GX500 Operational Description Revision A
I. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This manual provides the information necessary to repair, calibration, description and download the features
of the GX500.
1.2 Regulatory Information
1.2.1 Security
Toll fraud, the unauthorized use of telecommunications system by an unauthorized part (for example,
persons other than your company’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or person working on your
company’s behalf) can result in substantial additional charges you’re your telecommunications services.
System users are responsible for the security of own system. There are may be risks of toll fraud associated
with your telecommunications system. System users are responsible for programming and configuring the
equipment to prevent unauthorized use. LGE does not warrant that this product is immune from the above
case but will prevent unauthorized use of common-carrier telecommunication service of facilities accessed
through or connected to it. LGE will not be responsible for any charges that result from such unauthorized
use.
1.2.2 Incidence of Harm
If a telephone company determines that the equipment provided to customer is faulty and possibly causing
harm or interruption in service to the telephone network, it should disconnect telephone service until repair
can be done. A telephone company may temporarily disconnect service as long as repair is not done.
1.2.3 Changes in Service
A local telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities or procedure. If these changes
could reasonably be expected to affect the use of the GX500 or compatibility with the network, the telephone
company is required to give advanced written notice to the user, allowing the user to take appropriate steps
to maintain telephone service.
1.2.4 Maintenance Limitations
Maintenance limitations on the GX500 must be performed only at the LGE or its authorized agents. The user
may not make any changes and/or repairs expect as specifically noted in this manual. Therefore, note that
unauthorized alternations or repair may affect the regulatory status of the system and may void any
remaining warranty.
1.2.5 Notice of Radiated Emissions
The GX500 complies with rules regarding radiation and radio frequency emission as defined by local
regulatory agencies. In accordance with these agencies, you may be required to provide information such as
the following to the end user.

1.2.6 Pictures
The pictures in this manual are for illustrative purposes only; your actual hardware may look slightly different.
1.2.7 Interference and Attenuation
An GX500 may interfere with sensitive laboratory equipment, medical equipment, etc. Interference from
unsuppressed engines or electric motors may cause problems.
1.2.8 Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
ATTENTION
Boards, which contains Electrostatic Sensitive Device(ESD), are indicated by the sign. Following information is
ESD handling: Service personnel should ground themselves by using a wrist strap when exchange system
boards.
When repairs are made to a system board, they should spread the floor with anti-static mat which is also
grounded. Use a suitable, grounded soldering iron. Keep sensitive parts in these protective packages until
these are used. When returning system boards or parts such as EEPROM to the factory, use the protective
package as described.

3. TECHNICAL BRIEF
GX500 Operational Description Revision A
Audio
Besides the telephony voice CODECs supplied by the Firmware running on the TEAKLite® DSP core, the
ARM926 core enables running high-quality audio CODECs such as MPEG-1/2 Layer-3 Decode (MP3), AAC+ or
AAC++. Audio streaming is supported according to the 3GPP PSS Release 4 standard.
The output of audio and voice codecs can be mixed and routed to the integrated Hi-Fi Stereo voiceband
supporting CD-Quality. Alternatively, the audio can also be sinked to a mono loudspeaker using the
integrated hands-free amplifier.
Video and Imaging
TM allows connecting an external camera module over an ITU-R BT656 compliant interface and a
TM also enables video down-streaming because of its DSP and ARM performances.
Supported "still pictures" multimedia scenarios are:
• View Finding for a Picture Snapshot: Captured frames are transferred from the camera IF to the display
IF at up to15 fps (depending on the camera used) in QCIF resolution (depending on the display used).
Downscaling and color conversion is done by the camera and display interface logic. Therefore, view
finding for a snapshot is possible without burdening the CPU. However, picture rotation and/or overlay are
performed by SW if required.
• Shooting: The captured picture, with up to 1.31 MPixel resolution (SXGA 1280 x 1024), is transferred
within 1/15 sec to external memory.
1) Then, JPEG compression is done by SW, while the viewfinder is
frozen so that the user can immediately see the snapshot on the display.
• Photo Flash: Under low light conditions usually a photo flash is required. To activate the flash at the right
time, a general purpose timer unit (GTPU) can be used that is triggered by the frame synchronization signal
(VSYNC) from the camera interface.
• Processing: JPEG thumbnail generation, picture overlay, picture rotation and other picture processing
tasks are performed by SW.
• Viewing: A JPEG picture is decoded, down-scaled and format converted by SW and then transferred to
the display interface. JPEG thumbnails can also be transferred directly to the display interface after
decoding by SW without additional downscaling.
• Storage: JPEG pictures can be stored on an MMC/SD card, a Flash or a PC.
• Sending/Receiving: JPEG thumbnails can be sent/received as MMS (E-GPRS). Full resolution JPEG
pictures can be sent/received as e-mail or downloaded from the internet.
Supported "video sequence" multimedia scenarios:
• Record Video Sequences: Captured frames in QCIF resolution are transferred to internal memory at 15
fps. H.263 or MPEG-4 encoding is performed on-the-fly by SW with the support of the MOVE coprocessor.
