Menu Modes
There are three Menu Display modes:
- execute mode
- data display mode
- help mode
Different modes are marked in this manual as follows:
The execute mode is entered from the menu by scrolling and selecting 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 (on some 3110
versions, the help screens follow the data display modes on the list).
.
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.

a H, if carrier numbers are scrolled when hopping is on. Otherwise ' '.
bbb When mobile is on TCH: DCH carrier number in decimal.
When mobile is NOT on TCH: CH means carrier number in decimal.
If hopping is on, used channels are scrolled when display is updated.
ccc RX level in dBm, minus sign not shown if <=-100
ddd TX power level. If transmitter is on, symbol * is shown in front of the power
level value (PL).
PL: 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
dB: 33 31 29 27 25 23 21 19 17 15 13
Watts: 2.0 1.3 0.8 0.5 0.3 0.2 0.13 0.08 0.05 0.03 0.02
These values can easily be calculated using the following formulas:
dB = 33 + (PL-5)*2 Watts = (2/1995) * (10^(dB/10))
e Time Slot, range is 0 - 7
ff Timing advance, range is 0 – 63
g RX quality (sub), range is 0 - 7
mmmm Radio Link Timeout value. If value is negative, 0 is shown.
Maximum value is 64. When mobile is NOT on TCH then xx is shown.
nnn value of the path loss criteria (C1). Range is -99 - 999.
Display 2 – Serving cell, 1st and 2nd

aa Paging mode
NO : normal paging
EX : extended paging
RO : paging reorganisation
SB : same as before
b Maximum number of Random Access retransmission
c Roaming indicator, values are R or empty.
Bdd Letter B and BSIC value, range is 0 - 63.
ee Reason of last call release.
This parameter is also present in test 63, you will find explanation there.
f RX quality (full), range is 0 - 7
ggg Cell reselec t offset, range 0 - 126 dB.
0 - 63 * 2 dB. 'xxx' in active mode.
hh Temporary offset, range 0 - 60 dB.
0 - 7 * 10 dB. 70 dB means infinite time.
'xx' in active mode.
iii Penalty time, range 0 - 620 s.
0 - 31 * 20 s. 'xxx' in active mode.
j Hopping channel
0 Single RF channel
1 RF hopping channel
mm Mobile allocation index offset, MAIO
Range: 00 to 63 / xx when H=0
nn Hopping sequence number, HSN
Range: 00 to 63 / xx when H=0
