Product Overview
Product Overview
Motorola ZN200 mobile telephones feature global system for mobile communications (GSM)
air interface, general packet radio service (GPRS) transport technology, and wireless application
protocol (WAP) Internet browser. The mobile telephone uses a simplified icon and graphical-
based user interface (UI) for easier operation, allows short message service (SMS) text
messaging, and include clock, alarm, datebook, calculator, and caller profiling personal
management tools. The ZN200 is a dual-band phone that allows roaming within the 900 MHz
and digital cellular system (DCS) 1800 MHz, or GSM 850/personal communication system
(PCS) 1900 MHz, depends on hardware.
ZN200 telephones support GPRS and SMS in addition to traditional circuit switched transport
technologies. GPRS, where available, provides substantial increases in mobile data
communications performance and the efficient use of radio spectrum. Data transmission rates
for GSM networks can potentially increase from the current rate of 9.6 kbps up to a theoretical
maximum of 171.2 kbps. An increased data rate is by no means the only benefit provided by
GPRS. A key advantage is the provision of a permanent virtual connection to the network. This
“always on” connection is possible because GPRS uses packet data transfer so that, for example,
email can be downloaded in “background mode.” There is no need for the user to reconnect
before requesting a service, eliminating connection set-up delays and adding convenience and
immediacy to data services access. The “virtual” nature of this connection means that network
resources are not consumed during periods when a user is not actually sending or receiving data.
The telephones are made of polycarbonate plastic. The display and speaker, as well as the 21-
key keypad, transceiver printed circuit board (PCB), microphone, charger and headphone
connectors, and power button are contained within the clamshell form-factor housing. The user-
replaceable 810 mAh Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery provides up to 511 minutes of talk time with
up to 289 hours of standby time1. The phone accepts 3V mini subscriber identity module (SIM)
cards which fit into the SIM holder under the battery. These telephones feature a 176 x 200 pixel
high-resolution color graphics display and an internal antenna.
Features
ZN200 telephones use advanced, self-contained, sealed, custom integrated circuits to perform
the complex functions required for GSM GPRS communication. Aside from the space and
weight advantage, microcircuits enhance basic reliability, simplify maintenance, and provide a
wide variety of operational functions.
Features available in this family of telephones include:
• 176 x 220 262K 1.88’ TFT LCD
•FMRadio
• MP3 Melody
• Supports SMS, concatenated SMS, MMS, instant messaging, and cell broadcast messages2
• Supports GPRS, circuit switched, and SMS networks2
• WAP 2.0

• Bluetooth 2.0
• Personal management tools calculator with currency converter, real time clock with date,
reminders, and caller profiling
1. All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on network configuration, signal strength, and features selected.
Standby times are quoted as a range from DRX=2 to DRX=9. Talk times are quoted as a range from DTX off to DTX on.
2. Network, subscription and SIM card or service provider dependent feature. Not available in all areas.
