7.4.2 How to Install the Wireless modem

7.4.2.1 Power Supply

Use a high-quality power supply cable with low resistance. This ensures that the voltages at the connector pins are within the allowed range, even during the maximum peak current. An electrolytic capacitor should be placed close to the power supply pins of the wireless modem to supply the peak currents during burst transmission. See 5.5 Regulated Power Supply Input (VCC), page 34.

7.4.2.2 Grounds

A ground connection is provided at the mounting hole next to the RF connector on the wireless modem (see Figure 5.1, page 19). Connect this ground point to the GND pins of the wireless modem by the shortest, low impedance path possible. The purpose of this connection is to allow any ESD picked up by the antenna to bypass the wireless modem’s internal ground path.

Note! It is recommended that you use a cable with a maximum resistance of 5 milliohm for the ground connection.

Note! AREF and GND are connected at a single point inside the wireless modem. They must not be joined together in your application.

7.4.2.3 Audio

Use a coupling capacitor in AUXI line if the application does not use the wireless modem’s bias voltage. See also Figure 5.9-1 Microphone connections to the wireless modem, page 50.

7.4.2.4 Software Upgrade

There are two ways of updating the firmware in the GS64. There is a web based tool that can access a Sony Ericsson server from where SW can be downloaded. There is also an Updater, which is a local application that downloads an image provided by SEMC.
