Mechanical Concept
Note: All part numbers refer to mechanical drawing in section 4.1!
The S6 consists of two boards, the RF & Control module (1010) and the user
interface (1020).
The connection between those two boards is not made by a normal connector with
plug-in contacts, but by a special interconnector (1090) embedded into a shielding
frame (1060). This interconnector is upholding the connection through the pressure
implied on it by the housing.
Be careful when assembling the interconnector. Avoid any kind of dust or dirt
because it will affect the contacts of the interconnector.
The only removable part on the user interface is the ringer gasket (1080) which is
needed to increase the ringer volume.
Furthermore there is a RF-plug on the user interface which has to be plugged into
the appropriate connector on the RF & control module. This conection is very
essential because it is the RF signal from / to the internal antenna.
The shielding is done by the lower case shell (1050) which is covered with a
conductive material, so no additional shielding screen is necessary.
The antenna (1130) is directly screwed into the lower case shell.
The keypad (1030), the loudspeaker (1120), the microphone (1110) and the dust
protection frame (1210) are mounted into the upper case shell (1040). Make sure
that the microphone contacts are properly bent up when mounting.
When turning in the screws (1140, 1145 and 1150) make sure that the right torque is
used (25 Ncm), because this will have an effect on the contacts of the
interconnector.
Note: Make sure that you mount the right antenna, the GSM antenna has two
stripes, the PCN antenna only has one!

Disassembling the S6
ESD regulations have to be followed!
1. Remove battery and SIM-Card.
2. Unscrew antenna (1130).
3. Unscrew 2 oval head screws (1150) (Torx 1,8x12).
4. Turn out 2 short flat head screws (1140) (Torx 1,8x8).
5. Remove plastic disks (1155) and turn out the 3 long flat head screws (1145)
(Torx 1,8x12).
6. Lift off the lower case shell (1050).
7. Lift composite of MMI-board (1020) and RF-and controle module (1010) out of
the upper case shell (1040).
Only for level-2 repairs:
a) Remove ringer gasket (1080) from the MMI board (1020).
b) Remove RF plug from RF- and control module (1010).
c) Take off the MMI board (1020).
d) Take frame (1060) off the RF- and control module (1010).
e) Remove interconnector (1090) from the frame (1060).
8. If necessary: Take battery connector out of lower case shell (1050).
9. Remove the dust protection frame (1210) from the upper case shell (1040).
10. Take keypad (1030) out of upper case shell (1040).
11. Remove earphone capsule (1120) and microphone (1110) from upper case
shell.

ESD regulations have to be followed!
1. Put earphone capsule (1120) and microphone (1110) into upper case shell.
2. Insert keypad (1030) into upper case shell (1040).
3. Put dust protection frame (1210) on display window inside upper case shell.
4. If necessary: Insert battery connector into lower case shell (1050).
5. Insert composite of MMI-board (1020) and RF-and controle module (1010) into
upper case shell (1040).
BEFORE (only for level 2 repairs):
a) Put interconnector (1090) to the frame (1060).
b) Positioning of frame (1060) on the RF- and control module (1010).
c) Place MMI board (1020) on top of frame (1060).
d) Connect RF plug of MMI board (1020) to RF- and control module
(1010).
e) Mount ringer gasket (1080) on the MMI board (1020).
6. Close device with upper case shell (1040). Make sure that the 6 hooks of the
upper case shell fit firmly into the respective slots of the lower case shell
(1050).
7. Screw 3 long flat head screws (1145) (Torx 1,8x12 /Torqe 25 Ncm) into lower
case shell (1050). Close holes with plastic disks (1155) afterwards.
8. Screw 2 short flat head screws (1140) (Torx 1,8x8 /Torqe 25 Ncm) into lower
case shell.

shell.
10. Screw in Antenna (1130) (Torqe 25 Ncm).
11. Insert SIM-Card and battery.
Board Versions

In the S6 mechanical drawing you see a bolt (position 1220) which is holding the
RF&control module and the user interface together. This bolt was mounted only in
the first 100k S6 handsets produced.
The handsets produced later are using different board versions with different part
numbers (see table below!)
If a bolted handset comes back for service and one of the boards is defective, do not
try to separate them. Just send the whole sandwich back to Germany.
Attention!
These numbers are not the spare part ordering numbers, they are manufacturing
numbers printed on the boards itself.
Do not use them for ordering spare parts!

Upper Case Protection
If the bolted boards are used, it
has to be made sure that one
guiding pin in the upper case
shell is removed (see drawing!).
If the pin is not removed, the
case may break!
Attention!
Do not remove the pin if the
unbolted boards are used!
The removal of the pin is simply
done by cutting it off with a sharp
knife or cutter.
Handset Datecodes
Siemens is using the industrial standard DIN EN 60062 to indicate the production /
service dates. The code is printed on the IMEI sticker located under the simcard
reader.
