1 General

1.1 Phone Portions – Base and Flip

This document uses the hinge of the phone to divide the phone into two portions. The portion of the phone that contains the keypad will be referred to as the base. The portion of the phone that contains the displays will be referred to as the flip. The basic disassembly and reassembly procedures will be structured around these two distinct portions.

1.2 Using Hand and ESD Protection

When handling this product, keep all surfaces clean of dirt, dust, debris, and hand oil. Use appropriate ESD precautions when working on this product. The use of finger cots or gloves, an ESD mat, and an ESD wrist strap are required at minimum.

1.3 Protection of Displays, Lenses, and Windows

Any time the screen portion of a display assembly, the windows of a display cover, or a camera lens is unprotected and exposed, add a protective film over the exposed part to reduce the amount of dust, finger prints, debris, and/or damage that the part may obtain.
