Product OverviewPr oduct Family C25 and C43
Product Overview
Motorola PF C25 and PF C43 mobile telephones feature global system for mobile
communications (GSM) air interface, and wireless application protocol (WAP)
Internet browser (PFC25 only). The PF C25 and PF C43 telephones incorporate a
new user interface (UI) for easier operation, allows short message service (SMS)
text messaging, and includes personal information manager (PIM) functionality. It
is a dual-band phone that allows roaming within the GSM 900 MHz and digital
cellular system (DCS) 1800 MHz bands. PF C25 telephones support SMS in addition
to traditional circuit switched transport technologies.
PF C25 and PF C43 telephones are made of a polycarbonate plastic. The display
and speaker, as well as the keypad, transceiver printed circuit board (PCB),
microphone, external accessory connector, volume buttons, power button, and voice
button, are contained within the flat form-factor housing. The phone acceptsboth
3V and 5Vmini subscriber identity module (SIM) cards which fit into the SIM holder
underneath the battery. The antenna is a fixed stub type antenna.
Features
The PF C25 and PF C43 telephones use advanced, self-contained, sealed, custom
integrated circuits to perform the complex functions required for GSM communication. Aside from the space and weight advantage, microcircuits enhance basic
reliability, simplify maintenance, and provide a wide variety of operational functions.
Features available in this family of telephones include:
• Ergonomic design for comfort and enhancement of one hand operation
• Icon Based Simplified User Interface
• Animated Screen Savers
• Lower voltage technology that provides increased standby and talk times
• Extended GSM (EGSM) channels
• Tri-coder/decoder (CODEC) that allows full rate, half rate, and enhanced full
rate modes of transmission
• Supports SMS, concatenated SMS, and cell broadcast messages
• WAP 1.1 compliant

Level 1 and 2 Service ManualProduct Overview
Speaker Dependant Voice Recognition and Voice Note Recording
This feature allows voice tags to be used for voice dialing up to 20 phone numbers
in the phone book and for creating up to 5 voice shortcuts for menu items. The phone
must be “trained” by the voice tag being read into the phone’s memory twice before
it is recognized.
Voice tags can be added to the phone’s memory using the usual name addition
methods (i.e., via the phone book menu structure or with the shortcut editor).
The user cannot place or receive calls while adding voice tags to the phone’s memory.
Because the GSM standard does not provide the option to store voice tags onto the
SIM card, voice tags are added to the phone’s memory.
Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) 1.1 Compliancy
In the WAP environment, access to the Internet is initiated in wireless markup
language (WML), which is derived from hypertext markup language (HTML). The
request is passed to a WAP gateway which retrieves the information from the server
in standard HTML (subsequently filtered to WML) or directly in WML if available.
The information is then passed to the mobile subscriber via the mobile network.
The PF C25’s microbrowser can be configured for baud, idle timeout, line type,
phone number, and connection type.
Bitmap image data will download as text. If the image is larger than the screen,
only part of the image will display.
If the user receives a call while in browser mode, the browser will pause and allow
the user to resume after completing the call.
Simplified Text Entry
There are three different ways to enter text using the phone keypad:
• iTAP™ predictive text entry. Press a key to generate a character and a
dynamic dictionary uses this to build and display a set of word or name
options. The iTAP™ feature may not be available on the phone in all languages.
• Tap. Press a key to generate a character.
• Numeric. The keypad produces numeric characters only. For some text areas
this is the only method available; for example, phone numbers.
Caller Line Identificati on
Upon receipt of a call, the calling party’s phone number is compared to the phone
book. If the number matches a phone book entry, that name will be displayed. If
there is no phone book entry, the incoming phone number will be displayed. In the

event that no caller identification information is available, the message INCOMING
CALL is displayed.
User must subscribe to a caller line identification service through their service
provider.
Call Forwarding
Call forwarding is a network feature that diverts incoming calls to another phone
number if the user or phone is unavailable, or the user does not wish to receive calls.
This option can be used to:
• Divert all incoming voice calls unconditionally
• Divert incoming voice calls whenever the phone is unavailable, busy, not reach-
able, or not answered
• Divert incoming fax calls
• Divert incoming data calls
• Allow all calls through to the phone.
Detailed operating instructions for these and the other PF C25 and PF C43 features
can be found in the appropriate PF C25 and PF C43 telephone user’s guide listed
in the “Related Publications” section toward the end of this manual.

User Interface Menu Structure
Menu Navigation
PF C25 and PF C43 telephones are equipped with a simplified user-friendly
interface that employs soft keys and a 2-way scroll key to access phone functions
and features. See Figure 1.
“Soft keys” refer to non-labeled keys that correspond to text options displayed on
the screen. The left and right soft keys perform the function shown in the corners
of the display. The left key will usually select an option whereas the right key will
usually exit a function or return to a previous screen.
The menu key opens the initial menu structure, or allows access to a submenu
whenever appears on the screen. See Figure 6 for details of the PF C25 menu
structure.

Battery Removal
Removing the battery causes the device to immediately shut down and any pending
work (for example, partially entered phone book entries or outgoing messages) is
lost.
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals.
The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

Operation
If the battery is removed while receiving a message, the message will be lost.
To ensure proper memory retention, turn the phone OFF before removing the
battery. Immediately replace the old battery with a fully charged battery.

SIM Card and Identification
SIM Card
A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is required to access the existing local
GSM network, or remote networks when traveling (if a roaming agreement has been
made with the provider).
The SIM card contains:
• All the data necessary to access GSM services
• The ability to store user information such as phone numbers.
• All information required by the network provider to provide access to the net-
work.
Identification
Each Motorola GSM device is labelled with a variety of identifying numbers. The
following information describes the current identifying labels.
Mechanical Serial Number (MSN)
The Mechanical Serial Number (MSN) is an individual unit identity number and
remains with the unit throughout the life of the unit.
The MSN can be used to log and track a unit on Motorola's Service Center Database.
The MSN is divided into 4 sections as shown in Figure 20.
