Warnings
• IF THE DEVICE CAN BE INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE, CARE MUST BE TAKEN ON INSTALLATION IN VEHICLES FITTED
WITH ELECTRONIC ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND ANTI-SKID BRAKING SYSTEMS. UNDER CERTAIN FAULT
CONDITIONS, EMITTED RF ENERGY CAN AFFECT THEIR OPERATION. IF NECESSARY, CONSULT THE VEHICLE DEALER/
MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE THE IMMUNITY OF VEHICLE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TO RF ENERGY.
• THE PRODUCT MUST NOT BE OPERATED IN AREAS LIKELY TO CONTAIN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES,
FOR EXAMPLE, PETROL STATIONS (SERVICE STATIONS), BLASTING AREAS ETC.
• OPERATION OF ANY RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING CELLULAR TELEPHONES, MAY INTERFERE
WITH THE FUNCTIONALITY OF INADEQUATELY PROTECTED MEDICAL DEVICES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN OR THE
MANUFACTURER OF THE MEDICAL DEVICE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. OTHER ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT MAY
ALSO BE SUBJECT TO INTERFERENCE.
• BEFORE MAKING ANY TEST CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SWITCHED OFF ALL EQUIPMENT.
Cautions
• Servicing and alignment must be undertaken by qualified personnel only.
• Ensure all work is carried out at an anti-static workstation and that an anti-static wrist strap is worn.
• Ensure solder, wire, or foreign matter does not enter the telephone as damage may result.
• Use only approved components as specified in the parts list.
• Ensure all components, modules, screws and insulators are correctly re-fitted after servicing and
alignment.
• Ensure all cables and wires are repositioned correctly.
• Never test a mobile phone WCDMA transmitter with full Tx power, if there is no possibility to perform the
measurements in a good performance RF-shielded room. Even low power WCDMA transmitters may disturb
nearby WCDMA networks and cause problems to 3G cellular phone communication in a wide area.
• During testing never activate the GSM or WCDMA transmitter without a proper antenna load, otherwise
GSM or WCDMA PA may be damaged.
QUALIFIED SERVICE
Only qualified personnel may install or repair phone equipment.
ESD protection
Nokia requires that service points have sufficient ESD protection (against static electricity) when servicing
the phone.
Any product of which the covers are removed must be handled with ESD protection. The SIM card can be
replaced without ESD protection if the product is otherwise ready for use.
To replace the covers ESD protection must be applied.
All electronic parts of the product are susceptible to ESD. Resistors, too, can be damaged by static electricity
discharge.
All ESD sensitive parts must be packed in metallized protective bags during shipping and handling outside
any ESD Protected Area (EPA).
Every repair action involving opening the product or handling the product components must be done under
ESD protection.
ESD protected spare part packages MUST NOT be opened/closed out of an ESD Protected Area.
For more information and local requirements about ESD protection and ESD Protected Area, contact your local
Nokia After Market Services representative.
Battery information
Note: A new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles!
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the
operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge the battery only with the chargers
approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to
a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused a fully charged
battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
For good operation times with Ni-Cd/NiMh batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving the
product switched on until it turns itself off (or by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory
available for the product). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or
pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery) for example
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery
or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce
the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°
F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as household waste.

Key components
Context
This means that the phone does not use any current at all when the supply is connected and/or power key
is pressed. It is assumed that the voltage supplied is 3.6VDC. The Liteplus will prevent any functionality at
battery/supply levels below 2.9VDC.
Troubleshooting flow
Context
If this kind of failure is presenting itself immediately after FLALI, it is most likely caused by ASIC's missing
contact with PWB.
If the MCU doesn’t service the watchdog register within the Liteplus, the operations watchdog will run out
after approximately 32 seconds. Unfortunately, the service routine can not be measured.
Troubleshooting flow
Context
The flash programming can be done via the pads on the PWB (J2060). If failed, then follow up the trouble
shooting flow chart.
In case of flash failure in the FLALI station, swap the phone and send it back to the care program for further
analysis. Possible failures could be short-circuit of balls under µBGAs (Liteplus, UPP8M, FLASH), or missing or
misaligned components.
In flash programming error cases, the flash prommer can give some information about a fault. The fault
information messages could be:
Phone doesn't set FBUS_TX line low
Because of the use of uBGA components, it is not possible to verify if there is a short circuit in the control and
address lines of MCU (UPP8M) and the memory (flash).
Troubleshooting flow
Context
The flash programming can be done via the easy flash connector. If failed, then follow up the trouble shooting
below.
