Introduction to acoustics troubleshooting

Acoustics design ensures that the sound is detected correctly with a microphone and properly radiated to
the outside of the device by the speaker. The acoustics of the phone include three basic systems: earpiece,
stereo integrated handsfree (IHF) and digital microphone.
The sound reproduced from the earpiece comes through a hole on the front cover (A-cover). The IHF sound
hole is located on the back of the phone, near the camera area. The microphone sound hole is on the bottom
of the phone, beside the USB connector.
For a correct functionality of the phone, all sound holes must be always open. When the phone is used, care
must be taken not to close any of those holes with a hand or fingers. The phone should be dry and clean,
and no objects must be located in such a way that they close any of the holes.
