1. INTRODUCTION
Each Motorola DCS StarTAC transceiver will be labelled
with various number configurations. The following
information shows and explains the common labelling titles.
2. TITLE EXPLANATIONS
2.1 MSN
The Mechanical Serial Number (MSN) is an individual
number, uniquely identifying the unit. The MSN will remain
the same throughout the units life, even if the main board is
replaced. Because the MSN is unique to the whole phone, it
is often used for logging and tracking purposes by Motorola
National Service Centres on EPPRS. The MSN is divided
into the sections shown in Figure1.
2.2 CEPT DCS
This is the International Mobile Station Equipment Identity
(IMEI) number. The IMEI is held in the logic circuitry.

If the main board is replaced then the units IMEI will change,
therefore the units labelling should be updated with the new
IMEI. An IMEI uniquely identifies a mobile station
equipment to the system, and is divided into the sections
shown in Figure 2.
2.3 REV S/H
This configuration consists of two blocks of two digits, and
denotes the software and hardware versions within the unit.
The first two digits correspond to the software version, and
the last two digits correspond to the hardware version. If a
version update is carried out on the unit, the corresponding
change information should be made apparent on the
labelling.
2.4 MODEL
The model number defines the type of product. Each product
type is issued a common model number.
2.5 PACKAGE
The package number is used to determine the type of
equipment, the mode in which it was sold, and the language
with which it was shipped.
