. It is called "Engineering" (or "R&D field tests") and its activation
-code is 243.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-I recommend you enable full version of NetMonitor you can always replace it with a limited version
-(by choosing test 242 in your phone). It doesnt work in reverse direction (you cannot activate full menu from
-within the phone it doesnt accept test 243 when limited version is active; of course you can still use
-methods described in previous point).
-
The method of re-programming EEPROM memory is connected with opening the casing and making modifications in your
-phone (which leaves many traces, scratches etc. and voids warranty).
-
-
However, these problems dont appear (you don't have to be affraid) when using one of the described programs
-or code (but I can be wrong . there are opinions that this method leaves a trace in phone.s memory, too)...
-
-
Of course, before getting phone to service, is better to
-deactivate NetMonitor.
-Sometimes, for example, when phone's energy system is damaged, it could be impossible -
-you can have some problems then (some of people working in service can think, that
-you broke warranty - it depends on concrete people)..
-
-
-
7. NetMonitor menu in my phone has different number than 10. Is it normal ?
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Of course, Number of NetMonitor menu (called "Net monitor" or "Field Test")
-is different (depends on firmware version and phone series) in different Nokia phones.
-
-
It can be:
-Menu 7 (Nokia 3110 and 9110), Menu 10 (Nokia 5110, 5130, 6110, 6130),
-Menu 11 (Nokia 5190 and 3210) or Menu 12 (Nokia 8210 or some 6150).
-Nokia 3210 also has a completely different icon for this menu, 6250 doesn't have any icon. So, it's normal and don't be affraid.
-
-
There is also interesting thing connected with it: in Nokia 8210 icon of phone
-in netmonitor's menu is DIFFERENT from icons of phones in other menus in this model, but
-THE SAME to icon in Nokia 8250...
-
-
8. NetMonitor menu in my phone has 11 number, hovewer previous position has 9 number. Is it normal ?
-
-
-
-
-
-YES - It's normal. We have such situation in Nokia 3210. "Lost" Menu 10
-is reserved for SIM application toolkit and you will see it, when you will have access to them
-(when your SIM card will have this feature built in - you CAN'T activate it different way).
-
-
-
-After activation you gain access to the new position (called "Net monitor"
-or "Field Test") in main phone menu.
-
-
-
-
-When you enter this menu, you can type number of the test, which should be displayed
-(1 to 19 in limited version, higher numbers in full version - Caution! Entering
-number 241 removes NetMonitor menu and
-242 switches it to the limited version youll have to use one of the
-methods described in How to activate it ? to regain access to the full version !).
-Before number of test you can add "+". Unfortunately, in Nokia 6210/7110 there
-is one wrong thing here: before entering number of new test you must delete old number
-using right function key (in other models you can enter it without it).
-
-
-After pressing OK the chosen test appears on screen (and its number is shown on the top) in place of your network
-name/operator logo (BTW: in some phones (like Nokia 3310), when you will enable clock, alarm clock, stopwatch, countdown timer, second line (ALS function),
-test in netmonitor and lock keypad, time will disappear :-)). If you enter incorrect test number, NO TEST appears on screen and the phone returns to the last
-correctly displayed test. If entered number is greater than 256, 512 or 768, then 256 (or its multiple) is subtracted and
-resulting menu number is displayed (for example numbers 300 and 556 run test 44). Some test when accessed this way
-(by typing its number and pressing OK to enter them directly) modify its contents (details are described later, I call this
-"DIRECT" menu access - for example, see test 18).
-
-
-You can look at different tests by scrolling them using up/down arrows (dont worry this method doesnt change
-any settings in tests) each key press moves you to the next/previous available test. In some models
-(for example in 5110) these keys have different functions (like displaying last dialed numbers, opening
-and scrolling phonebook or changing the volume) unfortunately they dont work while NetMonitor is on screen:-(.
-However, you can still adjust volume during a call in Nokia 5xxx/3210/3310/6188/6185/6160/6120 by pressing and holding
-(longer than normally - about a second) one of the arrow keys.
-
-
-Help (description) to the current test can be displayed by pressing and holding * key
-(repeat this to return to test values). However, this shortcut works only in some phones
-(my explanation to this fact can be found in
-Description of the individual tests). That's why I've added these help
-screens using a bold font in most of the tests... If they are currently displayed,
-entering menu directly doesn't change its settings.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-You can return to the main screen with name/logo of your network by entering 0 in this menu.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
If you enter 0 as a test number and then add a number of a non-existing test
-(for example 52), your phone will act as when NetMonitor is active (for example up/down arrows
-can be used to change test number you can check this in Menu 10). Unfortunately, in this case counters
-from test 82 dont work. Tests chosen this way appear right
-after switching the phone on. You can use this feature to:
-
-
-
temporarily "damage" your phone (to cheat your friend?)
