Product Overview V3m
Product Overview
Motorola V3m mobile telephones feature Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
technology. The mobile telephone uses a simplified icon and Graphical user
interface (GUI) for easier operation, allow Short Message Service (SMS) text
messaging, and include clock, alarm, datebook, calculator, and caller profiling
personal management tools. The V3m telephones include a built in camera. The
phone provides 32 Embedded ring tones including VibraCall vibrating alert and 32
Downloadable/Customizable iMelody ring tones. The V3m telephones are dual band
that allows roaming within the CDMA 800 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz bands.
The V3m CDMA phones consist of a main housing assembly and a flip assembly.
The main circuit board, battery, headset jack, and accessory connector are located
in the main housing assembly. The camera on the V3m phones is located in the
hinged flip assembly.
The flip assembly contains the entire hinge mechanism. It is attached to the main
housing by four screws. The main display is on the inside of the flip assembly and
a one line LED display on the outside of the flip assembly. The main display on the
V3m phones is a 176 x 220 pixel 65k TFT LCD. The external CLI display is a 96 x
80 pixel 65K CSTN LCD. The camera module is a 1.3 mega-pixel, VGA CMOS
camera.
Features
The main housing assembly includes a battery cover, chassis, main circuit board,
keypad plastic front housing, and internal antenna.
The main circuit board contains the Receiver, Transmitter, Synthesizer and Control
Logic Circuitry which together comprise the dual band tri-mode phone electronics.
The telephones are made of polycarbonate plastic. The display and speaker, as well
as the 18-key keypad, transceiver printed-circuit board (PCB), microphone, charger
and headphone connectors, and power button are contained within the flip formfactor housing. The 740 mAh Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery provides up to 180
minutes of talk time in CDMA mode with up to 195 hours of standby time
V3m telephones use advanced, self-contained, sealed, custom integrated circuits to
perform the complex functions required for CDMA 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:
• Built in VGA Camera (1.3 Mega-pixel)
• Video capture and playback
• 65K Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Active Color Display
• External color CLI Display
• Enhanced VST - Speaker independent calling
•Speaker Phone
• Stereo Headset support
• Class 2 Bluetooth®
• 23MB User Memory
• Micro-SD removable 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 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.
When 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 Identification
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 Incoming Call
message is displayed.
User must subscribe to a caller line identification service through their service

provider.
Other Features

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.
