174 the network about its location
175 (makes a <a href="faq_net1.html#PLU">PLU</a>). 'bbb' counter means time from
176 last update and can be a value from 1 to 'ccc' (where 1 means 6 minutes, 2 -
177 2 * 6 min = 12 min, etc.). This counter is also cleared after each connection,
178 sending/receiving SMS or requesting a network services - for example call
179 diverting (but the counters from <b><a href="faq_net5.html#Menu64">Menu 10-64</a></b>

184 ccc - max T3212 counter value: period of time, after which the phone sends
185 information about its location - makes a <a href="faq_net1.html#PLU">PLU</a>
186 (range from 1 to 240, where 1 means 6 min between updates and 240 means
187 24 hours (240*6min)). This value is received from the network (if it is 0,
188 the network doesn't require information about phone location). For Polish
189 networks <a href="http://www.eragsm.pl">Era GSM</a> and
190 <a href="http://www.plusgsm.pl">Plus GSM</a> it's equal 30 (3h), for
191 <a href="http://www.idea.centertel.pl/">Idea</a> 2h. Displayed normally
192 even, when SIM card is not active.
196 d - Paging Repeat Period, sometimes called DRX (Dincontinuous Receive):
197 period of time, after which the phone turns its receiver on to check whether
198 someone is calling us (range from 2 to 9 - the higher, the longer time between
199 these checks so the phone uses less power:
200 PRP=2 means about 0.95 s, a PRP=9 equal 4.25 s.).
201 Interesting thing is that max standby times are usually calculated by the manufacturers
202 for this parameter equal 9.
206 ee - DSF (<b>D</b>ownlink <b>S</b>ignalling <b>F</b>ailure). If it is negative,
207 0 is shown. Max value of this parameter is 45. When the phone uses
208 <a href="faq_net1.html#TCH">TCH</a> channel, xx is displayed.
212 ff - AGC (<b>A</b>utomatic <b>G</b>ain <b>C</b>ontrol) - automatic gain control
213 of the phone receiver. The stronger the signal from <a href="faq_net1.html#BTS">BTS</a>,
214 the lower this value. It is displayed correctly only when the phone uses
215 <a href="faq_net1.html#TCH">TCH</a>/<a href="faq_net2.html#SDCC">SDCCH</a> channel
216 (for example: during a call) and can be a value from 0 to 93 (dB ?).
220 ggggg - in some English descriptions it's "VCTCXO AFC DAC control" - a value
221 between -1024 and 1023. In help it's described as AFC
222 (<b>A</b>utomatic <b>F</b>requency <b>C</b>ontrol) - automatic adjusting phone's
223 receiver to the frequency of the signal transmitted by <a href="faq_net1.html#BTS">BTS</a>.
224 The more this value differs from 0, the more frequency corrections have to be
225 made by the receiver (it depends on the channel used in communication with

359 phones (for example in Nokia 6190) this number can consist of three digits.
360 It's shown in decimal format.
364 ccccc - LAC (<b>L</b>ocation <b>A</b>rea <b>C</b>ode): code of the current
365 cell area (decimal or hexadecimal). The size of this area (with the same LAC)
366 depends on the network. After changing LAC, the phone makes

379 fffff - CID (<b>C</b>ell <b>Id</b>entifier): number of the current cell
380 (each cell in given area has its own unique ID number) - shown decimal or hexadecimal.
384 <p>LAC and CID format (if they're displayed decimal or hexadecimal) depends
385 on your phone's model and its software version (for instance: Nokia 3210
386 and Nokia 5110 with newer software display decimal values, while Nokia 5110
387 with 4.51 (and older) firmware and some previous models (like Nokia 3110)

395 are stored in phone's memory (they're set by the producer - cellular network doesn't
396 send any name, just these two numbers). In order to correctly recognize a
397 new network, you must upgrade the firmware of the phone (or it won't display
398 network name). Some older phones, like Nokia 2110i (or newer models
399 without firmware upgrade) display names like PL-03 (they recognize that
400 MCC=260 is Poland (which has international code PL), but they don't know
401 the network name - only its MNC). One text name can also be changed
402 using appropriate service programs (like WinTesla
403 - "Dealer" / "Operator Settings").
405 <p>In Polish version of this manual the description of BTSes contains

755 <p>You can enter numbers of channels belonging to any network (if you enter
756 a channel of forbidden network, you will see all network parameters,
757 but obviously you won't be able to establish connection (except for
758 emergency calls)). After enabling this test your phone won't be able to make
759 <a href="faq_net4.html#Handover">handovers</a>.
761 <p>To enable this test, proceed as follows (sometimes this procedure doesn't
762 work - but turning the phone off and then on often helps; I don't know why):
767 save (change) desired channel number on position number 33 of the SIM card's
768 phone book (<b><font color="#FF6666">not in phone's memory!</font></b>) -
769 <b><font color="#FF6666">if you save '0' there, this test will be inactive!</font></b>
770 However, this step is not necessary, if this number was stored there earlier -
771 you can check this with <b>33#</b> code).</li>
773 <li>go to <b>Menu 10-17</b></li>
775 <li>once again enter <b>Menu 10-17</b> directly</li>
777 <li>switch your phone off and then back on</li>
780 <p>To disable this test:
784 <li>enter <b>Menu 10-17</b> directly</li>
786 <li>switch the phone off and back on (sometimes it isn't needed -
787 phone should disable test, when loose signal on this channel;
788 but it's better to do that to avoid potential problems)
792 <p>Some interesting results can be achieved, when (guess why ?):
796 <li>you enable this test</li>
798 <li>then you switch <b><a href="#Menu19">Menu 10-19</a></b> to REVERSE</li>
800 <li>turn off the test, but not the phone (by entering <b>Menu 10-17</b> one time in a direct mode)</li>
803 <p>In this case the phone "jumps" from one channel to another and monitors
804 channels of different networks - you can see LAC and CID codes of the cells.
805 Furthermore, the phone cannot log to its home network (though it displays
806 parameters of its channels). Several times I got "Insert SIM card" or
807 "SIM card rejected" messages - it may be some bug in firmware. After turning
808 the phone off and then on everything works fine.

