Please state:
Title of the Document + Issue Number/Date of publication
Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles!
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the
operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge the battery only with the chargers
approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused a fully charged
battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
For good operation times with Ni-Cd/NiMh batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving the
product switched on until it turns itself off (or by using the battery discharge facility of any approved
accessory available for the product). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen)
causes direct connection of the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery) for example
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce
the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and
77°F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as household waste.

CDMA Battery Measurement Calibration
Calibration method
Select some groups of voltage value, switch them to corresponding Aux ADC values and write them into
memory. Calibration steps: Select 5 groups of voltage value, switch them to 5 groups of Aux ADC
numerical value via AD.
Calibration Procedure
A. Start with reset system (PS power down, reset).
B. Set the power supply to the desired value.
C. Get the Aux ADC Value from the Debug Tool. The battery AUX ADC detect channel is 1, the on/off
status is on. Click on the Get Result button to get ADC value.
D. Try more than 5 times. Get the average value. Store the power supply voltage point versus the Aux
ADC value.
E. Iterate steps B - D once for another power supply voltage.
Supported receiver calibration items are the following:
CP DB HWD PCS RxAGC
CP DB HWD PCS RxAGC Freq Chan Adj
Note: Before starting the RxAGC Calibration, the Rx date must be set empty. Otherwise the calibration
value may not be correct.
CDMA RxAGC Baseline
CDMA RxAGC Baseline overview
The basic mechanism for calibration is to provide a signal of known power at the antenna, allow the
RxAGC to settle, and make note of the resulting RxAGC PDM value. In this way, the “settled” value of
the PDM for a given Rx power is known.
Calibration Procedure
A. Start with reset system (PS power down, reset).
B. Click on CP Enable/Disable and CP Power Down/Up. Let the CP disable and power down.
C. Set the channel. Set the control mode to Manual, and the band to the target band.
D. Set the test set frequency channel to the test frequency. For the first data point, enter the channel
used to calibrate the Rx AGC. Then set the test set transmission power to a desired power which is in
the Rx highest gain. The Reference Level is -99dB.
E. Initialize the calibration RxAGC gain state by clicking on DSPM Rfc Dagc. Set gain state to highest
gain.
The Spy windows become active, and display the current Tx and Rx status.
G. Get the RxDAgc Value Bitsel and the RxDAgc Value Gain. Write those calibration parameters
together with Reference Level to the non-volatile area of flash memory. To confirm the new calibration,
first update the Flash by either power cycling the UUT or by using the CalMode Select with the NVRAM
option.
H. Calibrate the Gain offset. Set the test set transmission power to the desired power which is
between the switch point of each gain level. Calibrate the gain level from the high gain to low gain. Set
the calibration RxAGC gain state by clicking on DSPM Rfc Dagc.
I. Get the received power form the Spy window. For example, if the BS power is -85dBm, and the gain
state is 3, we get -96dBm from spy window. The offset of gain 4 to gain 3 is -85 – (-96) = 11dBm. Write
the calibration parameters to the non-volatile area of flash memory. Confirm the new calibration result.
J. Iterate steps H - I for all desired calibration points.
CDMA RxAGC Frequency Channel Adjustment
About CDMA RxAGC Frequency Channel Adjustment
This procedure is performed at only one power setting. This procedure assumes that the baseline
RxAGC calibration table has been loaded into NVRAM. However, if the calibration application (running
on a PC) stores the RxAGC tables from Section 7.2.1 in PC memory, then the PC Application can
interpolate dBm power values from the PDM value returned by Debugtool. More details are provided
below in the steps below.
A. Perform the procedure at “nominal” or room temperature.
B. The baseline RxAGC calibration must have already been completed.
C. The RxAGC frequency channel adjustment, and temperature adjustment tables must be zeroed.
D. Connect the antenna to CDMA test set.
E. Reset the UUT, start Debugtool, and do not press the Power key on the Virt MMI (i.e., PS should
be off and LID reset). Send the message CP Enable, with Disable option.
F. Set the test set Transmission Power to a desired power point (-100 dBm is a suggested value). This
is normally a point that is calibrated during Rx AGC calibration.
G. Set the test set frequency channel to the test frequency. For the first data point, enter the channel
used to calibrate the RX AGC.
H. Set the frequency channel to the calibration frequency using the CP PLL Channel Config. For the
first data point, enter the channel used to calibrate the RX AGC. Set the Control mode as Manual, the
band to target band.
I. Allow for 25 ms (or more) of settle time.
J. Get the RxAGC Antenna Power (dBm) value using the DSPM Rx AGC Get Parms. As show in the
picture, we get received power -101.1dBm.
K. Calculate Error Power = Transmission Power – Antenna Power, where the Transmission Power
was set in step F and the Antenna Power was obtained in step J. Store the Error Power (dB) versus the
frequency channel point in the non-volatile area of flash memory.
L. Iterate steps G - K for all desired calibration points.
CDMA TxAGC Calibration
There are multiple tables for calibration of the transmitter. All curves must be generated for all band
classes and for all Tx hysteresis states that are utilized.
Supported Transmitter calibration items are the following:
The basic mechanism of the calibration is to transmit a signal at the antenna port with a certain PDM
setting, the power of which is measured by a power meter, spectrum analyzer, or CDMA test set. The
PDM setting and resulting power are then recorded. Care should be taken to provide enough calibration
points near maximum power to ensure accurate transmission power at this level.
CDMA TxAGC Baseline Procedure
A. Perform the procedure at “nominal” or room temperature.
B. The baseline RxAGC calibration must have already been completed.
C. The RxAGC frequency channel adjustment, and temperature adjustment tables must be zeroed.
D. Connect the antenna to CDMA test set.
E. Reset the UUT, start Debugtool, and do not press the Power key on the Virt MMI (i.e., PS should
be off and LID reset). Send the message CP Enable, with Disable option.
F. Set the frequency channel to the calibration frequency using the PLL Channel Config. This is the
baseline frequency, since the frequency compensation table is not active. Set the Control mode as
Manual, the band to target band.
G. Initialize the TxAGC PDM (HW Val in the box below) with a suitably low known value, to prevent a
potential surge of Tx power when the transmitter is turned on in the next step. Use the DSPM Tx AGC
Config. Set the Mode as Manual, the Method as HW_Value, the Hyst as current state.
H. Turn on the transmitter using the Tx Rate. Set the Rate is Tr Full Rate.
I. Set up the spectrum analyzer or test set to measure the channel power on the same channel
selected in step F.
J. Vary the HW Val until the reported power is within +/-1 dB of the desired power level using DSPM
Tx AGC Config.
K. Store the reported test set channel power (dBm) versus PDM value point in the non-volatile area of
flash memory.