It is not possible to verify if there is a short circuit in control and address lines of MCU (UPP8M) and memory
(flash) because BGA package is used in RM-512_513_514_515_543.
Troubleshooting flow
Troubleshooting flow
This error can only happen at power up where several self-tests are run. If any of these test cases fails the
display will show the message: "Contact Service".
They are individual test cases, so the below lineup of error hunting's has no chronological order. Use common
sense and experience to decide which test case to start error hunting at.
The phone does not register to the networks, or the phone cannot make a call
Context
If the phone doesn't register to the network, the fault can be in either BB or RF. Only few signals can be tested
since several signals are 'buried' in one or more of the inner layers of the PWB.
First, check that SIM LOCK is not causing the error by using a Test-SIM card and connect the phone to a tester.
Troubleshooting flow
Troubleshooting flow
The hardware of the SIM interface from Liteplus (D2200) to the SIM connector (X2700) can be tested without
a SIM card. When the power is switched on the phone first check for a 1.8V SIM card and then a 3V SIM card.
The phone will try this four times, where after it will display ”Insert SIM card”.
User interface
Blank display
Context
The display does not show any information at all. For display blank, refer to troubleshooting flow below.
Troubleshooting flow
Corrupted display
Context
The display contains missing or fading segments, or color presentation is incorrect.

Dead keys
Context
One or more keys has no function.

Terms
Dynamic range Camera's ability to capture details in dark and bright areas of the scene
simultaneously.
Exposure time Camera modules use silicon sensor to collect light and for forming an
image. The imaging process roughly corresponds to traditional film
photography, in which exposure time means the time during which the
film is exposed to light coming through optics. Increasing the time will
allow for more light hitting the film and thus results in brighter image. The
operation principle is exactly the same with silicon sensor, but the shutter
functionality is handled electronically i.e. there is no mechanical moving
parts like in film cameras.
Flicker Phenomenon, which is caused by pulsating in scene lighting, typically
appearing as wide horizontal stripes in an image.
Noise Variation of response between pixels with same level of input illumination.
Resolution Usually the amount of pixels in the camera sensor; for example,
RM-512/513 has a 640 x 480 pixel sensor resolution. In some occasions the
term resolution is used for describing the sharpness of the images.
Distance to target
The lens in the module is specified to operate satisfactorily from 30 cm to infinite distance of scene objects.
In practice, the operation is such that close objects may be noticed to get more blurred when distance to
them is shorter than 30 cm. The lack of sharpness is first visible in full resolution images. If observing just
the viewfinder, even very close objects may seem to appear sharp. This is normal; do not change the camera
module.
Figure 96 Near objects get skewed when taking images from a moving vehicle
Temperature
High temperatures inside the mobile phone cause more noise to appear in images. For example, in +70
degrees (Celsius), the noise level may be very high, and it further grows if the conditions are dim. If the phone
processor has been heavily loaded for a long time before taking an image, the phone might have considerably
higher temperature inside than in the surrounding environment. This is also normal to camera operation;
do not change the camera module.
Phone display
If the display contrast is set too dark, the image quality degrades: the images may be very dark depending
on the setting. If the display contrast is set too bright, image contrast appears bad and "faint". This problem
is solved by setting the display contrast correctly. This is normal behaviour; do not change the camera module.
Flicker
In some occasions a bright fluorescent light may cause flicker in the viewfinder and captured image. This
phenomenon may also be a result, if images are taken indoors under the mismatch of 50/60 Hz electricity
network frequency. The electricity frequency used is automatically detected by the camera module. In some
very few countries, both 50 and 60 Hz networks are present and thus probability for the phenomenon
increases. Flickering occurs also under high artificial illumination level. This is normal behaviour; do not
change the camera module.
Camera construction
This section describes the mechanical construction of the camera module for getting a better understanding
of the actual mechanical structure of the module.
The camera module as a component is not a repairable part, meaning that the components inside the module
may not be changed. Cleaning dust from the front face is allowed only. Use clean compressed air.
The camera module uses socket type connecting. For versioning, laser marked serial numbering is used on
the PWB.
The main parts of the module are:
• Lens unit including lens aperture.
• Infrared filter; used to prevent infrared light from contaminating the image colours. The IR filter is glued
to the EMI shielded camera body.
• Camera body; made of conductive metallized plastic and attached to the PWB with glue.
• Sensor array including DSP functions is glued and wire-bonded to the PWB.
