Acoustics troubleshootingIntroduction to acoustics troubleshootingAcoustics design ensures that the sound is detected correctly with a microphone and properly radiated tothe outside of the device by speaker(s). The acoustics of the phone includes three basic systems: earpiece,Integrated Hands Free (IHF) and microphone.The sound reproduced from the earpiece readiates through a single hole on the front cover (A-cover). Thesound reproduced from the IHF speakers radiates from left and right sound holes located on both sides ofthe device. Microphone is located at the bottom, next to the system connector.For a correct functionality of the phone, all sound holes must be always open. When the phone is used, caremust be taken not to close any of those holes with a hand or fingers. The phone should be dry and clean,and no objects must be located in such a way that they close any of the holes.RM-179; RM-223Baseband TroubleshootingPage 3 –50 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Issue 1Copyright © 2007 Nokia.
