RF Tests
Receiver Tests
Simulate Base Station (registration)
1. Turn the radio ON 
2. Check that registration and “ITSI: ---/----/00000xxx” is displayed on the IFR 
“Manual Test” screen.
Status: Registered (ITSI Attach)
RSSI Test 
Before carrying out the following steps, record the Insertion loss (dB) of the cable 
loss value - (X) dB. Also, 0.5 dB, the maximum insertion loss of the Antenna 
assembly adapter should be added to the total calculated insertion loss.
1. In the IFR Manual Test Mode, press the “RF Gen Level” Soft Key and enter             
(–) 80dbm.

2. Before testing, the radio should be configured to RSSI mode using the follow-
ing Sequence, When performing steps 3 thru 6, make sure that you press the 
handset keys sequentially (less then a second between every consecutive 
press). 
3. Press the “Volume down” Key.
4. Press the “1 “key, and “Menu” Key.
5. Press the “2 “key, and “Menu” Key.
6. Press the “3 “key. 
Hereafter, there is no need for quick sequence of pressing the handset keys.
7. Press   Key to enter the “4 Cells Info” state.
8. Press “OK” using the Right (
.) Key and press  .
9. Press “Trace” using the Right (
.) Key.
Note:RSSI results will flash on the screen every few seconds.
The display shows: SERV: xx
                                RSSI: -81
                                SQE: xx
Disregard the “SERV” and “SQE” results.
The actual measured result should be:
 {-80dBm (IFR RF Gen Level) -0.5dB(adapter)-XdB (cable)} +/-1 dB.
 RSSI = {Radio RSSI Result – [Antenna assembly Adapter (dB) + Insertion loss 
of the Cable (dB)]}.
To stop the “Trace” process, perform the following. When performing steps 10. 
thru 13., make sure that you press the handset keys sequentially (less then a sec-
ond between every consecutive press):
10. Press the “Volume down” Key.
