Nokia Customer Care Antenna Description and Troubleshooting

Introduction

This chapter addresses potential failures that affect antenna performance of the 2366i mobile terminals and discusses methods for correction of these failures. There are three serviceable antennas used in the 2366i mobile terminal:
CDMA antenna (a dual-band stub antenna)
GPS antenna (mounted to the main PWB)
Bluetooth antenna (a printed trace on the main PWB)
The following sections describe these antennas and their connections to the mobile terminal components.

CDMA Antenna Assembly

You can disconnect the dual-band CDMA antenna assembly. Partial disassembly of the mobile terminal is required to remove and replace the CDMA antenna assembly. (See the Disassembly and Assembly chapters for instructions.) When installed, a T-shaped locking tab on the antenna assembly engages two locking ramps molded into the D-cover and an electrical spring clip contact connects to a pad on the main PWB. Figure 1 shows the antenna assembly and its mounting arrangement.