830 <li>press fast (c) key to leave phone's menu</li>

839 <p>I heard about some cases, when this test turned itself spontaneously on
840 after loosing the signal by the phone. I didn't experience this, but if this
841 has ever happened to you, just save 0 on 33rd position of the SIM card's phone

853 <li>check whether you already have some number stored on this position
854 (using <b>33#</b> code)</li>
857 if the phone displays 'Invalid location', you have to add new entries to the
858 phonebook until you hit this position and the phone doesn't display this
859 message (repeating 1st step after each new entry)
863 after displaying the number, you have to find out who's number is this.
864 You can do it in two ways:
869 just recall (or check the whole phonebook)
873 turn off the transmitter in
874 <b><a href="faq_net4.html#Menu45">Menu 10-45</a></b> and call this number
875 (the name assigned to this number will be show on screen - you will also find
876 it on the 'Last dialed' list)
883 edit the phone book (this position) - you can change the name or the (channel) number
887 if the phone asks you, whether to replace the old number or to save it on new location, choose the former option
892 To store number on chosen location you can also use other Nokia phone
893 (for example 2110), other cellular phones or appropriate software.
894 For example: in Nokia Cellular Data Suite you can export list of phone numbers
895 to file, open it in editor, change and upload to phone. It's simple, isn't it ?

1258 in case of LiION battery you will find here the same value as on battery casing
1259 in NiMH batteries this value can differ even by 200 mAh and change depending
1260 on the temperature (it it connected with battery's memory effect ?)
1264 hhhh - this counter lets us calculate remaining charging time: when charging
1265 current is less than predefined limit, this timer will be started.

1531 eee - estimate battery age (0 - new, 100 - old) for LiION batteries (the
1532 value of this counter is probably based on measurements of work/discharging
1533 time of the battery and its capacity (shown in <b><a href="#Menu20">Menu 10-20</a></b>);
1534 this is only a reference!) or 33 for NiMH batteries.</li>
1537 fff - battery charge level (25 - 1 bar, 50 - 2 bars, 75 - 3, 100 - 4 bars on
1538 the right side of the screen). This indicator (and parameter) is very
1539 inaccurate during charging process (it reaches 100 almost immediately) -
1540 better use ii and jjj parameters then.
1544 gggg - temporary power consumption indicated by PSM (according to some
1545 English descriptions in decimal parts of mA; I think that this field shows
1546 values in mA - see on calculation of approximate battery work time below)
1550 hhh - LiION battery temperature (also shown in <b><a href="#Menu20">Menu 10-20</a></b>
1551 - sometimes both these indicators are different) or 0 (for NiMH battery)
1555 iiii - how many mAh were "loaded" to the battery until now. If it is approximately
1556 equal to jjj, the latter parameter raises (or charging is complete). This parameter
1557 is cleared after each use of <a href="faq_net1.html#TCH">TCH</a> channel
1558 (for example: after a call) while charging (with NiMH battery) - you can use
1559 this tip to extend charging time almost ad infinitum. I noticed it with Nokia 6110
1560 and LiION battery (when I turned off and on phone during charging process) too.
1561 This value is updated every 14 seconds (Nokia 5110 with standard charger).
1565 jjjj - battery capacity value (in mAh) by which next charging stage is complete
1566 (see description of the previous parameter). I noticed, that it's cleared
1567 during LiION battery charging (when I turned off and on phone during charging
1568 process) in Nokia 6110.
1572 <p>For curious: some of the data, which are displayed here, can also be found
1573 in Nokia service programs (like WinTesla - menu "Testing" / "ADC Readings...").

1612 <p>Conclusion: battery work time depends in a very high degree on the network
1613 parameters (most advertising materials contain standby time measured for the
1614 phone transmitting with lowest power (highest TX)).
1618 <a href="faq_net2.html#AGCH">AGCH</a>: 310 mA in Nokia 5110 and 6110</li>
1621 <a href="faq_net2.html#CCCH">CCCH</a> i <a href="faq_net2.html#CBCH">CBCH</a>:
1622 Nokia 6110 phones with older software (like 4.73) show 20 and 34 accordingly.
1623 I don't know whether this is caused by some bug in their firmware (these values
1624 are most probably given in mA/10) or the power consumption is really that high
1625 (because Nokia 5130 shows 34 too).
1626 Anyway, I checked, that Nokia 5110 (and 6110 v5.31) phones display 3 mA while
1627 using <a href="faq_net2.html#CCCH">CCCH</a> channel. I think that turning off
1628 "cell broadcasting" (if it is not supported by your network) can be very
1629 "profitable" for your phone (longer standby time etc.) - look
1630 <a href="faq_net2.html#Wylacz504">here</a>). When the phone collects
1631 <a href="faq_net1.html#BTS">BTS</a> identification data
1632 (for <a href="faq_net1.html#BTS">BTS</a>, which will be now used - has stronger
1633 signal than previous - see <a href="faq_net1.html#C2"><b>C2</b> description</a>
1634 for details), this value changes to 220 mA (but only for a short while).
1638 <a href="faq_net2.html#NSPS">NSPS</a>: 55 in both Nokia 5110 and 6110 (is this value
1639 in mA or in mA/10 ?)
1643 <p>Turning on backlight takes 90 mA more, and while charging another 17 mA should be added.
1645 <p>In Nokia 3210 these data are different for different person (does it depend on firmware version,
