Chapter 1. Introduction
1.Introduction
Welcome to TEMS Pocket.
TEMS Pocket is an advanced cellular network diagnostics tool built into a
Sony Ericsson or Nokia phone. TEMS Pocket is suitable for day-to-day
verification, maintenance and troubleshooting of cellular networks but is also
handy for many cell planning tasks.
This document describes TEMS Pocket 5.3 as implemented in the Sony
Ericsson K800i phone.
1.1.What’s New in TEMS Pocket 5.3
The focus for this release has been to implement TEMS Pocket in the Nokia
N75 supporting WCDMA on 850 and 1900 MHz, and to introduce a low-end
edition (named “Classic”) of the Sony Ericsson-based TEMS Pocket.
In the K800i TEMS Pocket edition described in this document, a number of
bugs have been corrected.
1.2.What Was New in TEMS Pocket 5.2
TEMS Pocket 5.2 was implemented in each of the following mobile phones:
•Sony Ericsson K790i, K790a, and K800i
New features include:
•Support of the Arabic language in Sony Ericsson K790i and K800i phones
•Saving of FTP settings to file
•GPS time added in GPS data view
1.3.What Was New in TEMS Pocket 5.1
TEMS Pocket 5.1 was implemented in each of the following mobile phones:
•Sony Ericsson K790i, K790a, and K800i

Chapter 2. Overview
2.Overview
2.1.Data Views
Most of the data displayed by TEMS Pocket is to be found in data views.
When you turn the phone on the first time it will display the W/G Cells data
view (after you have selected Start phone from the Start-up menu):
On later occasions, when turned on, the phone will display the data view last
inspected, provided that the Pocket functions are activated.
The data views are divided into categories. Each data view is numbered
according to the format “x.y”, where “x” is the category and “y” the position of
the data view within that category. You browse the categories by moving the
navigation key left and right, and the data views within a category by moving
the navigation key up and down. TEMS Pocket remembers the view last
displayed in each category; when you return to a category, that view is
shown.
The top section of the display preserves the ordinary signal strength and
battery power level indicators as well as other symbols belonging to the
regular user interface of the phone. However, it also shows an icon for the
latest TEMS Pocket event that occurred (see section 5.3.4) and a symbol
indicating that a logfile is being recorded (see section 4.3).
If the default phone display with the operator name appears instead of a
TEMS Pocket data view, this is because TEMS Pocket has been put in
LZT 108 9090 R3A3
TEMS Pocket 5.3 User’s Manual – Sony Ericsson K800i
background or inactive mode (see section 4.1). By default TEMS Pocket is in
active mode, and its data views are visible.
The data views are exhaustively described in chapter 3.
2.2.Menus
When you press the Activity key on the phone, a tab with TEMS Pocket
commands appears on top in the Activity menu:
Most of the commands in this menu are found only here. The menu is gone
through in chapter 4.
From the Activity menu you can also access the Pocket menu, which is the
chief means of configuring TEMS Pocket: see chapter 5. The Pocket menu
can alternatively be accessed from the phone’s main menu: Settings
General → Pocket menu.
→
Note: If the phone memory is full, TEMS Pocket settings can no longer
be saved. Remove some files to free up memory.
The Pocket menu is also used to inspect and manage the event log (see
section 5.3.1). A shortcut to the event log is found in the Activity menu.

3.Data Views
3.1.General
3.1.1.General Data View Properties
The data views in category 1 (numbered “1.x”) are capable of showing both
WCDMA and GSM data. Both will appear simultaneously if the phone is
making inter-RAT neighbor measurements.
The data views in category 2 chiefly contain WCDMA-specific data, and those
in category 3 and 4 chiefly contain GSM- and GPRS/EGPRS-specific data.
All data views have the same general structure in idle mode and dedicated/
active mode.
Whenever a parameter is currently not valid, this is indicated in the data view
by a dash “–” or a string of dashes.
Certain parameters are presented both numerically and graphically, the
number appearing on top of a colored bar whose length and color depend on
the parameter value. These parameters are tagged “numeric/graphic” in
sections 3.3–3.19. The rules for the graphic presentation are found in
appendix B, page 89.
In the case of frequency hopping, the hopping list is shown one channel at a
time, a new channel appearing every second.
3.1.2.The Built-in Help Function
If you press More and select “Toggle help”, a callout box appears describing
the piece of data in the top left corner of the screen. Use the navigation key to
navigate the contents of the data view.

•To turn off the help function, press the Return key . Alternatively, press
More and choose Toggle help again.
3.1.3.Data View Actions
In some data views you can perform an action relating to a piece of data
shown in the view. For example, in data views listing cells, you can lock on
one of the cells.
All data view actions are performed by pressing the More button and
choosing Data view actions. A submenu appears listing the available actions.
Specifics on data view actions are found in the subsequent sections.
