Level 1 and 2 Service Manual Product Overview
Product Overview
Motorola’s MOTOFONE F3 mobile telephones feature global system for mobile
communications (GSM) air interface. The mobile telephone uses a simplified iconbased user interface (UI) for easy operation, allows short message service (SMS)
text messaging. The F3 is a dual band phone that allows roaming within the GSM
900MHz, and DCS 1800 MHz bands, or the GSM 850MHz, and PCS 1900MHz
bands, depending on factory programming.
F3 telephones are made of polycarbonate plastic. The display and speaker, as well
as the transceiver printed circuit board (PCB), microphone, charger/ headphone
connectors, and buttons are contained within the 9.1mm slim candy bar form-factor
housing. The 700 mAh Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery provides up to 500 minutes of
talk time with up to 300 hours of standby time
mini subscriber identity module (SIM) cards, which fit into the SIM holder under
the rear housing cover. These telephones feature an EPD (Electrophoresis display)
and an internal antenna.
Features
F3 telephones use advanced, self-contained, sealed, custom integrated circuits to
perform the complex functions required for GSM GPRS communication. Aside from
the space and weight advantage, microcircuits enhance basic reliability, simplify
maintenance, and provide a wide variety of operational functions.

. The phone accepts 3V and 1.8V
Features available in the F3 include:
• GSM dual band phone, 900/1800MHz or 850/1900MHz.
• Ultra low cost.
• Ultra thin, 9.1 mm in thickness.
• New display technology, EPD display
• Uses only one speaker for both receiver and ring-tone speaker.
