Level 1 and 2 Service Manual Product Overview
Product Overview
Motorola V360 telephones represent some of the most compact and lightweight
global system for mobile communications (GSM) general packet radio service
(GPRS) wireless application protocol (WAP)-enabled mobile phones. The V360
phones incorporate an easy to use graphic user interface (GUI) for easier operation,
allows short message service (SMS) text messaging, and includes personal
information manager (PIM) functionality.
The V360 is a quad-band phone that allows roaming within the GSM 850 MHz,
GSM 900 MHz, 1800 MHz digital cellular system (DCS), and 1900 MHz PCS bands.
V360 telephones support GPRS, EDGE, SMS, EMS, and MMS in addition to
traditional circuit switched transport technologies. GPRS or EDGE, 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 (GPRS) or 384 kbps (EDGE). An increased data
rate is by no means the only benefit provided by GPRS/EDGE. A key advantage is
the provision of a permanent virtual connection to the network. This “always on”
connection is possible because GPRS/EDGE 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. Multimedia messaging allows
the end user to send photos along with personalized voice messages.
V360 telephones have a clam form factor. They feature an externally viewable 96
x 80 pixel grayscale display for caller identification and date/time, an internal 176
x 220 pixel 64K TFT display, and the speaker located in the flip. The bottom part
of the clam (front housing) contains the keypad, transceiver printed circuit board
(PCB), microphone, flex connection, external accessory connector, smart button,
volume buttons, and voice button. The standard 810 mAh Lithium Ion (Li Ion)
battery fits behind a removable back cover.
The phone accepts both 3V and 1.8V mini subscriber identity module (SIM) cards
which fit into the SIM holder next to the battery. The antenna is mounted internally.
Inexpensive direct connection to a computer or handheld device via USB or
Bluetooth® for data and fax calls, and for synchronizing phonebook entries with
Mobile Phone Tools software, can be accomplished by using the optional data cable
and soft modem.
Features
V360 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:
• GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GPRS (2U/4D)
• Built in VGA Camera (640x480 pixels)
• 64K Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Active Color Display
•External CLI Display
• Polyphonic Speaker
