3.6.Incoming Call Line Identification (CLI)
When a call is received the last 6 digits of the CLI information is matched with the phonebook. Therefore an incoming call could
match to the wrong phonebook entry.
3.7.Hot Key Dial Source List
The source for Hot Key Dial Numbers is normally ‘Phonebook’ or ‘Service Dial Numbers’. For some OEMs it may be a
requirement to store these numbers in Flash-ROM. When the source is the Flash-ROM and the telephone software is updated,
the source numbers may be lost. Also, if the user changes the source of the Hot Key Dial numbers, it will not be possible to
redirect the source back to Flash-ROM. However, in the event that an OEM would like the Hot Key Dial source to be stored in
the Flash-ROM, it is unlikely that the user will have the option to change the Hot Key Dial source.

3.13. SIM Personalisation
3.13.1 Introduction
SIM personalisation will limit the use of the telephone to a single SIM, a SIM supplied by one Network/Sub-network/Service
Provider or a SIM purchased by a company (corporation). If a personalised handset contains a SIM that is from a different
source, it will display the message “SIM ERROR” when switched on. This personalisation is sometimes referred to as SIM lock
or SIM latch.
3.13.2 Testing
To test a personalised handset when the user has not supplied the SIM, a SIM configured for test purposes (e.g. test SIM or
soft SIM) should be used. The mobile will recognise that the SIM is for testing purposes only and operate as normal.

This section provides information on testing the GD93 telephone. The layout is as follows
1. Section 6.2 ALIVH PCBs: Description and repair procedures.
2. Section 6.3 External testing: describes equipment requirements and general set up procedure.
3. Section 6.4 Complete Unit Test Setup: describes how the items of test equipment are used together and general set up
procedure.
4. Section 6.5 Channel box test commands: provides detailed explanation of the different commands available using the test
equipment and channel-box software.
5. Section 6.6 Adjustment mode: describes adjustments available on the handheld unit.
6.2.Any-Layer Interstitial Via Hole (ALIVH) PCBs
CAUTION
The telephone handset uses an ALIVH PCB assembly, the substrate of which is hydrophilic. To avoid damaging the ALIVH
PCB, the specialist equipment and procedures described below must be employed when replacing suspect or faulty
components.
6.2.1.General Information
To reduce overall size and provide enhanced speech and data performance, an Any-Layer Interstitial Via Hole (ALIVH) PCB
is used in this telephone. ALIVH PCBs are multi-layer boards which have an IVH structure in all inter-layers and can provide
an inter-layer connection immediately under the land of a component. In addition, the PCB has no through holes and any
number of layers can be interconnected.
As the specification and performance characteristics of ALIVH PCBs differ from that of conventional multi-layered boards,
special attention is required when handling and repairing these assemblies.
Moisture Absorbency
The ALIVH PWB is more absorbent than a conventional PCB because of the nature of its material. Its aramid substrate is
hydrophilic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the air. If, after having absorbed moisture, the ALIVH PWB is submitted to re-flow or
repair process, moisture in the board can suddenly evaporate and cause vapour explosion.
The ALIVH PCB is slightly less resistant to copper detachment force than conventional boards. Therefore, it is necessary to
ensure that solder is melted sufficiently before a component is removed from the board.
Warping Property
The ALIVH PCB has a smaller Young's Modulus and is therefore more pliant than conventional boards. It is important that the
ALVIH PCB is not bent when component placement is performed.
6.2.2.Repair Procedures
To prevent problems caused by moisture absorption, it will be necessary to perform dehydration of ALIVH PCBs in a suitable
oven or similar heating device prior to repair. The boards should be heated at 85 °C for a duration of at least ten hours.
The repair should also be performed under the following conditions:
Soldering Iron
The temperature of the tip of the soldering iron should be 350 °C ±10 °C for an application time of five seconds or less.
Removal and re-mounting of components should be performed only once at any component position.
Note: To avoid land detachment, do NOT apply excessive force on the soldering iron when heating the board.
Ensure that the solder has melted sufficiently to allow component removal without damaging the board.
Hot-Air Blower
The blower air temperature should be at:
MCUK001002C8Section 6Issue 1
Service Manual– 31 –Revision 0
Page 38
TEST AND MEASUREMENT
295 °C ±5 °C for an application time of 120 seconds or less,
or:
395 °C ±5 °C for an application time of 30 seconds or less.
Removal and re-mounting of components should be performed only once at any component position.
Note: To avoid land detachment, do NOT apply excessive force on the soldering iron when heating the board.
Ensure that the solder has melted sufficiently to allow component removal without damaging the board.
Re-flowing / Re-touching
1. Re-touching by soldering iron:
HAKKO 928 soldering iron is recommended.
900S-T-B tip for thicker solder joints and 900M-T-LB tip for thinner solder joints are recommended
2. Tip temperature/time
Normal pad : 325±10°C, less than five seconds
Large Pad : 400±10°C, less than five seconds
3. Pressure at solder tip
· Weight of soldering iron, (50gm) + 100gm to 150gm
· Do not exert pressure in the horizontal direction
4. Retouching small components
Pinch the component using two soldering irons and retouch within four seconds
6.3.External Testing
6.3.1.General Information
The handset can be connected to a compatible personal computer for electronic adjustment and fault diagnosis. This section
provides a description of the equipment required to perform those tasks.
Testing and adjustment of the handheld unit can be performed with the outer case in place and the cradle connected. For indepth fault finding the unit should first be disassembled, as detailed in Section 4, and then the PCB Repair Jig used to connect
the PCBs together externally as they would be found in normal use. Fault tracing can then be performed on the PCBs using
suitable test equipment, such as spectrum analysers and oscilloscopes.
The unit must now be tested and calibrated for both frequency bands (900 MHz and 1800 MHz).
6.3.2.Jigs and Tools
Interface Box (Part No. IFB003 / IFB004)
The Interface box provides:
IFB003: Voltage regulation for +7.2 V, +5.6 V or 4.8 V DC outputs. The +7.2 V switch setting is used as a supply to Li-Ion type
batteries (compatible for other products), the 5.6 V switch setting is used for PCB testing and the 4.8 V switch setting is used
for testing the complete unit.

Current Charging ADC Calibration
It is important to monitor the current when charging the Li-ion battery, both to protect against over-current and to determine
when charging is complete. The telephone uses the VCC3 and MADC (ICHG) connections of OMEGA to measure charging
current as an amplified voltage across a sense resistor.
NOTE: This calibration procedure MUST be carried out once Charging Voltage calibration has been completed.
1. Press F4 and select VIEW ADC LINES. Read ADIN5 (CRG CURRENT) and record this value.
Figure 6.34: ADC Calibration
2. If this value is outside the range 101 - 251, then there is a fault and further investigation is required. Otherwise, calculate
the difference between the recorded value and the theoretical value of 161. Record this value for use later.
3. Press F6 and select TRIM OTHER. Select COMP OFFSET and enter the value recorded in step 2.
4. Press F9. Wait for the prompt “Saving EV Trim data” to disappear, turn OFF the power supplies and disconnect the
telephone.
