Tuning Instructions
General
The tuning operations of the THF-13 are carried out using the Service
Software. The Service Software program turns the phone into Locals
Mode, in which the phone can be outwardly controlled via the M2BUS in-
terface.
Tuning is based on the Service Software communicating with the D/A and
A/D converters of the phone.
The calibration data of the phone resides on the EEPROM. The contents
of the EEPROM can be read by the Service Software. The program also
enables writing of the factory preset calibration data to the EEPROM, af-
ter which the whole tuning process should be carried out again.
If a repair has been carried out on the RF section of a system module
then the appropriate tunings should be performed as described in the fol-
lowing section and using th on-screen help menus as a guide. Spare sys-
tem modules will be delivered pre-tuned from the factory and will not re-
quire retuning.
PAMS Technical Documentation
During tuning, proceed as follows:
– Take care not to damage sensitive measuring instruments with exces-
sive RF power.
– Carry out all tuning steps in the shortest possible time to avoid exces-
sive heating of RF units.
– Perform all tuning steps in the order presented.
– Never try to mask a fault by tuning it out!
Minimum Required Servicing Equipment
–PC/AT Computer with Service Software installed: See Service Software
instructions.
–M2BUS cable DAU–9P and other service software accessories; see
equipment set–up pictures.
–Audio analyzer.
–RF power meter, power measurement sensitivity –10 dBm.
–RF generator.
–Device to provide specified test modulation to modulate RF generator.
–Multimeter or DVM.
–Attenuator and branching unit.
–Power supply, nom. voltage 3.6 V (with service battery BBD–3 voltage
is 8.2 V).
Equipment Setup
Turn off the computer before connecting the cable to avoid possible damage to the serial port.

Manual Tuning Steps
General
If any repairs or replacements have not been made, manual tuning is not
necessary on the phone. Spare modules have been tuned at the factory.
If some repair or replacements have been made, manual tuning is nessessary.
If you do not want to use phone country version dependent tuning channels, proceed as follows:
1. Choose RF controls from the Configure menu.
2. Change channel values.
3. Choose Write File -button in order to save channel values in ” TESLA.ini ” -file.
PAMS Technical Documentation
The program saves the channel settings and uses them every time when
Tunings or Testing menu is chosen. The program uses ordinary channels
depending on the phone country version, if you don’t change channels.

FFSK Deviation Tuning
This adjustment is used to set outgoing FFSK data deviation.
The command turns the phone to default middle channel (RX and TX),
activates the transmitter, opens the data path, and sets up the modem to
send a continuous 1800 Hz, ”0” signal.
To adjust, enter values (0-15) for the D/A converter, and compare results
to the reading given by the deviation meter.
Nominal Deviation Tuning
The purpose of this tuning operation is to adjust the nominal deviation of
voice and DTMF signaling.
Page 10
Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.
Issue 1 08/99
PAMS Technical Documentation
The command turns the phone to the default middle channel, and activates the transmitter.
To adjust, enter values from the range 0-7 into the D/A converter and
compare results with deviation meter readings.
Maximum Deviation Tuning
This adjustment has an effect on voice and DTMF signal maximum deviation.
The command turns the phone on the default middle channel, and activates the transmitter.
Enter various values from the range 0-7 into the D/A converter, and
compare results with the reading in the deviation meter.
Note: Deviation will increase when D/A reading is decreased.

Introduction to Flashing
The Flash Programming procedure can be divided into six main steps.
1. Prommer synchronous clock pin is set to low.
2. Phone power is switched on. The ASIC boot software is now ready to
receive the secondary boot code.
3. The secondary boot is loaded into the internal phone MCU RAM at a
low communication speed.
4. As response to a successful secondary boot down loading and execution the phone returns its current HW configuration and MCU SW version.
5. The prommer selects one of the target specific download codes and
sends it to the phone. The code selection is executed automatically based
on the phone configuration data. The transmission speed used is as
fast as the target HW allows. Down load code is loaded and executed in
the RAM.
THF–13
Tuning and Flashing Instructions
6. MCU SW is programmed into the phone FLASH using the flashing algorithm provided in down load code. The data is transmitted in data
frames, frame size varies from one to several kilobytes. The download
code includes flash erase and flashblank check routines for the MCU SW
update purposes.

The installation program ’SETUP.BAT’ needs later DOSversion. It uses
DOS command ’choice.com’ which ismissing old (< 5.x) DOS versions.
Prommer software does not run under WINDOWS properly.
PC MCU speed have no affects to phone programming times!
MCUSW downloading speed depends directly on PC speed !
Installation
1. Connect parallel cable from PC LPT port to FPS-4 Parallel Input.
2. Connect serial cable from PC COM port to FPS-4 Serial Input.
3. Connect the Flash Loading Adapter to the FPS-4 Phone Connector.
4. Connect Power Plug to FPS-4 PWR connector.
5. Run setup utility program ’SETUP’ on your diskette drive.
Give the target directory in parameter ( e.g. A:> SETUP C:\FPS4 ).
Check that parallel and serial port numbers and your Flash loading
adapter type are selected correctly.
NOTE! You can change FPS-4 prommer i/o-port numbers later from
prommer setup menu when you run prommer with ’-S’ option ( e.g.
C:\FPS4> FPS4 -S ). The Flash adapter type can be changed any time in
setup menu.
All prommer settings are saved to ’SETUP.FPS’ file in prommer default
directory.
