2.b IMEI label

IMEI label stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. The IMEI label is stuck on the rear case of the
terminal. It is held in the logic circuitry of the main board itself. If the main board is changed then IMEI will
change.

Date Code is made of 3 digits and indicates the date of shipment from factory.
For example: in I11, I stands for 1999 and 11 for November (12 for december).

Bar code indicates 15 digits 123456 45 456789 4 ( for example) of the IMEI written in plain letters above the

bar code:

- 123456 : The 6 first digits indicate the Type Approval Code. It is different according the type of mobile.

- 45 : These 2 digits are allocated to production site.

- 456789 : The 6 last digits are a sequential number, it is different for each mobile.

- 4 : Check digit.

2.c ART Label

The Label Art Plate identifies the type of assembly and test the mobile has been through.

XXXXXXXXXX : 10 characters for the article code of the terminal.
A : 1 character for the assembly version of M/U.
C : 1 character for the board version.
WW : 2 characters related to production site.

2.d SIM Latching

SIM Lock consists in restricting the use of the terminal to a family of SIM cards. For the SIM Lock, three
principal informations are used. These informations are read from data fields in the SIM card.

1°) IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), 15 Digits :
Example of IMSI : 208 01 55 12312312
208 = MCC = Mobile Country Code (ex : 208 for France)
01 = MNC = Network Country Code (ex : 01 for FT)
55 = NS = Network Subset
12312312 = Indifferent serial number

2°) Group IDentifier 1 (GID1):
This data field can contain digits or letters which identify a family of SIM
Ex : XX for a type for of prepaid SIM card of Service provider Y

3°) Group IDentifier 2 (GID2) :
same as GID1 to identify a sub family of SIM.

Then, from this information, we have 5 types of latch :

1°) Network Level :
latch on MCC MNC of IMSI of the SIM only
(ex : only the cards 208 01 be able to operate the mobile.
Mitsubishi uses to call this latch NCK (NCK stands for “ Network Control Keys” and is the password to lock
the mobile at the network level)

2°) Network Subset Level :
Latch on MCC, MNC and digit 6 and 7 of the IMSI
Ex : latch on 208 01 55, only the SIM cards with an IMSI starting with 208 01 55 will operate the mobile.
Mitsubishi uses to call this latch NSCK (Network Subset Control Key)

3°) Service provider level :
latch on Network (value of MCC MNC) and value of GID1 data field.
Ex : latch on the value “XX” in GID1 and MCC MNC=208 01, only the SIM cards of service provider Y with
XX stored in data field GID1 will operate the mobile.
Mitsubishi uses to call this latch SPCK (Service Provider Control Key)

4°) Corporate Provider Level :
latch on network (value of MCC and MNC) and a value stored in GID2
Mitsubishi uses to call this latch CPCK (Corporate Provider Control Key)

5°) IMSI level
latch on the complete IMSI of one SIM card.
Only one SIM card corresponding to the correct IMSI operates the mobile. Usually, this latch is done in an
automatic way (the first SIM card inserted in the mobile is the only SIM which can be usesd by this mobile).

General information :
To lock /unlock a mobile, you need 8 digits password for each level concerned, and each mobile (one set of
passwords for one IMEI). These passwords are calculated with a special algorithm. You have only 10 attempts
to unlock correctly a mobile. After 10 unsuccessful attempts, the mobile is permanently blocked.
To enter the unlock procedure, you need to access special menus with specific access codes.

4 TEST AND MEASUREMENTS

4.a Charging measurements

To check the charging, we uses a modified AC/DC and an ampermeter connected as follow :

Mobile with

empty battery

without SIM

When you plug the charger into the wall socket, the charging current is displayed by ampermeter
The charging indicator scroll on the LCD and the red top led lights up.

During pre-charge, the value of the curent is 84 mA (measurment without backlight)
During rapid charge, the value of the current is 610 mA (measurment without backlight)

For more details about charging, see the LEVEL 3 SERVICE MANUAL FA9M037910 at page 5.

4.b E-GSM / DCS measurements

4.b.1 Transmitter Power and Ramp profile

These two are interrelated, since the power ramp shape and its final peak value is stored in EEPROM as
adjustment values.

The peak power output must lie within 3 dB of specification and be flat to within 0.5 dB over the active period.
The ramp profile is designed to give minimum harmonics, and hence it is important to ensure it is adhered to.

Power ramp profile must be checked on all frequencies (in practice channels 975, 37 and 124 for the 900 MHz
band and channels 512, 698 and 885 for the 1800 MHz band). In conclusion, the ramp must fit the mask at all
frequencies and all power levels. The mask is usually stored in the radiocommunication tester. The test will
also be available to cover the frequency and power range automatically.

4.b.2 Phase / Frequency / Time relationship

This is a test of the quality of the modulation including the IQ balance and the Gaussian filters. The phase of
the carrier changes according to the arrival of 1s and 0s. Phase error must not be more than 20° peak and 5°
RMS.

4.b.3 Receiver Bit Error Rate (RX sensitivity)

The specification is a Bit Error Rate (BER) of better than 2.44% for an input signal : -102 dBm for the E-GSM
900 band, and –100 dBm for the DCS 1800 band. There should be no error for -90 dBm to -20 dBm input
signal. The maximum workable error rate is 13%.
It is important that BER and RX sensitivity is good since measures of RXLEV (from -103 to -41 dBm) and
RXQUAL (from 0 to 7) are reported back to the base station on the SACCH to assist in handovers and power
level control. Errors in reporting will lead to sub optimum uses of channel space, or interference to others.

4.b.4 Handover between E-GSM 900 AND DCS 1800 standards

The M4 dual band may handover from the E-GSM 900 band to the DCS 1800 band automatically. If the
subscribed network has frequencies in both bands, the M4 dual band will work either in 900 MHz or 1800 MHz
band depending on the availability of frequencies.
