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.

Display module troubleshooting
General instructions for display troubleshooting
The first step is to verify with a working display that the fault is not on the display module itself. The display
module cannot be repaired.
The second step is to check that the engine is working normally. This can be done by connecting the phone
to a docking station and starting Phoenix service software. With the help of Phoenix read the phone
information to check that also the application engine is functioning normally (you should be able to read the
APE ID).
After these checks proceed to the display troubleshooting flowcharts. Use the Display Test tool in Phoenix to
find the detailed fault mode.
Pixel defects
Table 6 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.
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.
Visual defects (pixel)Pixel defects can be checked by controlling the
display with Phoenix. Use both colors, black and
white, on a full screen. R, G, B are also helpful.
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
presented in the following table.
Table 7 Pixel defects
Bright sub-pixels(sometimes called on-pixels or stuck-on) are
characterized by the appearance of bright/colored
pixels in, for example, black full screen picture.
Dark sub-pixels(sometimes called off-pixels, stuck-off, or black
pixels) are characterized by the appearance of dark
pixels in white, red, green, or blue full-screen
picture.
Combined sub-pixeldefects are characterized by at least two sub-pixels
defects (bright or dim) being closer than 5 mm to
each other.
Temporal sub-pixels(sometimes called blinking defects) exhibit
temporal variations not related to any steady-state
video input. Temporal sub-pixel defects may be
intermittent, exhibit a sudden change of state, or
be flickering.

Introduction to display troubleshooting
The display module used is based on AM OLED technology and supports display format of 360 columns x 640
rows. The dimension of the display module is 47.8 mm x 86.3 mm x 2.12 mm. The module will interface to
the phone via FPC with a 20 pins board to board connector.
The following references on the PWB help in the effective debugging and troubleshooting of the display.

ALS technical description and troubleshooting
Ambient Light Sensor (ALS)
Pupumon V1100 is a digital Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) which is connected to RAPU via I2C_2 bus. It does not
have an interrupt signal as in Augumon ALS. Power supply voltage is provided from VAUX2 output of EM ASIC.
ALS is used in backlight control system to measure the amount of ambient light reaching display surface so
that it is possible to adjust the display (and keypad) brightness in order to achieve good user experience.
This also helps in saving power.
1. Connect the phone to Phoenix and set the phone (e.g. on the table) so that the amount of ambient light
seen by ALS is as stabile as possible.
2. Start
3. Choose File -> Scan product .
4. Choose Testing -> Display Test .
5. Open the Lights tab, check Ambient Light Sensor check box, click Read , cover the sensor and click
6. If the component does not give any reading or reading does not change when the sensor is/is not covered,
Phoenix
Read again. When covered, Luminance reading should be less than after clicking Read without covering
the sensor.
replace the part.
.
•
After replacing the ALS, if the calibration values of the new sensor are lost or for some other reason,
ALS re-tuning is required.
•
When doing the ALS calibration procedure, it is required to have a reference phone which includes a
calibrated ALS. ALS re-tuning instructions show why the reference phone is needed.
1.Connect reference phone to Phoenix and set the phone (e.g. on the table) so that the amount of ambient
light seen by ALS is as stable as possible.
2.Start Phoenix.
3.Choose File→Scan Product.
4.Choose Tuning -> Ambient Light Sensor Calibration. You should see the following window:
5.Read AD-count values for Channel 0 and Channel 1 by click Read button and write them down.
6.Repeat 1-5 for the phone to be calibrated and make sure the phone to be calibrated is located in the
same place as reference phone was when luminance reading was taken.
7.Calculate co-efficient from reference phone and phone to be calibrated AD-count values by division: Coefficient = AD-count(reference phone) / AD-count(phone to be calibrated), write down the calculated coefficient values.
8.-> Iterate by changing Channel 0 and Channel 1 (reference level) values (remove cross from ‘Use default
values only’). After writing some value to Channel 0 and Channel 1 (reference value), calibrate button
must be pressed. Stop iterating when Co-efficient is equal to Co-efficient calculated in step 7. Note that
decimal numbers should be used in the iteration in order to achieve enough precision (e.g. 200.2455)
9.After having same Co-efficient value in “Co-efficient” textbox as the calculated value, make sure that
ambient light values (read using Testing → Display Test → “Luminance” textbox) are almost the same
in reference phone and calibrated phone. Remember that illuminance readings for reference and
calibrated phones must be done in the same ambient light conditions. If illuminance values differs a lot
(difference max. +- 10%), repeat whole ALS re-tuning procedure.
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 2 kHz.
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. 1 kHz
sine wave from 5 cm distance.
Required equipment
The following equipment is needed for the tests:
•
Oscilloscope
•
Function generator (sine waveform)
•
Current probe (Internal handsfree DPMA 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 headset mic to earpiece
•
External headset mic to IHF mono
•
Internal digital microphone to headset
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
