7720P PROGRAMMING TOOL JUMPER SETTING
FOR THE 7845GSM/IGSM
7720P programming tool’s manufactured before January of 1999 will not work on our new
GSM communication module due to a jumper setting in the device. The symptom to expect is no
power to the 7720P programming tool. The screen will be blank. There is no other symptom for
this particular problem. The Internal jumper will have to be moved before the unit will work on
a GSM radio.
A new version 7720P programming tool (made after January 1999) would have the same
symptoms as well if…
You don’t have enough power to support both the GSM module and 7720P programming tool
•Make sure your GSM module has transformer (9VAC 15VA) and backup
battery power (6V 3.1 AH).
Faulty four pin cord
•Make sure your cord is plugged in all the way.
•Try unplugging your tool and plugging it back in.
•Leave your tool plugged in and try powering the GSM module down and then
back up.
•Try reversing your programming cord.
Maybe the internal software of the programming tool is bad
•If all of the above checks do not correct the problem your 7720P programming
tool may have an internal problem and you will need to try a second tool at this
point.

IF YOU HAVE DETERMINED AT THIS POINT THAT THE PROGRAMMING
TOOL DOES NOT HAVE ANY OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
CHECKING THE DATE CODE ON YOUR PROGRAMMING TOOL
Open the programming tool by removing the screw under the door on the face of the tool

Push back the two tabs holding the circuit board in place and carefully remove the
circuit board (the circuit board will not fully detach because of the ribbon cable).

Under the 7720P programmer chip (which should read WA7720P) you will see a date
code containing a letter and three digits

Example: B001
The letter represents the year (in this case 1999) and the digits represent the day of the
year (in this case the 1st of January).
If your tool has a date code of B001 or earlier this programming tool should have a
jumper in it which is set to 12V. You will need to follow the instructions for
“SWITCHING YOUR JUMPER” to make your programming tool compatible with our
new GSM module.
**All 7720P Programming tools manufactured prior to the year 1979 have a Y
indicating the year. Units manufactured since 1979 to present day the year is indicated
by a letter with the following pattern:
A = 1979 B = 1980 C = 1981 D = 1982
E = 1983 F = 1984 G = 1985 H = 1986
I = OMITTED J = 1987 K = 1988 L = 1989
M = 1990 N = 1991 O = OMITTED P = OMITTED
Q = OMITTED R = 1992 S = 1993 T = 1994
U = OMITTED V = OMITTED W = OMITTED X = 1995
Y = 1996 Z = 1997 A = 1998 B = 1999
C = 2000 D = 2001 E = 2002 F = 2003
G = 2004 H = 2005 I = OMITTED J = 2006
K = 2007 L = 2008 M = 2009 N = 2010
O = OMITTED P = OMITTED Q = OMITTED R = 2011
S = 2012 T = 2013 U = OMITTED V = OMITTED
W = OMITTED X = 2014 Y = 2015 Z = 2016
Example: the date code K126 would mean year 1988, the 126th day, or May
5, 1988.

SWITCHING YOUR JUMPER
Follow the previous instructions for taking apart your 7720P programming tool
With a pair of needle nose pliers pull the jumper out from the 12V position and insert it
into the 6V position. You will see a small 6V and 12V written on the circuit board. 6v
would be the center and bottom hole if facing the programming tool.
**NOTE – A NEW 7720p PROGRAMMING TOOL DOES NOT HAVE A JUMPER
WHICH MEANS IT WILL WORK ON THE 6V OR 12V SETTING MANUALLY
DEPENDING ON WHAT DEVICE YOU ARE PLUGGED INTO.
