Antenna troubleshooting 
All antennas are painted and therefore the radiators are visible only around contact areas. Check the areas 
where the springs touch the radiator for mechanical damage. If the antenna, LDS radiator of the feed pad 
on antenna looks obviously damaged, replace the entire antenna assembly. If replacing the antenna 
assembly does not correct the problem, check for further mechanical damage and repair. 
The antennas and PWB are connected by spring. Inspect the PWB for damage to any of the antenna and 
spring, if the spring are missing or are obviously damaged (i.e. deformed), the clips must be replaced with 
new ones. 
If corrosion is present on the PWB or the antenna contact areas are corroded, most likely the PWB and/or 
the phone need to be replaced. If the antenna contact areas are obstructed or covered, the contact areas 
should be cleaned or the entire antenna assembly replaced.