• PWB, FR-4 type
• Passive components
• Camera protection window; part of the phone cover mechanics
• Dust gasket between the lens unit and camera protection window
In Service software press “Read”, and the Camera Configuration window shows available DCC data file name
and its version to upload. If the previous camera configuration was the same as installed, then Current
Configuration Version displays DCC data version currently in the terminal memory, otherwise it shows xxx.xxx.
Press “Upload” and then the DCC data settings are updated.
If large dust particles get trapped on top of the lens surface in the cavity between camera window and lens,
they will cause image blurring and poor contrast. The dust gasket between the window and lens should
prevent any particles from getting into the cavity after the manufacturing phase. Dust in this position should
be blown away by using compressed air.
Unauthorized disassembling of the product can also be the root of the problem. However, in most cases it
should be possible to remove the particle(s) by using clean compressed air. Never wipe the lens surface before
trying compressed air; the possibility of damaging the lens is substantial. Always check the image sharpness
after removing dust.
5 The protection window is defective. This can be either a manufacturing failure or caused by the user. The
window should be changed.
6 The camera lens is misfocused because of a manufacturing error.
7 Very high level of digital zoom is used
A quantitative analysis of sharpness is very difficult to conduct in any other environment than optics
laboratory. Therefore, subjective analysis should be used.
If no visible defects (items 1-4) are found, a couple of test images should be taken. Generally, a well-
illuminated typical indoor scene can be used as a target. The main considerations are:
• The protection window has to be clean.
• The amount of light (300 – 600 lux (bright office lighting)) is sufficient.
• The scene should contain, for example, small objects for checking sharpness. Their distance should be 1
– 2 meters.
• If possible, compare the image to another image of the same scene, taken with a different device. Note
that the reference device has to be a similar Nokia phone.
Steps
1. Take several images of small objects in the distance of 1-2 metres.
2. Analyse the images on a PC screen at 100% scaling with the reference images.
Pay attention to the computer display settings: at least 65000 colors (16-bit) have to be used. True colour
(24-bit, 16 million colours) or 32-bit (full colour) setting is recommended.
Next actions
If there appears to be a clearly noticeable difference between the reference image and the test images, the
module might have a misfocused lens -> change the module.
Re-check the resolution after changing the camera module.
If the changed module produces the same result, the fault is probably in the camera window. Check the
window by looking carefully through it when replacing the module.
Figure 107 Image taken with clean protection window Figure 108 Image taken with greasy protection window
Usually bit errors can be easily detected in images, and they are best visible in full resolution images. A good
practice is to use a uniform white test target when analysing these errors. The errors are clearly visible,
colourful sharp dots or lines in camera images. See the following figure.
One type of bit error is a lack of bit depth. In this case, the image is almost totally black under normal
conditions, and only senses something in very highly illuminated environments. Typically this is a contact
problem between the camera module and the phone main PWB. Very black images and viewfinder may also
be caused by failure of the 2.8V supply to the camera. You should check the camera assembly and connector
contacts.
If the fault is in the camera module, bit errors are typically visible only when using some specific image
resolution. For example, in case of a viewfinder fault, the error might exist but is not visible in a full size
image.
Context
If you get a hardware failure message when using the camera, follow the next troubleshooting flowchart.

Baseband description
Functional description
The BB core is based on UPP8M CPU. UPP8M takes care of all the signal processing and operation controlling
tasks of the mobile device. For power management, there is one main ASIC for controlling charging and
supplying power Liteplus plus a discrete power supply. The main reset for the system is generated by the
Liteplus. The memory comprises of 256 Mbit flash and 32 Mbit PsRAM. memory devices that are stacked on
top of each other in a single Combo package.
The interface to the RF and audio sections is also handled by the Liteplus. This ASIC provides A/D and D/A
conversion of the in-phase and quadrature receive and transmit signal paths and also A/D and D/A conversions
of received and transmitted audio signals. Data transmission between Liteplus and RF and the UPP8M is
implemented using different serial connections (CBUS, DBUS and RFBUS). Digital speech processing is handled
by UPP8M ASIC.
A real time clock function is integrated into Liteplus, which utilizes the same 32 kHz-clock source as the sleep
clock. The SLCK/RTC runs all time when the phone battery is connected. It is running also when the phone is
switched off. In Liteplus there is no back up battery/capacitor connection.
There are three audio transducers in the product; 16 mm speaker, an earpiece and a microphone. The earpiece
is used to generate audios for earpiece; the speaker is used to generate audios for IHF and ringing tones. A
separate audio amplifier drives the speaker. There is only one microphone for both HS and IHF modes.
