* The primary grade assumes CTIA functional class 1, battery type 1 and customer and enterprise locks clear, all of which every UGP grade guarantees. ** UGP A allows up to two S1 marks on zone AA. CTIA A allows none, so a UGP A unit can map to CTIA B, and Premium (A0) maps to CTIA A. *** UGP D is never cracked. CTIA D includes a cracked display cover glass and maps to no UGP grade.