-
block access to your phonebook (Nokia 5xxx and 6xxx)
-
prevent viewing your last dialed numbers list on the main screen with network logo/name (Nokia 5xxx)
-
make it difficult to change volume during a call (Nokia 5xxx) the arrow keys must be pressed and hold longer than normally
-
make it impossible to change volume (Nokia 3110)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
With any test on screen (in phones other than Nokia 3110),
-your phone doesnt display some of the messages (for example. "...calling")
-and there is no calling party identification recognition (the only exception to the rule is a message:
-'Note: you have active diverts'). When you type a phone number the test screen disappears
-(it will come back after you get connected or when you cancel this number from your display).
-
-
Remember: your phone is like computer. If you won't disable it and enable
-(only then it saves all values in EEPROM),
-it can lost values from tests (for example, info about number of sent/received SMS from
-test 64, when you will use tips above...
-
-
There is one firmware bug connected with using helps (descriptions) to the tests
-(in this moment, it's confirmed for Nokia 5110, 3210, 3310).
-If you want to see it:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Press and keep * key. In a moment, when * desappear from the screen
-(but before moment, when test values will be replaced with help or help with test values),
-let * key.
-
Now you must do everything fast - * can't be written on the screen and
-text below NaviKey can't change: instantly press * for a moment and let it.
-You can repeat this point - effects will depend on repeat numbers. For example,
-with firmware 5.07 (or 5.11)
-and 0 repeats you will have access to first "hidden menu", with 1 repeat
-you phone hangs and turn off (see test 36
-- it can be interesting), with 2 repeats it changes language ;-)), with 3
-you can enter to another "hidden menu", sometimes (I don't know exactly, when)
-you can see "CONTACT SERVICE" message (restart you phone and everything will
-be OK). With firmware 5.24 result are different:
-with 0 repeats you can enter second "hidden menu", with 1 or 2 repeats
-desappear NaviKey description, with 3 its description changes to "Send".
-
-
wait longer moment
-
press for a moment and let one of the keys: *, 0 to 9 or #
-
-
-
-
-
-You can restart your Nokia 5110, if it has older firmware (it doesn't work with 5.24,
-but with 5.07 and 5.11 works):
-
-
-
-
Press and keep * key. In a moment, when * desappear from the screen
-(but before moment, when test values will be replaced with help or help with test values),
-let * key.
-
-
Now you must do everything fast - * can't be written on the screen and
-text below NaviKey can't change: instantly press * for a moment and let it, instantly press
-* for longer time (2 sec. or longer) and let, instantly press * for a moment and let it
-
-
-
The reason of it is stack overflow (see test 35
-and test 57). If it doesn't work with your phone
-and you have Nokia 6110, you can also use another trick to reboot phone:
-
-
-
Go to the Calendar (Menu-8)
-
Make a note or reminder.
-
Enter some text into the edit box.
-
Hold "Clear" until the whole text is cleared, then press "Back".
-
Press "0". The main screen will now be showing but a space appears on the screen. (you can't see it)
-
Enter 4 digits (e.g. 1234).
-
Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side of the numbers and the space (Down arrow twice).
-
Now enter 6 digits and press the call button.
-
-
-
TDMA 800/TDMA 1900 phones:
-
-
After activation you gain access to the new position (called "Field Test") in main phone menu.
-
-
When you enter this menu, you can type number of the test, which should be displayed (1-7 in
-Nokia 6160) or enter 0 to disable it.
-
-
You can look at different tests by scrolling them using up/down arrows. During voice calls, depending on how
-NetMonitor was entered, the arrow keys may switch tests (you can't change volume then) or adjust volume.
-
-
If the keypad is locked while a NetMonitor tests are active, pressing
-0-9, *, or # will toggle the screen back to the User Interface Display.
-Pressing Talk, End, the arrow keys, or the soft menu keys will return the test.
-
-
In Nokia 2120 or 2160 you can also display description (help) to displayed
-tests by pressing and holding "ABC" key.
-
-
-
Probably only during NetMonitor activation
-(especially in phones with NAM programming menu) or in Nokia 6210 or 3210
-(more in description for test 17).
-
-
Ive never heard of such accident
-(my own strange and hard attempts :-) failed, too) during using it in different phones.
-But of course you should be careful - netmonitor is "unofficial" part of
-phone's firmware.
-
-
If something doesn't work correctly, switch the phone off and then back on
-- all tests, you can set (excluding test 17),
-should be set to their default values...
