Level 1 and 2 Service ManualProduct Overview
Product Overview
Motorola V3x telephones deliver 3G features in a small and lightweight package.
These Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) General Packet Radio
Service (GPRS) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)-enabled mobile phones
incorporate an icon based User Interface (UI) for easier operation, allows Short
Message Service (SMS) text messaging, Multi-media Messaging Services (MMS),
and includes Personal Information Manager (PIM) functionality. V3x is a tri-band
phones that allow roaming within the GSM 900 MHz, 1800 MHz Digital Cellular
System (DCS), and PCS 1900 MHz bands, in addition to the UMTS WCDMA 2100
MHz band.
V3x telephones have a clam form factor. They feature an externally viewable 96 x
80 65K color STN CLI display for caller identification with date/time, and an
internal 320 x 240 262K TFT color display located in the flip. The bottom part of
the clam (front housing) contains the keypad, transceiver printed circuit board
(PCB), microphone, flex connection, external accessory connector, smart button,
volume buttons, and voice button. The standard 840 mAh Lithium Ion (Li Ion)
battery fits behind a removable back cover and provides up to 220 minutes of talk
time and 200 hours of standby time in GSM mode. The battery provides up to 131
minutes of talk time, and up to 227 hours of standby time in WCDMA mode.
Features
The phone accepts 3V Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards that fit into the SIM
holder under the battery. The antenna is a fixed stub type antenna. Inexpensive
direct connection to a computer or handheld device through USB for data and fax
calls, and for synchronizing phonebook entries with Motorola mobile Phone Tools™
software, can be accomplished using the optional data cable and soft modem.
V3x telephones use advanced, self-contained, sealed, custom integrated circuits to
perform the complex functions required for WCDMA communication. Aside from
the space and weight advantage, microcircuits enhance basic reliability, simplify
maintenance, and provide a wide variety of operational functions.
Other features available in this family of telephones include:
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 using the mobile
network.
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.
SIM Application ToolkitTM - Class 2
SIM Application Toolkit is a value-added service software product that allows GSM
operators to customize the services they offer their customers, from the occasional
user who requests sports news and traffic alerts, to a high call time business user
who receives stock alerts and checks flight times. Operators can now create their
own value-added services menu quickly and easily in the phone. The customized
menu will appear as the first menu and may be updated over-the-air with new
services when customers request them.

Level 1 and 2 Service ManualProduct Overview
Simplified Text Entry
There are three different ways to enter text using the phone keypad:
• iTAP predictive text entry. Press a key to enter 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 enter a character.
• Numeric. The keypad produces numeric characters only. For some text areas,
such as phone numbers, this is the only method available.
Caller Line Identification
Upon receipt of a call, the calling party’s phone number is compared to the
phonebook. 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. If no
caller identification information is available, the Incoming Call message is
displayed.
The user must subscribe to a caller line identification service through their service
➧
provider.
Other Features
Detailed descriptions of these and the other features can be found in the appropriate
user’s guide listed in the “Related Publications” section toward the end of this
manual.

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and Identification V3x
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and Identification
SIM Card
A SIM 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 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
network
Personality Transfer
A personality transfer is required when a phone is express exchanged or when the
main board is replaced. Personality transfers reproduce the customer's personalized
details such as menu, and stored memory, such as phonebooks, or program the
customer’s phone with basic user information such as language selection. V3x
telephones use mobile PhoneTools® synchronization software to effect a personality
transfer.
Identification
Each Motorola GSM phone is labeled with a several identifying numbers. The
following section 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 its life.
The MSN can be used to log and track a phone on Motorola's Service Center
Database.
The MSN is divided into 4 sections as shown in Figure 26.

International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI)
The International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is an
individual number unique to the PCB and stored within the phone's memory.
The IMEI uniquely identifies an individual mobile station provides a way to control
access to GSM networks based on mobile station types or individual phones. The
full IMEI structure is listed in Table 2.

Other label number configurations present are:
• TRANSCEIVER NUMBER: Identifies the product type, usually the SWF
number. (for example, V100).
• PACKAGE NUMBER: Identifies the equipment type, mode, and language in
which the product is shipped.
