Troubleshooting Summary
If TX power is low, turn on transmitter in local mode using Phoenix. Check:

1 Current (0.7 - 1 A for max power, mode and channel dependent),

2 Perform visual inspection of PWB under microscope to check proper placement,
rotation, and soldering of components.

3 Look for presence of TX signal on spectrum analyzer at the correct frequency. If
signal is not on frequency, check in 100 MHz span. If signal is present but off fre-
quency, check synthesizer. If signal is not present, or present but low in ampli-
tude, use probing Tables 1 through 7 to determine where in the chain the fault
occurs, with AGC PDMs set for known transmit power as listed in Table 1.

4 Check that AGC PDMs are set for desired TX power according to Table 1 and
ensure AGC voltages are correct.

5 According to Tables 2 and 3 (cell/AMPs), check the LOs for proper frequency and
amplitude.

6 Ensure power supplies to transmitter have correct voltage, as per Table 13.

If Receiver is not working properly, turn on receiver in local mode using Phoenix and
check:

1 Turn on receiver with Phoenix, inject a signal into the receiver.

2 Check the RSSI level and AGC PDM according to Table 8.

3 Perform a visual inspection of the PWB under a microscope to check proper
placement, rotation, and soldering of components.

4 Use probing Tables 8 through 12 to measure signal levels of various points in the
chain and determine where in the chain the fault lies.

5 According to Tables 9, 10, and 12 check the LOs for proper frequency and ampli-
tude.

6 Ensure power supplies to receiver have correct voltage as per Table 13.

Tuning Description

Test 1 TS Initial Current

Description
Check initial current consumption at start-up to make sure phone is consuming correct
amount of current.

Explanation of Result
Phones current consumption is measured and should be between 5mA and 100 mA.

Manual Verification
Check using Power Supply and Multimeter, example follows. Power Off phone and follow
setup below to verify if phone's current consumption is correct.

1 Positive Banana connector on Test Fixture to Power Supply +

2 Ground Banana connector on Test Fixture to | on Multimeter

3 Jumper cable between Power Supply (-) and Multimeter (input low)

4 Set Multimeter to measure current (DC|)

5 Multimeter should have an initial reading, this is the current being drawn by the
Text Fixture. Null out the Multimeter to Zero the reading.

6 Place phone in Test Fixture

7 Press Power key to turn phone on

8 Observe current draw at Multimeter. It should be between 5.0mA and 100.0mA.

Troubleshooting
If phone drains all available current:

Check VBAT and do a visual inspection of all baseband ICs including orientation. VBAT
supplies the D200 (UEM), N603 (Tomcat), N801 (PA), X101, N100, B302, M300, N300,
and X470.

If the phone has initial current consumption at start-up then powers down:

If, after a few seconds, all circuits power down, it is normally caused because the watch-
dog signal between UEM (200) and UPP (D400) has expired. Watchdog is used by the
phone for fault detection.
