Product Overview
Motorola Z8 mobile telephones feature Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
(WCDMA) technology, and global system for mobile communications (GSM) air
interface, The mobile telephone uses a simple icon and graphical-based user
interface (UI) for easier operation, allows short message service (SMS) text
messaging, and includes clock, alarm, datebook, calculator, and caller profiling
personal management tools. The Z8 operates within the GSM 850/900MHz, DCS
1800 MHz, PCS 1900 MHz, and UMTS 2100 MHz bands.
Z8 telephones support HSPDA, GPRS, SMS, and MMS in addition to traditional
circuit switched transport technologies. High Speed Downlink Packet Access
(HSPDA) is a wireless radio broadband data standard adopted by many WCDMA
mobile phone service providers. HSPDA is significantly faster than GPRS,
providing mobile devices with air interface speeds from 384kbps to 3.5Mpbs.
HSPDA, where available, provides substantial increases in mobile data
communications performance and the efficient use of radio spectrum.
HSPDA allows the delivery of advanced mobile services, such as the streaming of
video and music clips, full multimedia messaging, high-speed internet access and
e-mail on the move.
Features
The telephones are made of polycarbonate plastic. The display and speaker, as well
as the transceiver printed circuit board (PCB), microphone, charger and headphone
connectors, and buttons are contained within the thin kicking slider form-factor
housing. The 1030 mAh Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery provides up to 5 hours of talk
time in UMTS mode with up to 384 hours of standby time
and 1.8V mini subscriber identity module (SIM) cards which fit into the SIM holder
under the rear housing cover. The telephone features a 240 x 320, 16M QVGA TFT
color display and an internal antenna.
Z8 telephones use advanced, self-contained, sealed, custom integrated circuits to
perform the complex functions required for GSM and UMTS communication. Aside
from the space and weight advantage, microcircuits enhance basic reliability,
simplify maintenance, and provide a wide variety of operational functions.
Features available include:
• Messaging/WAP: SMS, MMS, EMS, email (POP3/IMAP4/SMTP/SSL), Opera
browser
• OS/Applications: 2-softkey UI version of UIQ 3.1/Symbian 9.2
• Special Features: Media Studio with full Music support and 30fps H.264 video
• Connectivity: EMU (mini USB), Bluetooth including A2DP, AVACP profiles
• Server based solutions: OMA DM/DS, FOTA, OMA DRM,
• FOTA (Firmware Over The Air)
• Native Media player
• Video capture, playback
• Lower voltage technology that provides increased standby and talk times
• Extended GSM (EGSM) channels

. The phone accepts 3V
1. All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on network configuration, signal strength, and features selected. Standby
times are quoted as a range from DRX=2 to DRX=9. Talk times are quoted as a range from DTX off to DTX on.

Simplified Text Entry
Motorola Labs handwriting and 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

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, an incoming call message
is displayed.
User must subscribe to a caller line identification service through their service

provider.
Personal Information Management
The Z8 telephone contains a built in calendar with date book reminders and
phonebook that can be synchronized easily to a computer.

Battery Charge Indicator
The telephone displays a battery charge indicator icon in the idle screen to indicate
the battery charge level. The gauge shows four levels: 100%, 66%, 33%, and Low
Battery.
Battery Removal
Removing the battery causes the device to immediately shut down and any pending
work (partially entered phone book entries or outgoing messages, for example) 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.
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.

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and Identification Z8 UMTS
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and Identification
SIM
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.
Z8 telephones use Motorola Phone Tools synchronization 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 16.

Level 1 and 2 Service ManualSubscriber Identity Module (SIM) and Identification
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.
