How to Bypass or Manually Program the HTC Merge Verizon ADR6325

• With the slide closed, select Emergency
• From the dialer screen, enter # # 7 7 6 4 7 2 6 and then hit Call
• Service Code: ____ will appear, tap in the box to bring up the virtual keyboard and enter the 6 digit code (Default is 000000) and then hit OK
• Select NAM General
• Select the box to edit the phone number (MDN=mobile dialing number)
• Enter the 10 digit phone number by erasing any existing information with the delete key, then hit the 12# to change the display to numbers

• Select NAM CDMA Settings
• Select MIN1
• Hit the box again, use the delete key to erase any existing info, hit the 12# to change to numbers again and enter the last 7 digits of your MIN (Mobile Identifying Number) then hit OK
• If the MIN isn't known or not on your receipt, then call your carrier for that info.
• Select MIN2
• Enter the Area Code for the MIN using the previous methods of selecting #12 to switch the keyboard to numbers.
• Scroll down to Home SID/NID #1
• You should get a pop up with Modify Home SID/NID #1
