23 E N G L I S H Part 15 of FCC Rules Interference Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Your W425 has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interefence in residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: 1. Where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving television or radio antenna. 2. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone equipment. (This increases the separation between the telephone equipment and the receiver.) 3. Connect the telephone equipment into an outlet on a circuit difference from that to which the television, radio, or other receiver is connected. 4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. CAUTION:Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Base Unit Circuit Block Description 6. Functional Blocks of the RF Module 7. RF Module Circuit Block Description 8. W425 Basic Operation 9. Test Mode Operation Revision 02 1. Introduction The model W425 is a 40 channel (902 MHz - 928 MHz) cordless telephone. This unit is made up of two parts: a. A Handset unit. b. A Base unit. 2. Functional Blocks of the Handset The block diagram of W425 handset unit is as shown below. It is made up of the following parts: 2.1 Keyboard Matrix, Switches and Function LED 2.2 MCU and MCU Interface 2.3 RF Module 2.4 Compander 2.5 Data Shaper 2.6 Charge and Control 2.7 Low Battery Detector 2.8 Buzzer 2.9 Audio Circuit Revision 02 W425 Handset Unit Block Diagram Revision 02 3. Handset Unit Circuit Block Description 3.1 Keyboard Matrix, Switches and Function LED The keyboard consists of the following keys: • FIRE – one touch memory key • POL – one touch memory key • AMB – one touch memory key • CHN – for changing RF carrier frequency • TALK – for On/Off hook control • MEM – for memory program and dialing • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, *, 0, # – numeric keys • FLASH – provides timed On/Off hook function • MUTE – turns Off/On the handset microphone • RDL/P – redials the last number or provides a pause during dialing. The keyboard is connected to Pins 19 to 26 the MCU (U3). The switches consist of the followings: • BOOST CLARITY POWER – for On/Off the receiver amplifier gain • RINGER ON/OFF – turns On/Off the ringer buzzer They are connected to pins 24 and 21 of MCU. The function LEDs consist of the followings: • MICMUTE (LED2 - Red) – Located under the “MUTE” key. On/Off when microphone is Off/On • INUSE (LED17 – Green; LED4, LED6 and LED18 - Red) – Located under the “TALK” key and the handset antenna. On/Off when telephone is Off-hook/On-hook • BOOST (LED17 – RED) – Located under the “TALK” key. On/Off when the receiver amplifer extra gain is On/Off • BACKLIGHT (LED3, LED5, LED7, LED8, LED9, LED10, LED11, LED12, LED13, LED14, LED15, LED16 – Green) – Located under the keyboard.
