FOREWORD

1. SCOPE OF MANUAL
This manual is intended for use by experienced technicians familiar with similar types of equipment. It contains all service information
required for the equipment described and is current as of the printing date. Major changes which occur after the printing date are
incorporated by Cellular Manual Revisions (CMR). These CMR’s are added to the manuals as the engineering change is incorporated
into the equipment.

2. MODEL AND KIT IDENTIFICATION

Motorola equipments are specifically identified by an overall model number on the nameplate. In most cases, assemblies and kits
which make up the equipment also have kit model numbers stamped on them. When a production or engineering change is incorporated,
the applicable schematic diagrams are updated.

MOTOROLA SERVICE POLICY (DCS 1800) StarTAC

Warranty:
Product will be sold with the standard 12 months warranty terms and conditions.

Accidental damage, misuse, and retailers extended warranties will not be supported under warranty. Non warranty repairs
will be available at agreed fixed repair prices. Proof of purchase will be required to validate warranty claims.

Core Product:
Motorola only branded product will be supported under a Low tier DCS Loaner program or alternative low cost service
strategy (To be agreed with the European Customer Service Managers). The customers original telephone will be repaired
but not refurbished as standard.
Appointed Motorola Service hubs may perform both Warranty and Non Warranty field service for Level 2 (module repair)
and 3 (Limited component). The Motorola HTC’s will perform full Level 4 (full pcb component level) repairs.
Customer support (End User):
This will be available through the operator own dedicated Call Centres and In Country Help Desks. Operators will be
supported as required by the local Motorola Country Service Manager.
Product Service training should be arranged through the local Motorola National Support Centre.

REPLACEMENT PARTS ORDERING

ORDERING INFORMATION
Only centres authorized by Motorola to carry out repairs will be able to purchase spare parts. Orders for spare parts from
HUB’s, Motorola National Support Centres and Hi-Tech Centres, should be placed with the appropriate Motorola Parts
Distribution Centre.

BOARD REPAIRS

All centres authorized to carry out module level repairs, must return faulty boards to the appropriate HUB or Motorola Hi-
Tech Centre for repair to component level.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

PORTABLE OPERATION:
DO NOT hold the radio so that the aerial is very close to, or touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the
face or eyes whilst transmitting. The radio will perform best if it is held in the same manner as you would hold
a ‘land’ telephone handset, with the aerial angled up and over your shoulder.

DO NOT operate the portable phone in an aircraft. Switch off your telephone. The use of a cellular telephone
in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the Cellular Network, and is illegal.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to a suspension or denial of Cellular Telephone Service to the
offender, or legal action, or both.

MOBILE/PORTABLE OPERATION - Telephone use in Vehicles:

All equipment must be properly grounded according to installation instructions for safe operation.

Users are advised to turn off their equipment when at a refuelling point.

Safety is every drivers business. Cellular telephones should only be used in situations in which the driver
considers it safe to do so.

GENERAL:

DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter.

DO NOT operate this equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. Mobile telephones
are, under certain conditions, capable of interfering with blasting operations. When you are in the vicinity of such
work, look out for and observe signs cautioning against mobile radio transmission. If transmission is prohibited,
you must turn off your mobile telephone to prevent any transmission.

In standby mode the mobile telephone will automatically transmit to acknowledge a call if it is not turned off.

Refer to the appropriate section of the product user manual for additional pertinent safety information

All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician.

3. TESTING PROCEDURE

All information required to perform the desired tests and measurements should be obtained from the communication analyser’s
user manual.

Ensure that the unit being tested is capable of both initiating a call to the analyser, and receiving a call from the analyser.
Confirm that the displayed Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI), International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI),
and dialled number are correct. When a call is in progress the following tests should be carried out on channels 512, 700
and 885. The recorded results must be within the acceptable stated limits, if the unit being tested passes all the tests it should
be taken as functioning correctly. If the unit being tested fails to conform with any of the expected measurements, it should be
taken as faulty and repaired accordingly. The following table states the required tests and tolerances.

TEST TO BE PERFORMED LOWER LIMIT UPPER LIMIT

Transmit average phase error (RMS) at peak power 5

Transmit average phase error (Peak) at peak power 20

Transmit average frequency error at peak power -180 Hz +180 Hz

Transmit power error at level 0 (30 dBm)on CH700 -2 dB +2 dB

Transmit power error at level 5 (20 dBm)on CH 700 -3 dB +3 dB

Transmit power error at level 10 (10 dBm)on CH 700 -4 dB +4 dB

Transmit power error at max and min power on CH 512 -3 dB +3 dB

Transmit power error at max and min power on CH 885 -3 dB +3 dB

Transmit burst mask at max and min power Within DCS specification envelope

Receive Bit Error Test for Class II Residual (at -102 dBm)4 2%

Receive Frame Erasure Rate for RES II (at -102 dBm)4 0.12%

Receive level (Rx_LEV) indication at -100 dBm -104 dB -96 dB

Receive level (Rx_LEV) indication at -45 dBm -49dB -41 dB

Receive Quality (Rx_QUAL) indication for Rx_LEV tests not above 2

Note: 1. The transmit average test values should be derived from 10 separate readings.
2. The receive signal strength for transmit measurements should be -85 dBm.
3. The receive test values should be derived from the reception of 20K bits of data.

Allow for the loss between the antenna port and the RF SMA connector on the test adaptor. The test
specifications are written for the power levels at the antenna
