2.5 Audio, microphone, loudspeaker
The function of the audio codec (coder/decoder) is carried out by the A/D converter.
This codec supports duplex speech quality. The mono digital audio signal has a
resolution of 12 bits (linear) or 8 bits (non-linear), corresponding to telephone quality.
The music quality is limited by the size of the loudspeaker, but the effect is better via a
headset (see 4.1).
The microphone is tested with regard to the hardware functionality. For any application
using the microphone, a corresponding driver will have to be installed.
Loudspeaker
Frequency range FO-4.5kHz
Sound pressure 86dB
Diameter 20mm
2.6 Power supply
The permanently fitted battery can be charged by being connected directly to a power
supply unit, or in the charging shell, which is itself connected to the power supply unit.
The maximum operating time depends on the operating state (see 1.3).
Power consumption in the
various operating states
Running 500 – 600mA; frequent transmission and high
screen brightness increase power consumption;
up to about 4 hours with fully charged battery,
depending on how often transmission takes place
Idle Reduced operation, reduced power consumption
(no data)
Sleep device off, memory is supported, low power
consumption approx. 5mA, at least 20 days with
fully charged battery
