1 Important Information
I. 1 Welcome
Welcome to ReadyTaIk! Yomhandset was created to simplify
communications with your friends, family and co-workers. At any time you
can receive a voice message with this handset at your side. You can record
and Send a reply to a message with the touch of a button. You can send
messages to other ReadyTalk customers. You can record memos to
yourself. You can also dial 911 in cases of emergency.
1.2 Til/[gs to Remember
A charged battery must be attached to your handset for it to operate.
Your handset must be powered on to receive and send messages or to call
911.
If your handset is powered on and you have not pressed any keys for 20
seconds your handset will “rest" to preserve battery power. While your
handset is “resting" some of the icons or numbers will disappear. To "wake
up" the display, press the “Function" keyC-Q).
If nothing shows on your display your handSet is powered off.
The antenna must be attached to your handset for it to operate.
1.3 Chmying your Barter-y
Your handset's battery needs to be recharged every 24 hours. Connect the
AC Adapter charger to the charging port on the left side of your handset.
The battery icon 3 on your display flashes while the battery is charging.
When the battery is charged the battery icon will disappear Charging the
battery takes approximately one hour. Other accessories are available for
charging batteries and for charging your handset's battery in your car.

2 How the System Works _
2.1 The Cellular Network
Your handset sends and receives messages and makes live 911 calls over the
cellular network. The cellular carrier in your area can provide service to you
locally or covering a larger territory.
2.2 Readyc'om Voice/Moll Server (RVs)
The ReadyCom VoiceMaiI Server (RVs) is a computer that stores thousands
of messages and routes them to ReadyTalk handsets via the cellular
network When you dial your ReadyTalk phone number, you are calling a
mailbox on the RVs that is specialized for you. When a caller leaves a
message in your mailbox, the Rvs will contact your handset and deliver the
message. A copy of the message will stay in your mailbox on the RVS.
To specialize your mailbox on the RVS, call your ReadyTalk phone number
from any touch tone phone.
a You will hear instructions to record a greeting, The greeting is what
people will hear when they call you, just like an answering machine.
a You will also hear instructions to record your name. The recording of your
name will be entered into a directory so others can ReadyToIk you. Your
recorded name will be sent to other ReadyTaIk customer's Send Message
List. The Send Message List is stored in your handset and allows you to
select a message recipient by their name.
a You will also hear instructions to enter a passcode. Make sure you choose
numbers or letters that you will remember easily. You will need to enter
your passcode to listen to your messages if you are calling in to the RVS.
You will need to enter your passcode to change any of the specializing
features. You do not need your passcode to listen to messages on your
handset.
a You will also hear instructions about setting up your Send Message List.
Your Send Message List is a list of other ReadyTalk customers to whom
you would like to send messages from your handset, Your Send Message
List will be delivered to your handset from the RVS after you hang-up.
RTSDO User Guide 10/16/97
Elisa Metzeus Pageu
Your handset will ring or vibrate to let you know your Send Message List
has arrived,
At any time, from a touch-tone phone and using your passcode, you may
record over your greeting or name, change your passcode and add or delete
names from your Send Message List.
The RVs has many special settings that you can choose. These special
settings are called "User Options". The RVS has voice prompts to help you
find your way.
2.3 Store and Forward Messaging
The ReadyToIk system is made up of three parts: your handset, the RVS, and
the cellular network
When you record a message from your handset to send to another
ReadyTalk customer, your handset stores the message and calls it a “Pending
Message". As soon as the display “rests", your handset will automatically
call the RVS and deliver the pending message. This process takes a matter
of seconds, but it is important to remember that you must leave your
handset powered on until the pending message is sent.
2.4 How Rep/y Works
If a caller using a touch-tone phone requests a reply after recording their
message, they will receive a 3-digit code from the RVS. You can reply to
their message from your handset or by calling into the RVs. The caller
receives your reply by calling your ReodyTalk number, pressing "1" and
entering the 3—digit code. The caller is then given the time their message
was sent to you and your recorded reply.
If another ReadyTaIk handset is sending a message to you, it is automatically
reply able. ReadyTalk handset users can send messages back and forth to
each other with the touch of a button.

TRANSCEIVER ALIGNMENT
Iransmitter lune-up Procedure
1.
2.
Power on the radio.
Put the radio in standby state. Lock the local oscillator to
cellular channels.
Put the radio in transmit setup state. The transmit modula—
tor is a voltage-controlled oscillator and its frequency is
tuned to oscillate at 90 MHz aby a phase-lock loop
synthesizer. It takes less than 40 milliseconds for the
frequency to settle down. The transmit frequency can be
adjusted by varying the value in DAC #2. During transmit
setup state, the power detector, the exciter, and the nega-
tive DC/Dc converter are powered on. The mixer up—converter
is keyed off so that no RF signal will be generated. The FET
switch is turned off and the power supply is shut down to the
power amplifier in order to guarantee less that —60 dBm
spurious power output.
Put the radio in full duplex state. The power amplifier is
keyed on by turning on the FET switch. The mixer up—
converter is also keyed on to let RF signal 90 to the exciter
and be amplified by the power amplifier.

APPENDIX 7
CIRCUITS FOR ESTABLISHING AND STABILIZING
CARRIER FREQUENCY
The RF frequency of a voltage—controlled oscillator is
divided by a prescalor in ACE9020 and fed into the synthesizer in
ACEQUJO. A temperature—compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO)
feeds clock signal into the same synthesizer in ACE9030. The
temperature stability of the TCXO is 12.5 ppm from —30 to 60
degree C. The synthesizer compares the divided RF frequency and
the divided TCXO clock frequency and generates a clean DC
voltage to control the voltage—controlled oscillator. Because
the temperature stability if the TCXO meets the specifications
and the RF frequency is controlled by the TCXO and synthesizer,
the RF frequency will be stabilized over specified temperature
variation range.
The crystal oscillator consists of a crystal element, tran—
sistor oscillation circuitry, and a temperature compensation
network. The network provides the equivalent capacitance devia-
tion for temperature change.

MODULATION AND ESTABLISH OUTPUT POWER LEVEL
TRAN§MIITER SPURIOUS SUPPRESSION
A duplexer, employed between the power amplifier and the
antenna, attenuates spurious emissions.
CIRCQIZS OR DEVICES EMPLOYED FOR LIMITING MODULATION“
There are two limiters in the Circuit: a soft limiter and a
hard limiter. The soft limiter operates as an AGC system,
controlled by the signal amplitude at the compressor input
and the hard limiter output. If the signal is too large at
either of these points the soft limiter forward gain is
reduced. To ensure compliance with the peak deviation
specification for cellular telephone system, a hard limiter
follows the pre—emphasis filter to remove any transient level
changes that have pass through the soft limiter. This limit—
er will also handle large signals and has symmetrical clip—
ping levels close to the supply rails VDD and VSS. an 8 dB
attenuator follows the limiter to prevent any further clip-
ping of the signal in the following transmit lowpass filter.
DIGITAL MODULATION
Transmitted data is a 10 kHz Manchester encoded data stream.
It passes a 4th order Butterworth low-pass filter with a 20
kHz 3 dB cut-off frequency to filter out sharp transitions
and is fed to the FSK modulator.
