After reading section 2 ‘Introduction’ and the first page of section 3 ‘Repair Actions’,
do as follows when a mechanical part needs to be replaced:
•Search for the part name on the contents page and go to the page number
where the instruction is found
•Disassemble the phone as far as needed by moving to the instructions stated as
e.g. Follow the Removal instructions of sections 3.1 – 3.6
•Carry out the actual repair action as described
•Assemble the phone by moving to the instructions stated as
e.g. Follow the Assembly instructions of sections 3.6 – 3.1 (pls. note the reverse order)
When watching the document on-line (connected to
CSPN), most of the Removal/Assembly headings are
blue-coloured and underlined.
By clicking on such a heading, an Internet Explorer
window opens, showing a video clip of the actual
removal/assembly.
To shrink the video window to its proper size, drag the
bottom right corner of the Internet Explorer until the video
is shown without blur and edges, which occurs when the
video window is approx. 12 x 9 cm (indicated by the red
frame in the adjacent picture).
When watching the document off-line (after downloading
and extracting the ZIP-file) and clicking on the heading,
this results in the start of a flash movie.
In this case the window size does not need to be adjusted.
The flash movie can be controlled from the keyboard by
holding down the Ctrl-key and pressing another key as
follows:
- Start and Stop: Ctrl – Enter
- Rewind to start position: Ctrl – R
- Move one small step forward: Ctrl – right arrow
- Move one small step back: Ctrl – left arrow
When watching the movies on-line as well as off-line, Flash Player ver. 6 or later
must be installed on the computer.
The Flash Player can be downloaded free of charge from www.macromedia.com.
