Cautions
•
Servicing and alignment must be undertaken by qualified personnel only.
•
Ensure all work is carried out at an anti-static workstation and that an anti-static wrist strap is worn.
•
Ensure solder, wire, or foreign matter does not enter the telephone as damage may result.
•
Use only approved components as specified in the parts list.
•
Ensure all components, modules, screws and insulators are correctly re-fitted after servicing and
alignment.
•
Ensure all cables and wires are repositioned correctly.
•
Never test a mobile phone WCDMA transmitter with full Tx power, if there is no possibility to perform the
measurements in a good performance RF-shielded room. Even low power WCDMA transmitters may disturb
nearby WCDMA networks and cause problems to 3G cellular phone communication in a wide area.
•
During testing never activate the GSM or WCDMA transmitter without a proper antenna load, otherwise
GSM or WCDMA PA may be damaged.
This product is of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below
will help you to fulfil any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product for many years.
•
Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small children.
•
Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits.
•
Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged.
•
Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
•
Do not store the phone in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form
inside, which may damage electronic circuit boards.
•
Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the phone.
•
Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
•
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to the product, battery, charger or any accessory.
Nokia requires that service points have sufficient ESD protection (against static electricity) when servicing
the phone.
Any product of which the covers are removed must be handled with ESD protection. The SIM card can be
replaced without ESD protection if the product is otherwise ready for use.
To replace the covers ESD protection must be applied.
All electronic parts of the product are susceptible to ESD. Resistors, too, can be damaged by static electricity
discharge.
All ESD sensitive parts must be packed in metallized protective bags during shipping and handling outside
any ESD Protected Area (EPA).
Every repair action involving opening the product or handling the product components must be done under
ESD protection.
ESD protected spare part packages MUST NOT be opened/closed out of an ESD Protected Area.
For more information and local requirements about ESD protection and ESD Protected Area, contact your local
Note: 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 Li-Pol 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 which 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.
Our policy is of continuous development; details of all technical modifications will be included with service
bulletins.

There are two possible failure modes in the keyboard module:
1 One or more keys are stuck, so that the key(s) does not react when you press a keydome. This kind of
failure is caused by mechanical reasons (dirt, corrosion).
2 Malfunction of several keys at the same time; this happens when one or more rows or columns are failing
(shortcut or open connection). For a more detailed description of the keyboard and keymatrix, see section

Ambient Light Sensor troubleshooting and re-calibration
Introduction to ALS troubleshooting and re-calibration
The Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) consists of the following components:
•
Ambient Light Sensor (N6603). ALS is digital I2C interface component that has two channels with different
spectral sensitivities. When combined, the component responds to illuminance similar as human eye.
•
Vdd filtering capacitor (C6603)
The ALS components are located at the top of the main flex as illustrated in the figure below.
ALS information is used to control the keypad and display brightness of the phone. The keyboard backlight
is turned OFF, when it’s not needed. Display brightness is dimmed, when environment lighting is dark. ALS
is calibrated in production and can be re-tuned in service points though not recommended unless calibration
coefficient is lost for some reason.
Note: ALS calibration is also required for Light SWAP Engines, because ALS is not factory calibrated
for Light SWAP.
When executing the ALS calibration, a reference phone that includes calibrated ALS is required. The ALS retuning instructions show why the reference phone is needed.
Note: Make sure that you have completed the display and keyboard backlights troubleshooting
before starting the ALS troubleshooting.
There is an Ambient Light Sensor window in the Phoenix Display Test tool, which shows the luminance value.
The correct luminance in darkness is <20 lx, and in an office environment 100-2000 lx.
Note: The luminance value depends heavily on the light source and the angle of the phone against
the light source, so the values above can only be used as a rough guideline. Phoenix has an ambient
light sensor calibration tool for changing the calibration values.

