Example 1: How to change Country from U.S.A. (369) to Brazil (710) - Serial
User with the same 24-bit address 403C41 (Short message):
Sample hex code for U.S.A.: 5716E8078820166B65FCD0
571 = U.S.A. country code in hex format
B65FCD = bits 85 to 108. When country code is changed, this 6-digit hex must also be adjusted
to make sure that Encoded BCH1 and Calculated BCH1 are ALWAYS identical.
Our goal is to convert the above hex code to Brazil, Serial User with 24-bit address 403C41.
Step 1:
To change to your desired country, replace 571 with your desired country code from TABLE 1
on page 4, under Country Code in Hex format (Serial User).
For example: 4CD for Belgium, 4E4 for France, 571 for U.S.A.
If your desired country is not included in the table, you have to convert your desired country
code to hex format yourself.
Step a: Convert your desired country code (in this example 710) from decimal format to
binary format:
Use the included conversion tool 451 OM-TS-451 Decimal and Binary Conversion
Tool.mht or go to http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~gurwitz/core5/nav2tool.html
(Internet browser is required) to convert your desired country code (in decimal format) to
binary format
NOTE: You must click on Try it again! button before every new conversion.
Below are step-by-step instructions on how to convert your desired country code from
decimal format to binary format:
11
Enter your desired

country code in
decimal format here
Your desired country

code in binary format
will appear here
Click on this button to

convert your desired
country code from decimal
format to binary format
Step b: Convert your desired country code from binary format to hex format
A country code in binary format must always be 12 digits long (xxxx xxxx xxxx).
Our current country code in binary format is: xx10 1100 0110
For [Short Message, User Protocol] the first 2 digits are always 01
Our current country code in binary format will be 0110 1100 0110
NOTE: Any other blank digits after the first 2 digits will be 0
Example: Belgium (205) xxxx 1100 1101 0100 1100 1101 4CD
Using TABLE 3: Hexadecimal to Binary conversion table on page 7 to convert the
above binary code to hex format. We have: 6C6
Step 2:
Replace 571 with 6C6
12
Step 3:
Input the 22-digit hex code into the 406 MHz Decode Program provided. See below:
As we can see, the country code is now correct (710), but Encoded BCH1 and Calculated BCH1
are not yet identical. We must fix this.
Step 4:
To fix Encoded BCH1 and Calculated BCH1, use the below template:
1
100000100111001000001
01
Replace these digits with

Calculated BCH1 (bits N/A)
13
Step 5:
To convert the above template to hex format, there are 2 ways:
1. Manually using TABLE 3: Hexadecimal to Binary conversion table on page 7.
1011 0100 0101 0001 0011 1001 = B45139
2. Automatically using Calculator program in Windows to convert the binary code to hex format.
To use Calculator to convert follow these steps:
Step a: Open the Calculator. Then go to View -> Scientific
Step b: Paste the template to the calculator in Binary mode
14
Step c: Click on Hex to convert the binary code to hex
Step d: Copy the hex code
15
Step 6:
Replace B65FCD with B45139 in the 22-digit hex code. We should get the following:
Since the values of Encoded BCH1 and Calculated BCH1 are exactly the same, the above 22digit hex is valid.
Step 7:
To program the ELT, we enter:
06 -22 6C66E8078820166B451390
Note: 06 = write ID command
-22 = length of ID
16
Example 2: How to change Country from U.S.A. (369) to Brazil (710) - Serial
User with the same Serial Number 392 (Short message):
Sample hex code for U.S.A.: 571620031000166BECF050
BECF05 = bits 85 to 108. When country code is changed, this 6-digit hex must also be adjusted
