Abstract: An apparatus configured to broadcast a wireless signal when a processing circuitry of the apparatus is in a non-active state. The broadcasted signals can be used to localize the apparatus when the apparatus is lost. The apparatus has a first processing circuitry configured to operate in an active power consuming mode and a non-active low power consuming mode. The apparatus further has a wireless transmit circuitry configured to be in an active mode and broadcast a wireless signal when the first processing circuitry switches operation mode from the active mode to the non-active mode. The first processing circuitry is powered by a battery supply, and the first processing circuitry may be configured to automatically switch from the active mode to the non-active mode when the supply voltage provided by the battery supply decreases below a threshold voltage, whereby the wireless circuitry will be broadcasting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a light guide for illumination of a functional area of portable communication devices. By applying a light reflecting microstructure and quantum dots in the same light guide, a number of advantages are gained, as compared to the provision of multiple light guides stacked onto each other comprising microstructures. By subjecting the singular light guide to light having either one wavelength or another wavelength, different illumination patterns can be provided for functional areas in portable communication devices, such as mobile phones. Moreover, dual illumination patterns that may be overlapping can be provided in the in one and the same colour.
