Transceiver RH-17
Introduction
The RH-17 is available as either CDMA 800 and AMPS or CDMA 800 only, depending on
model. It supports the new CDMA 1XRTT standard air interface.
Advanced messaging features include SMS (MO/MT), Instant Messaging, Nokia ‘Chat’
and Smart Messaging (ring tones, graphics, images, and animations).
The standard internal battery (BL-5C) provides users with up to 2:40 hours of talk time
(digital) and 1:45 hours of talk time (analog). Standby time is 280 hours (digital) and
25 hours (analog).
Two antennas are used — internal; external, extendable silver “whip”. When the whip
antenna is in, only the internal antenna is active. When the whip is retracted, both
antennas are active. Access to test the cellular engine is possible once the A cover is
removed.
Operational Modes
There are several different operational modes: Modes have different states controlled by
the cellular SW. Some examples are: Idle State (on ACCH), Camping (on DCCH), Scan-
ning, Conversation, No Service Power Save (NSPS) previously OOR = Out of Range.
In the power-off mode, only the circuits needed for power-up are active.
In the idle mode, circuits are powered down and only the sleep clock is running.
In the active mode, all the circuits are supplied with power, although some parts might
be in idle state part of the time.
The charge mode is effective in parallel with all previous modes. The charge mode itself
consists of two different states; i.e., the fast charge and the maintenance mode.
The local and test modes are used for alignment and testing.
