Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/066525
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
Electronic devices may be provided with audio circuits and circuitry configured to support communications and test mode operations. During normal operation, a standards-compliant connector such as an audio connector may be inserted into a connector port in an electronic device. The audio connector may be associated with a headset or other accessory and may be used to carry audio signals. During test mode operations, a nonstandard test connector may be inserted into the connector port. The electronic device may detect the presence of the nonstandard connector and may direct the electronic device to operate in a testing mode.