-
-
-
Id like to write, that Im not professionally connected with any

Each program described in previous point allows you to activate one of two NetMonitor versions:

+
limited, including tests from 1 to 19 (concerning cellular network only). This version is usually called
+"Field Test" or "Operator field tests" (or you have to enter 242 code to activate it)

+
+I recommend you enable full version of NetMonitor you can always replace it with a limited version
+(by choosing test 242 in your phone). It doesnt work in reverse direction (you cannot activate full menu from
+within the phone it doesnt accept test 243 when limited version is active; of course you can still use
+methods described in previous point).
+
The method of re-programming EEPROM memory is connected with opening the casing and making modifications in your
+phone (which leaves many traces, scratches etc. and voids warranty).
+
+
However, these problems dont appear (you don't have to be affraid) when using one of the described programs
+or code (but I can be wrong . there are opinions that this method leaves a trace in phone.s memory, too)...
+
+
Of course, before getting phone to service, is better to
+deactivate NetMonitor.
+Sometimes, for example, when phone's energy system is damaged, it could be impossible -
+you can have some problems then (some of people working in service can think, that
+you broke warranty - it depends on concrete people)..

7. NetMonitor menu in my phone has different number than 10. Is it normal ?
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Of course, Number of NetMonitor menu (called "Net monitor" or "Field Test")
+is different (depends on firmware version and phone series) in different Nokia phones.
+
+
It can be:
+Menu 7 (Nokia 3110 and 9110), Menu 10 (Nokia 5110, 5130, 6110, 6130),
+Menu 11 (Nokia 5190 and 3210) or Menu 12 (Nokia 8210 or some 6150).
+Nokia 3210 also has a completely different icon for this menu, 6250 doesn't have any icon. So, it's normal and don't be affraid.
+
+
There is also interesting thing connected with it: in Nokia 8210 icon of phone
+in netmonitor's menu is DIFFERENT from icons of phones in other menus in this model, but
+THE SAME to icon in Nokia 8250...
+
+
8. NetMonitor menu in my phone has 11 number, hovewer previous position has 9 number. Is it normal ?
+
+
+
+
+
+YES - It's normal. We have such situation in Nokia 3210. "Lost" Menu 10
+is reserved for SIM application toolkit and you will see it, when you will have access to them
+(when your SIM card will have this feature built in - you CAN'T activate it different way).
+
+
+
+After activation you gain access to the new position (called "Net monitor"
+or "Field Test") in main phone menu.
+
+
+
+
+When you enter this menu, you can type number of the test, which should be displayed
+(1 to 19 in limited version, higher numbers in full version - Caution! Entering
+number 241 removes NetMonitor menu and
+242 switches it to the limited version youll have to use one of the
+methods described in How to activate it ? to regain access to the full version !).
+Before number of test you can add "+". Unfortunately, in Nokia 6210/7110 there
+is one wrong thing here: before entering number of new test you must delete old number
+using right function key (in other models you can enter it without it).
+
+
+After pressing OK the chosen test appears on screen (and its number is shown on the top) in place of your network
+name/operator logo (BTW: in some phones (like Nokia 3310), when you will enable clock, alarm clock, stopwatch, countdown timer, second line (ALS function),
+test in netmonitor and lock keypad, time will disappear :-)). If you enter incorrect test number, NO TEST appears on screen and the phone returns to the last
+correctly displayed test. If entered number is greater than 256, 512 or 768, then 256 (or its multiple) is subtracted and
+resulting menu number is displayed (for example numbers 300 and 556 run test 44). Some test when accessed this way
+(by typing its number and pressing OK to enter them directly) modify its contents (details are described later, I call this
+"DIRECT" menu access - for example, see test 18).
+
+
+You can look at different tests by scrolling them using up/down arrows (dont worry this method doesnt change
+any settings in tests) each key press moves you to the next/previous available test. In some models
+(for example in 5110) these keys have different functions (like displaying last dialed numbers, opening
+and scrolling phonebook or changing the volume) unfortunately they dont work while NetMonitor is on screen:-(.
+However, you can still adjust volume during a call in Nokia 5xxx/3210/3310/6188/6185/6160/6120 by pressing and holding
+(longer than normally - about a second) one of the arrow keys.
+
+
+Help (description) to the current test can be displayed by pressing and holding * key
+(repeat this to return to test values). However, this shortcut works only in some phones
+(my explanation to this fact can be found in
+Description of the individual tests). That's why I've added these help
+screens using a bold font in most of the tests... If they are currently displayed,
+entering menu directly doesn't change its settings.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+You can return to the main screen with name/logo of your network by entering 0 in this menu.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
If you enter 0 as a test number and then add a number of a non-existing test
+(for example 52), your phone will act as when NetMonitor is active (for example up/down arrows
+can be used to change test number you can check this in Menu 10). Unfortunately, in this case counters
+from test 82 dont work. Tests chosen this way appear right
+after switching the phone on. You can use this feature to:
+
+
+
temporarily "damage" your phone (to cheat your friend?)