The display is an TFT type color display with 65536 colors and 128 x 160 pixels with backlighting. The keypad
module features a function keymat with a 4-way navigation key with a center selection key.
UPP
UPP (Universal Phone Processor) is the digital ASIC of the DCT4 generation base band. UPP8M includes 4.5
MBit internal RAM, 16/32-bit RISC MCU core. UPP8Mv6.4 includes ARM7TDMI rev4 16/32-bit RISC MCU core, TI
Lead3 16-bit DSP phase2+ core with DMA controller, ROM for MCU boot code and all digital control logic.
Memory
This mobile uses two kinds of memories, Flash and PSRAM. These memories have are sharing the same bus
interface to UPP8M. SDRAM is used as the working memory. The PSRAM size is 32 Mbits.
PSRAM I/O is 1.8 V and core 1.8 V supplied by LitePlus regulator VIO. All memory contents are lost if the supply
voltage is switched off.
Multiplexed flash memory interface is used to store the MCU program code and user data.
Configuration of flash memory is a 256 Mbit NOR flash memory. Flash I/O and core voltage are 1.8 V.
Liteplus
The Liteplus is a low cost energy management ASIC contains for BB use two 2.78V LDO regulators, 1.8V linear
regulator, programmable 1.0 - 1.5 V linear regulator and 1.8/3.0 V LDO regulator. For RF use Liteplus has five
2.78 V LDOs. In addition, the Liteplus contains audio codec, A/D converters, RF converters, many drivers, etc.
External regulators
White LED Driver solution is implemented with DC/DC converter. The driver circuit is controlled by Liteplus
output pin KDLIGHT.
Energy management
Filter components
The master of EM control is Liteplus and with SW it has the main control of the system voltages and operating
modes. The power distribution diagram is presented in the illustration below.
All connectors going to the “outside world” have filter components, ESD protection and EMC reduction.
The Digital/Data lines on SIM have special dedicated filter ASIP. The below figure show the SIM filtering.
The Audio circuit: Earpiece, IHF, internal microphone and external speaker are filtered with discrete
components (common mode reduction coils, Varistors, caps and resistors), where as the external microphone
uses differential mode mic. ASIP
The 16 Liteplus BB & RF regulators are specified to have a decoupling cap of 1.5µF±20%.
Modes of operation
BB4.0 Liteplus base band has five different functional modes, which are defined in Liteplus specification:
• No supply: In NO_SUPPLY mode, the phone has no supply voltage. This mode is due to disconnection of
main battery or low battery voltage level in battery. Phone is exiting from NO_SUPPLY mode when sufficient
battery voltage level is detected. Battery voltage can rise either by connecting a new battery with VBAT >
VMSTR+ or by connecting charger and charging the battery above VMSTR+.
• Acting Dead: If the phone is off when the charger is connected, the phone is powered on but enters a state
called ”Acting Dead”. To the user, the phone acts as if it was switched off. A battery charging alert is given
and/or a battery charging indication on the display is shown to acknowledge the user that the battery is
being charged.
• Active: In the Active mode the phone is in normal operation, scanning for channels, listening to a base
station, transmitting and processing information. There are several sub-states in the active mode
depending on if the phone is in burst reception, burst transmission, if DSP is working etc.
In Active mode the RF regulators are controlled by SW writing into Liteplus’s registers wanted settings:
VR regulators can be disabled, enabled or forced into low quiescent current mode. VR2 is always enabled
in Active mode for system clock chain supply
• Sleep: In sleep mode VCTCXO is shut down and 32 kHz sleep clock oscillator is used as reference clock for
the base band.
• Charging: Charging can be performed in any operating mode. The battery type / size is indicated by a
resistor inside the battery pack. The resistor value corresponds to a specific battery capacity. This capacity
value is related to the battery technology as different capacity values are achieved by using different
battery technology. The battery voltage, temperature, size and current are measured by the Liteplus and
controlled by the charging software running in the UPP. The charging control circuitry (CHACON) inside the
Liteplus controls the charging current delivered from the charger to the battery. The battery voltage rise
is limited by turning the Liteplus switch off when the battery voltage has reached 4.2 V. Charging current
is monitored by measuring the voltage drop across a 220 mohm resistor. The PWM output doesn’t exist
any more from Liteplus to the bottom connector
Voltage limits
Table 6 Voltage limits
Liteplus supports three microphone inputs and two outputs. The inputs can be used for internal, headset or
handsfree microphones. The microphone signals from different sources are connected to separate inputs at
the Liteplus ASIC. The inputs and outputs are all differential.
