1Introduction
The product familiy S1x consists of S10 (GSM-900), S11 (GSM-1800) and S12
(GSM-1900). The S10 is also available as a special outdoor version, the S10 Active. This
phone has different display and RF/Control modules, even though many of the components
are identical.
This manual is intended to help you carry out S11 repairs on level 2.5, meaning limited
component repairs. Failure highlights are documented and should be repaired in the local
workshops.
It must be noted that all repairs have to be carried out in an environment set up according to
the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Devices) regulations defined in international
standards.
If you have any questions regarding the repair procedures or spare parts do not hesitate to
contact our technical support team in Kamp-Lintfort, Germany:

3.2.2Fault Symptom on GSM-Tester:
Frequency error in synchronized mode >90 Hz
No location update possible
The TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) is responsible for generating the
13 MHz reference frequency of the handset.
If it is defective, the handset cannot synchronize to the base station anymore.

Information and Communication

All other frequencies are derived from this 13MHz reference, its stability is vital for the
handset function.
The TCXO output frequency is determined by a DC tuning voltage applied to its VC pin. The
voltage comes from the microprocessor as a pulse number modulated digital signal.
A lowpass then converts this digital signal to a proportional DC voltage, which is then used
to fine tune the TCXO output frequency.

3.4Repair Documentation
3.4.1Description of procedure:
3.4.1.1Diagnosis
Check the output frequency of the TCXO using the level-2 testing
program for S11.
Switch off the „CMD in Use“ option in the config file (S6xx.CFG or
S6xx.INI depending on the version of the testsoftware) and restart
the program. Start the S11 test, when the program says „Check power
and phase of external antenna with your GSM-Tester“, switch the
CMD to „LOCAL“ mode and enter the „MODULE TEST“.
On the CMD display you can see the frequency error of the handset.
(Make sure that the CMD is on channel number defined in the [PCN]
section of the S6xx.ini, power level 0!)
If the frequency error is higher than 2kHz, the TCXO has to be
replaced.
3.4.1.2Repair by component change
Use hot air blower to remove defective TCXO.

11.4.1.1Diagnosis
The antennaswitch is used to switch the Rx and Tx path between the
internal an external antenna of the handset
The function of the antennaswitch can be verified by simple resistance
measurements:
Pin 2 and 7 against ground must be around 86 kOhms.
If any of these resistances are significantly different, the
antennaswitch will have to be replaced.

12.4.1Description of procedure:
12.4.1.1Diagnosis
The coil is used in the step up converter which is generating a
6.0 V supply voltage for the power amplifier out of the 2.8V battery
voltage.
If the coil is mechanically damaged (broken) it produces heavy
interference with the acoustical elements of the S11 resulting in a loud
humming noise in the earpiece.
A broken coil can easily be diagnosed by trying to move it with two
fingers. If it moves, the core is broken and the coil has to be
replaced.
12.4.1.2Repair by component change
Use hot air to remove defective coil.
Avoid excessive heat!
Watch surrounding components!!
Resolder new coil afterwards
12.4.1.3Repair by SW-Booting
