Product Overview Z6
Product Overview
Motorola’s Z6 GSM wireless telephone incorporates a graphics based user interface
(UI) for easy operation, allows multimedia message service (MMS) messaging, and
includes personal information manager (PIM) functionality.
The Z6 is a quad-band phone that allows roaming within the GSM 850/900/1800/
1900 MHz bands.
Z6 telephones support GPRS and SMS in addition to traditional circuit switched
transport technologies.
Z6 telephones feature the new slider form factor. They feature a 176 x 220 1.9” 262K
color TFT display. The bottom part of the phone contains the keypad, transceiver
printed circuit board (PCB), microphone, flex connection, external accessory
connector, smart button, volume buttons, and voice button. The standard 780 mAh
Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery fits behind a removable back cover.
The phone accepts both 3V and 1.8V mini subscriber identity module (SIM) cards
which fit into the SIM holder underneath the battery. The Z6 phones use two
antenna styles. One style is a fixed stub type antenna. The other antenna style is
an internally mounted antenna.
With the optional mobile Phone Tools software™, inexpensive, direct connection to
a computer or handheld device is available through the phone’s USB port and
optional data cable accessory. This connection provides the ability for data and fax
calls, and synchronizing phonebook entries.
Features
Z6 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.
Features available in this family of telephones include:
• 2MP camera with 8x zoom and LED flash
• Video capture/playback/streaming w/progressive download
• Large Keys, Dedicated Portal Key
• MMS, WV, EMS, SMS, Wireless Village Instant Messaging
• microSD™ slot for upgradeable memory
• Integrated MP3 player
• Video playback (MPEG4/H.263)
• Push To Talk Over Cellular [PoC]
• World-class talk and standby times
• Loud, clear audio
• Large, color display (176 x 220 pixels, 262K TFT)
• High quality finish
• Bluetooth
• Bluetooth stereo headset compatible
•MP3 ring tones
•Java
• Games (embedded & downloadable)
• PC synchronization via mini USB
• Acoustic reliability with separate speakers for alert and earpiece

Speaker Dependent Voice Activation and Voice Note Recording
Voice tags can 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.
You can add voice tags to the phone’s memory using the usual name addition
methods (i.e., via the phone book menu structure or with the shortcut editor).
➧
➧
You 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.
Z6 telephones also include a voice recorder that allows up to 2 minutes of personal
messages to be recorded. This feature has a complete set of record, playback, and
management tools that make it easy to store and maintain a list of personal memos.
SIM Application ToolkitTM - Class 2
SIM Application Toolkit is a value-added service delivery mechanism 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.
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.

from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Ensure adequate static protection is in place
when handling, shipping, and servicing the internal components of this equipment.
Avoid stressing the plastic in any way to avoid damage to either the plastic or
internal components.
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.

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and Identification Z6
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 original
personalized details, such as menu and stored memory, such as phone books, or
even just program a unit with basic user information such as language selection.
Z6 telephones use Mobile Phone Tools software to effect a personality transfer.
Identification
Each Motorola GSM device is labeled 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 33.

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

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