Three inputs (MIC1, MIC2) and two outputs (EAR, HF) are used in the phone.
MIC1P/MIC1N inputs are used for the internal microphone, using single-ended biasing circuitry. EARP/EARN
outputs from Liteplus are used for hand-portable mode.
Uplink external audio (headset as well as carkit) is connected to MIC2P/MIC2N, while downlink audio is
provided via the HF outputs from Liteplus. A special situation exists since the carkit can be used with two
different microphones: either the phone's internal microphone (MIC1-inputs) or an external microphone that
connects to the carkit. In these cases Liteplus is capable of switching between MIC1 and MIC2.
The audio control is taken care of by Liteplus, which contains the MCU and audio codec. UPP contains DSP
blocks, and handling and processing of the audio signals.
Input and output selection, and gain control is performed inside Liteplus. DTMF-tones and other audio tones
are generated and encoded by UPP and transmitted to Liteplus for decoding.

Keyboard
A 5 X 4 matrix keyboad consists of 21 keys, one 10-channel integrated passive filter arrays with downstream
ESD protection of >8KV connect the matrix keyboard to UPP.
SIM interface
The Liteplus contains the SIM interface logic level shifting. The SIM interface can be programmed to support
3V and 1.8V SIMs. SIM supply voltage is selected by with register in the Liteplus. It is only allowed to change
the SIM supply voltage when the SIM IF is powered down.
The SIM power up/down sequence is generated in the Liteplus. This means that the Liteplus generates the
RST signal to the SIM. In addition, the SIMCardDet signal is connected to Liteplus. The detection is taken from
the BSI signal, which detects the removal of the battery. The monitoring of the BSI signal is done by a
comparator inside Liteplus. The comparator offset is such that the comparator outputs do not alter state as
long as the battery is connected. The threshold voltage is calculated from the battery size specifications.
The SIM interface is powered up when the SIMCardDet signal indicates ”card in”. This signal is derived from
the BSI signal.

RF description

GPRS MSC 10 (4Dn/2Up), sum=5
E-GPRS MSC 6 in DL, max. 3Dn
From the antenna, the received RF-signal is fed into the front-end module, which routes the signal to the
appropriate RX path. After the FEM, the RX signals are filtered by SAW filters (one for each band), which reject
the out-of band blocking signals to low enough level to be handled by the RF ASIC.
There are two paths – one for each band. In each path, the signal is then fed to the low noise amplifier (LNA).
One LNA can handle both the GSM850 and GSM900 signals and another is used for GSM1800 and GSM1900.
The LNA inputs are matched to the SAW filter outputs by means of discrete LC matching networks. The SAW
filters and the matching networks are different for different band combinations, but the PWB layout is the
same for both 850/1900 and 900/1800 versions.
The RX front-end circuitry contains the LNA and the quadrature down converting mixers. The front-end gain
is programmable so that the gain can be reduced in strong-signal conditions. The mixers at each signal path
convert the RF signal directly down to baseband I/Q signals. Local oscillator signals for the mixers are
generated by an on-chip VCO.
The output signals (I/Q) of each demodulator are all differential. They are combined to two differential signal
paths, one for I-channel and one for Q-channel, common for all bands. The baseband RX signals are then fed
into a 3rd order active blocking filter, which has programmable gain. One of the three poles is implemented
by an off-chip capacitor connected directly between the mixer outputs. There are a total of two off-chip
capacitors, one for I-channel and one for Q-channel, respectively.
After the blocking filter, the signal is fed into a buffer amplifier, which also has programmable gain. Around
the amplifier there is the first DC-offset compensation block, which removes most of the cumulated DC offset
so far. The DC offset compensation method is based on digital successive approximation technique.
The next block in the RX chain is a switched-capacitor (SC) channel filter, which provides the close-in selectivity
for the analog receiver. Because the SC-filter is insensitive to the IC process tolerances, no production
calibration of the filter is necessary. The SC-filter operates on 6.5 MHz clock, which is generated by dividing
the 26 MHz reference clock by four.
After the SC-filter there is a continuous-time smoothing filter which attenuates the alias signals generated
by the sampling process inherent in the SC-filter. The smoothing filter also has programmable gain.
The next block is a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), which has the second DC-offset compensation block
around it. The DC-offset compensation method is again based on digital successive approximation technique.
The last block in the analog receiver is an output buffer amplifier, which feeds the differential I/Q signals off-
chip to be A/D converted in the digital baseband.
