• If the internal antenna is missing, install one.
• If the radiator looks obviously damaged, replace the internal antenna.
PIFA Antenna
The internal antenna includes a planar-inverted F antenna (PIFA) radiator and an
inverted F antenna (IFA) radiator (GPS antenna radiator) attached to a plastic carrier. An
integrated hands-free (IHF) mini speaker is integrated inside the plastic.
