General instructions for transmitter troubleshooting

Connect the phone to a PC, which has Phoenix Service Software and a dongle installed,
using either
Repair jig and DAU-9S (RS232) cable or
DAU-9T cable (RS232) or
DKU-5 cable (USB).
Connect the phone to a power supply (DC voltage of 3.9V) and switch the phone on.
The value of the DC voltage of 3.9V at the phone battery connector is crucial.
Attention: When repairing or tunning transmitter use external DC supply with at least 3A
current capability.
Connect an RF cable between the test jig and the measurement equipment (GSM test
equipment, power meter, spectrum analyzer, or similar).
Make use of an adequate attenuator at the input of your measurement equipment (10dB
to 20dB are recommended for a spectrum analyzer or a power meter). Additionally, a DC
block is recommended. Assure not to overload or destroy the equipment.
Start Phoenix Service Software and open FBUS connection:
Select->Scan Product->Ctrl-R
and wait until phone information is shown in the lower right corner of the screen.

presses the TX harmonics generated by the PA. The antenna switch is a controlled by the
RF ASIC using the control signals VANT1, VANT2 and VANT3.
