Plugging the compact unit into your broadband router or cable modem will grant your existing 3G phone or data‐card exclusive access to its own 3G access point. The Femtocell is like a low‐power 3G equivalent of a Wi‐Fi hotspot that works with all your 3G devices. It can be configured to handle four, eight or sixteen voice calls at the same time. There is no need to worry about dropped calls, poor voice quality or slow data connections, dependable multi‐megabit speeds are now a reality whereas coverage concerns and network congestion are things of the past. The Femtocell has no buttons to press and simply requires a power source and broadband data connection to operate. The Femtocell automatically communicates with a central management system over a secure Internet connection. It takes less than 10 minutes to register and download the latest software, after which point it will be ready to handle your first call. It is important that you read each section of this manual before operating the Femtocell. Please give particular attention to all operating instructions and retain them for future reference. 2 Getting started 2.1 Check what’s in the box Femtocell with free standing mount and (optional) wall bracket Ethernet data cable to connect the Femtocell to your LAN, broadband router or cable modem Mains power supply adaptor and plug External GPS antenna User Guide 2.2 Location The range of the Femtocell depends on a number of factors including its location, the number and the construction of the walls, and the proximity to other Femtocells. Firstly, locate your nearest LAN port, broadband data router or cable modem, as this will need to be connected to the Femtocell. It is worth spending a little time thinking about where to place your Femtocell. Considerations should include where you are most likely to make or receive calls: If you wanted to talk to everyone in your home or office without shouting too loudly then where would you stand? That is probably a good location for the Femtocell. Ideally, place your Femtocell somewhere central in an elevated location and close to a window. For even better coverage throughout the home, the external GPS antenna can be connected and placed by a window to allow the Femtocell to be located in a more central location. 3 Using your Femtocell 3.1 How it works Traditionally your mobile phone provides service using a long‐distance radio connection with a mobile phone network. The Femtocell is a mobile access point that seamlessly replaces this service when you are indoors. It uses your broadband internet connection to communicate with the mobile network, and because it provides coverage indoors it is very low power ‐ similar or lower than the power used by a regular cordless home phone, Wi‐Fi router or even your mobile phone. The result is outstanding 3G coverage including dependable, high‐speed data services like music download and video. The 3G mobile network detects when you are moving between the outdoor network and your indoor Femtocell coverage area and automatically shifts between the two without any intervention required. 3.2 Broadband connection Increases in broadband data speeds over telephone lines and cable TV now make it a viable means to transport other forms of data as well as the Internet and music downloads. The Femtocell plugs into your broadband interface and accesses your Mobile Operator’s network in a secure manner just like the mobile equipment you see outside. This ensures that it functions in exactly the same way, offering you all the latest 3G services. As with any mobile equipment, the Femtocell automatically connects to the network without you having to press any buttons to communicate with it via a computer. Since the Femtocell shares your broadband interface with your PC Internet connection, it has to be able to support both simultaneously. If you frequently download large amounts of data such as music from the Internet, we recommend that your broadband speed is better than 1Mbps in the downlink direction and 512 kbps in the uplink direction. Additionally if your broadband router is capable of supporting Class of Service data prioritisation then you can configure it to prioritise your Femtocell data and provide a better quality of service to your mobile device. 3.3 Indicator Lights The indicator light tells you what the Femtocell is doing and whether or not it is experiencing any problems. It can be either green to show it is operating properly, or red to highlight a problem. The Femtocell can take up to 10 minutes to configure itself after switching on for the first time. During this period, it carries out a number of self‐checks and configures itself to give best coverage in your home or office. All communications between the Femtocell and the central management system are secure and carried over your broadband data connection. If for any reason the indicator light is red this means that there is a problem. Section 4 contains information about the state of the indicator light, what it means, and what actions need to be taken. 3.4 Privacy The Femtocell ensures your privacy by not logging, recording or reporting phone calls, phone numbers, data files, web pages or any other information except as required by your Service Provider or Mobile Operator as a normal part of its legal commitments. 3.5 Emergency calls Like other phones that require a power source but do not have a battery backup, the Femtocell should not be relied upon as an only means to make a 911 emergency call. 4 Troubleshooting The Red Indicator light is used to signal a problem with the unit. If the Red Indicator light is flashing this means that there is a problem which you can resolve yourself. The number of flashes indicates the type of problem as shown in the table below. If the Red Indicator light is on but not flashing then please contact your customer care who will be able to assist you with the problem. Number of flashes Problem Resolution No connection to local broadband router Check the connection between the broadband router and the Femtocell. No internet connection Check that the broadband router is connected to the Internet and is providing service. Interference problem There is interface with other systems. Try placing the Femtocell in a different place. If this persists please contact customer services. Overheating Check the Femtocell is located where there is good airflow. SIM card problem Check to see that the SIM card is inserted correctly and that it is the one provided with the Femtocell. 5 Safety and Product care All instructions, warning and caution statements that accompany this equipment must be strictly followed at all times to ensure its safe use.
