1 Introduction
This document specifies the features of 61xx series Field Test Display.
Field Test Display, i.e. engineering test mode, is a configurable software
feature which is available through MMI menu.
Field Test Display is useful for testing mobile phones during development
or for verifying the operation of the network.

- Display 9: HSCSD display 2
2 Using the Field Test Display
When the Field Test Display is active, the phone works in a similar way as
without it, except that the arrow buttons (^,v) scroll through the various
tests, whereas they would scroll through the memory locations while the
Field Test Display is inactive. The test numbers that are not valid are
not scrolled.
The Field Test Display appears as a so called soft indicator, which means
that it is visible only if there is nothing else to display. For example,
once the first digit of a phone number has been dialled, the Field Test
Display disappears and the digit appears. After the whole number has been
dialled and a call setup has started, the number disappears and the Field
Test Display reverts.
When the Field Test Display is active and mobile originated call setup is
going, 'CALLING XXXXX' text is not shown. However, if some call divert is
active, 'note diverts' text is viewed. When keyguard is active, keyguard
texts (or icons) are disabled and Field Test Display is visible. Pressing
a key views normal keyguard texts. When user activates the keyguard,
keyguard note is shown shortly.
During proper power off (use of power key or RE-CHARGE indication)
some valuable data (e.g. the number of current field test display) is
stored onto the EEPROM. Next time when the phone is powered on the lastly
selected field test display will be automatically re-activated.
2.1 Activating the Field Test Display
The Field Test Display is located at the end of the main menu loop. It is
activated as follows:
- press the Menu button
- scroll in the main menu loop to field test display item
(NETWORK MONITOR)
- press the Select button
- enter the index number of the test to be activated at the
TEST NUMBER prompt
- confirm with the Ok button
The field test data will then appear in a moment. The index number of the
test will appear in the top right corner of the display. If given test
number is not valid "No Test" -text will appear to the display.
A quicker way to activate the Field Test Display is to use the menu
shortcut. The field test display is the last item in the main menu loop.
The shortcut activation of the field test display is done in the following
way:
MENU <number of the last item> <number of the desired field test display>
If the last number of the main menu loop is e.g. 8, in order to activate
test display number 20, just press Menu, 8, 20 and Ok in a sequence.
See chapter 2.5 for recommendations.
2.2 Deactivating the Field Test Display
The Field Test Display is deactivated as follows:
- press the Menu button
- scroll in the main menu loop to field test display item
- press the Select button
- enter 0 at the TEST NUMBER prompt
- confirm with the Ok button
2.3 Field test modes
There are three Field Test Display modes:
- execute mode
- data display mode
- help mode
Different modes are marked in this specification as follows:
************** ++++++++++++++ ##############
* * + + # #
* Execute * +Data display+ # Help #
* Mode * + Mode + # Mode #
* * + + # #
************** ++++++++++++++ ##############
The execute mode is entered from the menu as described in 2.1 (either
scroll and select or shortcut). If the test index entered pertains to a
test that resets a timer (test 80) for example, then the timer is reset
as soon as the Ok button has been pressed in the menu, and the data
display mode takes over. In other words, the execute mode is of the
one-shot type. To run another test in the execute mode, the Field Test
Display menu must be re-activated.
During the data display mode, the field test data (e.g. carrier, power
level, cell) is visible on the main display. During the help mode, one
screen of instructions is shown for each test to make it easier to identify
the test in question. A long press of asterisk (*) is used to toggle
between these two modes.
The arrow keys (^,v) offer an easy way to switch to another test without
using the menu. However, the data display mode remains, i.e. nothing will
be executed or set on although such tests would be passed. This is to
prevent the user from accidentally clearing any valuable data. (see 3.7.2
for details and 2.5 for recommendations).
The help mode is also a non-execute mode. Display numbers have been selected
in such way that no 5-terminated test number is an execute display.
2.4 Signal and battery levels
When Field Test Display is active, normal signal and battery level
bars are visible.
2.5 Reserving SIM SCM locations (recommendations)
When starting to use a SIM-card in a phone with field test displays, it is
recommended to put some default data into SIM SCM locations that are used
by field test displays. This prevents accidental storing of phone numbers
and names into such locations.
SIM SCM Recommended Recommended Location used
location number text (name) by display
--------------------------------------------------------
33 0 BTS TEST 17
Reserving SIM SCM locations is not necessary if the user is sure that
he/she will never select these displays using menu shortcut (which
executes the display).
In 61xx series (DCT3) phones it is not possible to select the SIM
location number where the number and the name will be stored.
So, reserving a SIM location must be done by some PC software or,
for example, by 8110i (DCT2) phone.
3 Information on the displays
Length of a field is shown in the display picture by amount of the letters.
If a value is not available, 'x' is shown for all the digits. If data to
be displayed is shorter than the field reserved to show that data, text
is aligned left and numbers right.
3.1 Signalling displays, which can be visible to network operators
Those signalling displays which can be activated by the network operators
are numbered from 1 to 19. Before field test displays are visible, mobile
has to be modified. With the normal production mobile field test
displays are not working.

This display is used to toggle BTS_TEST status on EEPROM. If BTS_TEST
status is set on EEPROM each time the mobile sends a search list it uses
only the carrier number stored on SIM SCM-location 33. Also the neighbour
information from system information messages is ignored. If the BTS_TEST
status is not set, then the value of SIM SCM-location 33 is ignored and the
mobile behaves normally (i.e. does the neighbour measurements according the
GSM specifications).
To activate BTS tests perform following steps:
- Save desired channel number in SIM SCM-location 33.
- Select display 17 in execute mode
- Switch power off and on
If activation succeeded, there is text "BTS TEST ON" in display 17.
To deactivate BTS tests either select display 17 in execute mode or
save number 0 in SIM SCM-location 33 and switch power off and on.
NOTE! The display does not show the value of BTS_TEST status in EEPROM.
Although the value is set, bts test can be off. If there is not legal
carrier number in SIM location 33 (GSM: 1-124, DCS1800: 512-885) the
display shows that bts test is off. Also if the mobile was already
registered to some carrier before switching BTS_TEST status, the display
can show different value from the one in EEPROM.
