Remark: on the screen, we can see a normal flicker effect 
 
Note: There is 1 additional screen by pressing volume keys. 
Vol -  additional screen with RFPI 
Vol +  back to the initial screen 
 
This  sets  the  handset  in  a  state  to  list  all  visible  bases  around  it  and/or  chained  to  the  same  base 
station(s).  Handsets  in  site  survey  mode  can  display  up  to  5  base  stations  with  the  strongest  signal 
strength. 
 
In Site Survey Mode the handset MMI shows the RFP (including slave RFP) to which the handset is locked 
to and the corresponding signal strength (RSSI).  
Valid Inputs: On or Off 
 
Legend for the new site survey: 
Line1: Lock State | Frequency | Slot | Base RPN locked  
Line2: RPN (for 5 base stations) 
Line3: RSSI (for 5 base stations) 
Line4: A field CRC error |  X field CRC error | Z field CRC error | No Lock / Lock to: base number 
Line5: Quality index | Slow/Rapid Measurements | Syn error field | Fading 
 
Or when Vol- key pressed: 
Line4: RFPI in octal 
Line5: RFPI in hex 
 
The line contains the list of base stations identified by the handset as 
RPNs of the bases in respect to the signal strength values below. Up to 
5 RPNs can be displayed. 
This indicates the actual signal strength information (RSSI) to the base 
station  the  current  handset  is  locked  to  and  additional  RFPs  visible. 
RSSI unit is -dBm. The RSSI value increases the closer the base is to the 
handset. 
If  the  base  could  not  be  detected,  the  RSSI  value  will  decrease  and 
after  a  while  the  entry  will  be  deleted,  if  e.g.  the  dummy-bearer 
position has changed or the RFP is unreachable.
