Self-Test Diagnostics

Use the Self-Test application to run tests on the operation of your device. 

The diagnostics application tests for sound, notification, GSM/GPRS, 

and buttons.
To run the Self-Test application:
1.

From the Start menu, tap Settings > System tab > Self Test.

2.

Place a check in the check box next to the items to be tested or in 

all check boxes to test all of them.

3.

Tap Start.

4.

Follow the screen instructions as tests are performed on each 

requested item. Tap OK or Cancel as required as you proceed 

through the testing. If you cancel a test, the test status is set to FAIL.

NOTE:  You will receive Error messages with specific information on items 

that fail. For example, if you checked sound and it is not working 

properly, you could get an Error message that says something like the 

following: “Error detecting sound.” Use the information in the Error 

messages to correct the device item.

5.

After the last test is performed, the test result screen displays the 

results of all performed tests. The final status will be either PASS or 

FAIL. When you tap Finish, you will be asked if you want to create 

a Self-Test log file. 
• Tap Yes to create the log file in the My Documents folder. The 

log file will contain the results of the test with a time and 

date stamp.

• Tap No to skip the log file output.