3. Choose Testing→Display test.
4. Open the Lights tab, and check the Ambient light sensor check box. Click the Read button in order to get
the reference ambient light value. Cover the sensor and click Read again. When covered, the luminance
reading should be less than after clicking Read without covering the sensor.
5. If the component does not give any reading or the reading does not change when sensor is/is not covered,
replace the part.
Note: In RM-492 the ALS module is located on the main flex assembly. ALS calibration must always
be done when the main flex assembly is changed. Also, if the ALS calibration values are lost from
the phone, ALS needs to be recalibrated.
The ALS calibration procedure requires a reference phone with a calibrated ALS.
Calibrating ALS
Steps
1.Connect the phone to
the ambient light visible to ALS is stable. The light quide of the ALS is located on the upper part of the
phone’s front cover, right next to the secondary camera.
2.Scan product on Phoenix (CTRL+R)

4.Uncheck the Use default values only check box, click the Read button to get the AD-Count values for
Channel 0 and Channel 1, and write them down.
Note: In the example graphic the reference phone values are: Channel 0=3001 and Channel 1=337
5.Repeat steps 1-4 for the phone to be calibrated.
Note: Make sure the phone to be calibrated is located in the same place as the reference phone was
when luminance reading was taken.
6.Calculate and write down co-efficient value by division:
7.To calibrate ALS, the value in the Reference Level textbox needs to be adjusted for both channels until
the Co-efficient calculated by Phoenix equals the values calculated in step 6. Click Calibrate after each
try (and uncheck the Use default values only check box).
8.Calibration is done when the Co-efficient is equal to the co-efficient value calculated in step 6.
Note: Decimal numbers should be used in the iteration in order to achieve adequate precision (e.g.
200.2455)
9.Use Phoenix (Testing→Display test→Lights tab) to verify the calibration by reading the luminance value
for both the reference phone and calibrated phone.
Note: Remember that the illuminance readings for the reference and calibrated phones must be
done in the same ambient light conditions. If the illuminance values differ more than +- 10%, repeat
the whole ALS calibration procedure.

BB Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Guide
Bluetooth and FM radio
Introduction to Bluetooth/FM Radio troubleshooting
There are two main Bluetooth problems that can occur:
ProblemDescription
Detachment of the BT antenna.This would most likely happen if the device has
been dropped repeatedly to the ground. It could
cause the BT antenna to become loose or partially
detached from the PWB.
A malfunction in the BT ASIC, BB ASICs or Phone’s BT
SMD components.
The main issue is to find out if the problem is related to the BT antenna or related to the BT system or the
phone’s BB and then replace/fix the faulty component.
This is unpredictable and could have many causes
i.e. SW or HW related.
Bluetooth antenna
The ceramic GPS/BT antenna is located on the top side of the engine PWB.
window check the following Bluetooth related tests:

The GPS antenna test pad is located as shown on the figure below. Checking for a connection between these
two test points will confirm that the antenna is working correctly, as will performing a radiated CW test.
GPS troubleshooting is broken down into two parts: general GPS failure & GPS basic checks. The GPS failure
troubleshooting flow can be followed and, where applicable, will feed into the Basic checks troubleshooting

Audio troubleshooting
Audio troubleshooting test instructions
Single-ended external earpiece and differential internal earpiece outputs can be measured either with a
single-ended or a differential probe.
When measuring with a single-ended probe each output is measured against the ground.
Internal handsfree output is measured using a current probe, if a special low-pass filter designed for
measuring a digital amplifier is not available. Note also that when using a current probe, the input signal
frequency must be set to 2kHz.
The input signal for each loop test can be either single-ended or differential. Exception to this is a digital
microphone, which needs input signal from an external sound source (laptop speaker) to playback eg. 1kHz
sine wave from 5cm distance.
Required equipment
The following equipment is needed for the tests:
•
Oscilloscope
•
Function generator (sine waveform)
•
Current probe (Internal handsfree PWM output measurement)
•
Phoenix service software
•
Battery voltage 3.7V
•
Sound source (laptop speaker or B&K type 4231 calibrator)
Test procedure
Audio can be tested using the Phoenix audio routings option. Three different audio loop paths can be
activated:
•
External microphone to Internal earpiece
•
External microphone to Internal handsfree speaker
•
Digital stereo microphone to External earpiece
Each audio loop sets routing from the specified input to the specified output enabling a quick in-out test.
Loop path gains are fixed and they cannot be changed using Phoenix. Correct pins and signals for each test
are presented in the following table.
Phoenix audio loop tests and test results
The results presented in the table apply when no accessory is connected and battery voltage is set to 3.7V.
Earpiece, internal microphone and speaker are in place during measurement. Applying a headset accessory
during measurement causes a significant drop in measured quantities.
The gain values presented in the table apply for a differential output vs. single-ended/differential input.