+
block access to your phonebook (Nokia 5xxx and 6xxx)
+
prevent viewing your last dialed numbers list on the main screen with network logo/name (Nokia 5xxx)
+
make it difficult to change volume during a call (Nokia 5xxx) the arrow keys must be pressed and hold longer than normally
+
make it impossible to change volume (Nokia 3110)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
With any test on screen (in phones other than Nokia 3110),
+your phone doesnt display some of the messages (for example. "...calling")
+and there is no calling party identification recognition (the only exception to the rule is a message:
+'Note: you have active diverts'). When you type a phone number the test screen disappears
+(it will come back after you get connected or when you cancel this number from your display).
+
+
Remember: your phone is like computer. If you won't disable it and enable
+(only then it saves all values in EEPROM),
+it can lost values from tests (for example, info about number of sent/received SMS from
+test 64, when you will use tips above...
+
+
There is one firmware bug connected with using helps (descriptions) to the tests
+(in this moment, it's confirmed for Nokia 5110, 3210, 3310).
+If you want to see it:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Press and keep * key. In a moment, when * desappear from the screen
+(but before moment, when test values will be replaced with help or help with test values),
+let * key.
+
Now you must do everything fast - * can't be written on the screen and
+text below NaviKey can't change: instantly press * for a moment and let it.
+You can repeat this point - effects will depend on repeat numbers. For example,
+with firmware 5.07 (or 5.11)
+and 0 repeats you will have access to first "hidden menu", with 1 repeat
+you phone hangs and turn off (see test 36
+- it can be interesting), with 2 repeats it changes language ;-)), with 3
+you can enter to another "hidden menu", sometimes (I don't know exactly, when)
+you can see "CONTACT SERVICE" message (restart you phone and everything will
+be OK). With firmware 5.24 result are different:
+with 0 repeats you can enter second "hidden menu", with 1 or 2 repeats
+desappear NaviKey description, with 3 its description changes to "Send".
+
+
wait longer moment
+
press for a moment and let one of the keys: *, 0 to 9 or #
+
+
+
+
+
+You can restart your Nokia 5110, if it has older firmware (it doesn't work with 5.24,
+but with 5.07 and 5.11 works):
+
+
+
+
Press and keep * key. In a moment, when * desappear from the screen
+(but before moment, when test values will be replaced with help or help with test values),
+let * key.
+
+
Now you must do everything fast - * can't be written on the screen and
+text below NaviKey can't change: instantly press * for a moment and let it, instantly press
+* for longer time (2 sec. or longer) and let, instantly press * for a moment and let it
+
+
+
The reason of it is stack overflow (see test 35
+and test 57). If it doesn't work with your phone
+and you have Nokia 6110, you can also use another trick to reboot phone:
+
+
+
Go to the Calendar (Menu-8)
+
Make a note or reminder.
+
Enter some text into the edit box.
+
Hold "Clear" until the whole text is cleared, then press "Back".
+
Press "0". The main screen will now be showing but a space appears on the screen. (you can't see it)
+
Enter 4 digits (e.g. 1234).
+
Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side of the numbers and the space (Down arrow twice).
+
Now enter 6 digits and press the call button.
+
+
+
TDMA 800/TDMA 1900 phones:
+
+
After activation you gain access to the new position (called "Field Test") in main phone menu.
+
+
When you enter this menu, you can type number of the test, which should be displayed (1-7 in
+Nokia 6160) or enter 0 to disable it.
+
+
You can look at different tests by scrolling them using up/down arrows. During voice calls, depending on how
+NetMonitor was entered, the arrow keys may switch tests (you can't change volume then) or adjust volume.
+
+
If the keypad is locked while a NetMonitor tests are active, pressing
+0-9, *, or # will toggle the screen back to the User Interface Display.
+Pressing Talk, End, the arrow keys, or the soft menu keys will return the test.
+
+
In Nokia 2120 or 2160 you can also display description (help) to displayed
+tests by pressing and holding "ABC" key.
+
+
+
Probably only during NetMonitor activation
+(especially in phones with NAM programming menu) or in Nokia 6210 or 3210
+(more in description for test 17).
+
+
Ive never heard of such accident
+(my own strange and hard attempts :-) failed, too) during using it in different phones.
+But of course you should be careful - netmonitor is "unofficial" part of
+phone's firmware.
+
+
If something doesn't work correctly, switch the phone off and then back on
+- all tests, you can set (excluding test 17),
+should be set to their default values...