SMT. If this happens the antenna gain degrades by 25 dB. Check this failure by measuring the resistance
value between the input and output of RF connector, if the value is close to zero, replace the RF connector.
Note:
Do not insert RF cable to RF connector when testing the resistance value. Because the RF connector
is also a switch, when RF cable is inserted, RF output is disconnected from RF input.
z RF input terminal – connect to duplexer.
z RF output terminal – connect to the antenna pad through antenna match circuit.
z RF connector terminal – connect to RF coaxial cable.
VIA Telecom’s CBP 5.0 single-chip CDMA Base Band Processors provide a complete 3G CDMA2000®
1X (Release 0) solution. They are designed to meet or exceed the specifications of mobile stations for
worldwide 3G CDMA systems as specified by CDMA2000® 1X (Release 0) standards and are
backward-compatible to IS -95.
CBP 5.0 integrates three processor subsystems
ARM7TDMI® Control Processor (CP) supports the protocol stack, user interface, and hardware
interface processing. Two TeakLite® Digital Signal Processors (DSPs): one DSP supports CDMA
modem processing, the second DSP supports CDMA voice processing.

The interface of the CBP 5.0 is described in the following diagram. Receive and transmit interfaces for
CBP 5.0 provides analog I and Q signals and support super-heterodyne radio and direct conversion
radio design. The CP external-memory interface supports 3.0V or 1.8V, the address bus supports 16-bit
address which can support three to six external devices via chip selects. CBP 5.0 includes 48 GPIOs
and interrupts, some of which are multiplexed with other functions. All GPIO pins are in input state by
default and use a large pull-up or pull-down resistor value to minimize the current drain. The USB port
supports data rates of up to 12Mbps, the USB analog drivers and 48.00MHz PLL are integrated into
CBP 5.0, the control processor manages the USB function. Two independent serial-peripheral interfaces
are provided on CBP 5.0: one is for RF control and the other is for general-purpose use. The R-UIM
interface supports 3V UIM cards and consists of five pins, these pins are multiplexed with another
function. The CP manages the R-UIM function.
Five independent PDM DACs are supplied on the CBP 5.0 chip.
Three of the outputs are dedicated to radio-control signals for Rx automatic gain control (AGC), Tx AGC,
and automatic frequency control (AFC). The fourth and fifth PDM outputs are spares. The PDMs are
12-bit DACs and have a guaranteed output range of 0.2 V to 2.5 V.
The 12-bit auxiliary ADC supports eight independent external channels on pins AUXADC [7:0]. There
are also eight internal channels used to measure internal analog voltages. The input voltage range is
0.2 V to 2.7 V. The conversion time is 156 µsec. The typical uses of the external auxiliary ADC channels
include: Tx RF power measurement, battery voltage, and temperature sensors.
The baseband is powered by the following PMU ACT5805 regulators:
