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-Ion 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.

General instructions for display troubleshooting
Context
• The display is in a normal mode when the phone is in active use.
• Display is in a sleep mode when the phone is in the screen saver mode.
Table 8 Display module troubleshooting cases
Display blankThere is no image on the display. The display looks
the same when the phone is on as it does when the
phone is off. The backlight can be on in some cases.
Image on the display not correctImage on the display can be corrupted or a part of
the image can be missing. If a part of the image is
missing, change the display module. If the image is
otherwise corrupted, follow the appropriate
troubleshooting diagram.
Backlight dim or not working at allBacklight LED components are inside the display
module. Backlight failure can also be in the
connector or in the backlight power source in the
main engine of the phone.
This means that in case the display is working
(image OK), the backlight is faulty.
Visual defects (pixel)Pixel defects can be checked by controlling the
display with Phoenix. Use both colours, black and
white, on a full screen.
The display may have some random pixel defects
that are acceptable for this type of display. The
criteria when pixel defects are regarded as a display
failure, resulting in a replacement of the display, are

Display module troubleshooting
Context
The display module consists of two different displays, a main display and a secondary display. The state of
the displays is determined by the state of the phone.
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.
Acoustics design ensures that the sound is detected correctly with a microphone and properly radiated to
the outside of the device by speaker(s). The acoustics of the phone includes three basic systems: earpiece,
Integrated Hands Free (IHF) and microphone.
The sound reproduced from the earpiece radiates through a single hole on the front cover (A-cover). The
sound reproduced from the IHF speaker (located under the battery cover) radiates from the sound holes on
the battery cover. The microphone is located inside the fold (in the lower block) at the bottom right corner.
RM-398; RM-399
BB Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Guide
For a correct functionality of the phone, all sound holes must be always open. When the phone is used, care
must be taken not to close any of those holes with a hand or fingers. The phone should be dry and clean,
and no objects must be located in such a way that they close any of the holes.
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.
All tunings (RF & Baseband, UI) must be done after performing the certificate restoring procedure.
The procedure for certificate restoring is the following:
• Flash the phone with the latest available software using FPS-10 or FPS-21.
Note: USB flashing does not work for a dead BB5 phone.
• Execute the certificate restore process in Phoenix.
• Tune the phone completely.
Note: SX-4 smart card is needed.
• If the phone resets after certificate restoring, reflash the phone again.

RM-399 WLAN troubleshooting
WLAN layout and test points
The WLAN module has been optimised to achieve the smallest possible PWB area and adding test points will
compromise this layout efficiency. There is also an added risk that test point will compromise the WLAN
performance – the layout is quite sensitive and there have been EMC issues that were directly attributed to
use of test points.
The recommendation is to use no test points and use software tests in Phoenix to verify the operation of the
WLAN module. For reference, all test points provided on the schematic are summarised below.
The sequence of events during the start up of WLAN is:
1 PMEM is asserted high when Wlan module is first enabled by the Host.
2 WLAN module should respond by driving CLK REQ high to request the 38.4MHz clock.
3 Host engine turns on the 38.4MHz clock and then generates the SPI Clock to start the download of software
to the WLAN module.
Adding more test points in a product is not strictly necessary.
WLAN settings for Phoenix
Use the following to test WLAN using Phoenix:
1 Set phone into Local Mode .
2 From the File menu, select Scan Product and check that the correct product version is displayed
3 From the Testing menu, select Self Test. This opens up a Self Test dialogue box, as shown below.
Select the ST_WLAN_TEST check box as shown and then select Start button. The test turns on the WLAN, sets
up the SPI interface and then downloads the WLAN firmware into the WLAN module. During the download
the WLAN acknowledges the data blocks and so the self test is a good way to confirm that the WLAN module
is communicating with the Host. The result column will change to Passed after a few seconds if operating
properly.

BB Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Guide
In addition, a test of the WLAN to BT interface can be done by selecting the
ST_BT_WLAN_COEXISTENCE_TEST check box and selecting Start button.
This test verifies that the WLAN to BT co-existence interface signals are properly connected and there are no
open circuit or shorts on the four interface signals.
The co-existence interface comprises BT Txconfig, BT RF Active, BT Priority, and BT Frequency.
In summary these two Self tests provide a simple means of ensuring the Host engine is able to communicate
with the WLAN module and check the interface to BT. More detailed WLAN performance test is covered in
WLAN functional test section.
WLAN functional tests
On/Off test
From the testing toolbar select WLAN Configuration option. This opens the WLAN configuration dialogue
box below. Selecting the Power state option button (as indicated), the WLAN can be turned ON and OFF:
1 With Power State set to OFF, measure the dc power supply current consumption of the flash adaptor.
2 Next return the Power state to ON and re-measure the dc power supply current of the flash adaptor.
The difference between the currents in (1) and (2) should be between 160 to 200mA. When WLAN is ON, the
firmware has been downloaded and the WLAN module is in the receive state. When OFF WLAN is powered
down.
TX tests
From the testing toolbar select WLAN Tx Test option shown below. This test can be used to verify TX
configuration and functionality. The default settings are sufficient for testing the TX operation, although
other channels and data rates are equally suitable. To start the test, select the Start option button:
1 Measure and record the TX ON current consumption of the Phone/ flash adaptor.
2 Monitor the WLAN TX spectrum on a Spectrum analyser either using a co-ax cable connected to the WLAN
TX antenna port or by making a radiated test with a suitable WLAN antenna connected to the spectrum
analyser input. (When making a radiated test ensure that other WLAN devices are not transmitting as
these may be detected as well, confusing the result).
3 To finish the test select the Finish option button
4 Measure the TX OFF current consumption of the phone/flash adaptor.
