They keys are black with white lettering under clear plastic domes. There is a raised dot on the 5 key for
orientation purposes. The international prefix character, ‘+’, can be obtained with an extended press of the
‘0’ key.
The Yes and No keys are used to originate, answer, and terminate calls as well as to aid in menu
navigation. The No key also serves as the power on/off key. Clr can be used to delete single or multiple
characters from the display.
The arrow keys are used for menu scrolling.
The keypad can be backlit for low-light viewing.
2.3.2 Volume Controls
There are two keys on the side of the phone to allow volume control while on a call. These can be easily
operated with either the index finger or the thumb for right or left handed users.
2.4 Indicator Light
There is a small LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the top of the casing. This light is visible from the front,
sides, and back of the phone and indicates the status of the phone as follows;
•Green, slow-flashing indicates that the phone is in a service area and ready to operate
•Green, steady on indicates that the phone is either ready to operate with the handsfree equipment or is
being charged.
•Green, rapid flashing indicates an incoming call.
•Red, flashing indicates that the battery capacity is too low to place or receive calls.
2.5 Earphone
The built-in pressure chamber earphone acts as a loudspeaker to the user and provides a high quality
audio signal. The volume can be adjusted to six different levels.
2.6 Transducer
There is a transducer located at the top of the casing to provide audio signals in addition to those provided
through the earphone. In particular, the ring signals, various alerts, and informational tones are emitted
from the transducer rather than from the earphone. The ring signal can be selected from a variety of
pitches and durations along with several well-known musical excepts. The melody may also be
programmed by the user. Other alerts include network access, incorrect keypress, and low battery
warning.

2.7 Microphone
The omnidirectional electret condenser microphone is located on the bottom of the case. Noise
cancellation is provided within the signal processing algorithms.
2.8 Antenna
Although designed as a quadrafiler helix design to provide the RHCP (Right Hand Circular Polarization) for
the Satellite mode, it can be driven as a monopole when operating in AMPS mode.
2.9 External Connector
A 14-pin external connector is provided at the bottom of the phone casing. It allows connection to the
mobile office solutions for data and FAX capabilities, to battery chargers, and to hands-free accessories. It
is also used for reprogramming the phones FLASH and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read Only Memory) memories. Furthermore, it can be connected to either a PC (using a special cable) or
Log Plug test unit to log debug information output by the phone.
2.10 SIM Card
This phone accepts the 3V mini-SIM (Subscriber Interface Module) card. The SIM holder is located on the
back of the phone underneath the battery. SIMs can be easily accessed in this area. A SIM is not required
for AMPS operation.
3Performance
3.1 Standby Time
The UT is required to have a standby time of 30.5 hours in Satellite mode when using a 700 mAh battery.
It is anticipated that this time will be between 50 and 60 hours. Estimated standby time while in AMPS
mode is 13-14 hours.
3.2 Talk Time
The UT is required to have 2.5 hours of talk time when under 50% DTX conditions in Satellite mode. This
time is estimated using a 700 mAh battery. The actual talk time will likely by 3.6 hours for Satellite.
Estimated talk time while in AMPS mode is 1 hour and 10 minutes.
3.3 Charging Time
Estimated battery charging time is less than two hours.
