SECTION 3
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Setup
The software programming setup requires a PC (386 type or higher), the Level Shifter (LS-1), Connection Cable
to the PC and the Level Shifter extension.
•Connect the RS 232 cable from the Level Shifter to the com-port of the PC (com 1 or com 2).
•Connect the Level Shifter extension between CMD-C1 and the Level Shifter.
•Connect the power supply to the Level Shifter.
No specific software installation is needed; only copy all the files to the PC.
2. Important notes
•Before connecting the CMD−C1 to the Level Shifter, take out the battery of the CMD−C1; the CMD−C1
must be powered from the Level Shifter with the GSM-switch. All other switches are always in the
ON-position.
•The initial settings of the flash.exe program may not correspond with the normal correct settings. It is
highly advisable to check the settings first (see below).

3. Software setup
∗ Loading new software into the flash.
•Start the program flash.exe by double-clicking on its icon in the explorer.
•Select “File”/“Settings...” and check if the settings for the “Com Port”, the “Baud Rate” and the “Erase Mode”
are correct. Normally the “Load Options” do not have to be changed. The default values are :
Com Port: COM 1
Baud Rate: 115200
Load Options: Both
Erase Mode: Program Area, Smart Erase (!disable melody
area erase for normal software update)
After changing the settings, the new values are stored in the file “flash.ini” in the windows directory.
•Select “File”/“Open...” to select an S record file for downloading. The C1.SRE file contains the software for
C1. Any other .SRE file is either only needed for the program itself, or can be a melody file (see below).
•Press the “LOAD” button of the program.
•Power-on the mobile.
•Now the program runs automatically.
NOTE
– Please note that the CMD-C1 makes it possible to load only the different ringer melodies without
changing the rest of the software programs.
– For this procedure it is necessary to change the settings on the flash-loader for “EraseMode” to
MELODY AREA instead of PROGRAM AREA, then load the new file c1melody.sre.
– Remember to change the flash-loader settings back to PROGRAM AREA.
– ! Whenever performing software update or melody software update, please remember that the erase
settings (in the settings menu) should be correctly set.
