SX4e GSM 1900 4USER MANUAL
Safety Information
Your Phonecell SX4e FWT (Fixed Wireless Terminal) functions as both a radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the FWT receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) energy. The SX4e GSM 1900 operates between 1850 MHz
and 1990 MHz. It employs the commonly used phase/frequency modulation
techniques. When you use your Phonecell SX4e, the cellular system handling
your call controls the power level at which your unit transmits. Nominal power
for the GSM 1900 unit is 1 watt.
Exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) Energy
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for
safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. After reviewing the
available body of research, more than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industry developed this updated
Standard. In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of your Telular Phonecell SX4e FWT (Fixed Wireless Terminal) complies
with the requirements of EN 55022, 47 CFR Part 15, Class B, and ICES-003 for con-
ducted and radiated emissions. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even fur-
ther than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the duration of your
calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.
Safe Operation Requirement
Do not operate your Phonecell when any person is within 1 inch (2,5 cm) of the antenna.
Protective Earth (Safety Ground) Terminal
A protective earth (safety ground) terminal (screw) marked with the
protective earth symbol is provided on the back of the SX4 Phonecell unit.
This terminal must have a permanent connection to a good earth ground
(i.e. a cold water pipe) by means of an 18 gauge or heavier insulated wire.
The wire insulation should be green with a yellow stripe to indicate that this is a
protective earth (safety ground) connection.
WARNING: The protective earth is to be installed by a qualified electrician.
Temperature Environment
Operating Temperature:: From -10°C (14°F) to +50°C (122°F);
Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing)
Storage Temperature: From -20°C (-4°F) to +60°C (140°F);
Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing)
WARNING!
Your Phonecell must be placed or mounted on a flat surface to allow proper
ventilation. Do not block the air vents or the space beneath your Phonecell as
this could cause the unit to overheat and fail.
!
IMPORTANT!
To ensure safe and efficient operation, please read the following information
and observe these guidelines whenever using your Phonecell FWT.
SX4e GSM 1900 5USER MANUAL
Safety Information - continued
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular products
in the areas where you drive. Some jurisdictions prohibit your
using a cellular device while driving a vehicle. Even if your
jurisdiction does not have such a law, we strongly suggest that, for safety rea-
sons, the driver use extreme caution when operating the cellular device while the
vehicle is in motion. Always obey the law.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF
energy from cellular devices may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer of
any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers,
hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
energy.
Turn your Phonecell FWT OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft Turn OFF your Phonecell before boarding any aircraft.
•• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
•• Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew
member to use your cellular phone (or any other cellular product) while the plane
is on the ground. To prevent interference with aircraft systems, FCC regulations
prohibit using your cellular FWT while the plane is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your Phonecell to prevent damage to the unit.
Blasting Areas
Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Therefore, to avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your Phonecell OFF
when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio."
Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the FWT with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Have your antenna replaced
by a qualified technician immediately. Use only a manufacturer-approved anten-
na. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
FWT (Fixed Wireless Terminal) and will void the Grant of Type Acceptance.
SX4e GSM 1900 6USER MANUAL
Safety Information - continued
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your Phonecell OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your Phonecell or its acces-
sories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal pow-
ders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the area of your
Phonecell or accessories.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply
with the National Fire Protection Standard (FPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This Phonecell SX4e model has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
•• Reorient or relocate the antenna.
•• Increase the separation between the equipment and the terminal.
•• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
terminal is connected.
•• Consult your Authorized Telular Distributor or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
GSM Type Acceptance
The Phonecell SX4e GSM 1900 model utilizes a Telular-designed mobile terminal
integrated onto the main board. The Phonecell SX4e GSM 1900 model complies
with the TIA/EIA J-STD-007 PCS 1900 Air Interface Standard.

3) Check the LED cellular status
indicator (middle LED) on
the front of your Phonecell:
•• RED Continuous = No Service
••RED Flashing = SIM Problem
••GREEN Continuous = Good signal.
••GREEN Flashing = Poor signal.
4) Move the antenna from one
location to another until you
achieve the best signal
strength possible (GREEN).
5) When you’re getting a strong
(GREEN) signal, you’re ready for
the next step - connecting a phone
and making a call.
NOTE: If you’re still receiving a
Continuous RED “no-service”
signal, contact your service
provider to make sure cellular
service is activated.
If the LED is flashing RED, there’s
a SIM card problem - see Step 5.

Dual-Jack Operation
The Phonecell SX4e may be operated in either
dual-jack or single-jack mode. The factory default
is the dual- jack mode. In dual-jack operation, for
outgoing calls, the first jack to seize the line (go
off-hook) will disconnect the other jack. The other
jack will remain disconnected until the first jack
goes back on-hook. For incoming calls, voice
calls will be routed to the Phone voice jack and
fax calls will be routed to the Fax jack. See How
to Set A Single Jack Option, to change program-
ming to single jack operation.
1) Locate the modular line port on your
phone and plug in one end of a standard
phone cord.
2) Connect the other end of the cord to the
telephone port (marked PHONE) on the side
of your Phonecell SX4e - see Figure 7.
NOTE: An RJ-11 connector will fit into the
Phone port.
NOTE: The Phonecell SX4e does not
support direct computer modem (data)
operation through the Phone port or Fax
port. It also does not support the phone
through the fax port.
3) Locate the modular line port on
your fax machine and plug in one end of a
standard phone cord.
4) Connect the other end of the cord
to the fax port (To the Left of the Phone
port) on the side of your Phonecell SX4e.
Single-Jack Operation
The analog fax jack can be disabled leaving
only the telephone jack operational (single-jack
operation). In single-jack operation, voice calls
can be placed and received normally if a tele-
phone is connected. If a fax is connected,
incoming analog fax calls can be received
normally, but to place outbound fax calls using
the voice jack, a bypass sequence must be
used as a prefix in the dialed telephone number.

Step 4. SIM Card Installation & Setup
How to Install the Mini-SIM Card
The GSM module within the Phonecell
requires a Subscriber Identification
Module (SIM) for normal operation. The
service provider supplies a SIM card,
which carries the account information
needed to operate the Phonecell. The
mini-SIM compartment is on the back of
the Phonecell - see Figure 11.
NOTE: If your mini-SIM card is already
installed, skip to the SIM PIN
Programming section of this manual.
If you don’t have a mini-SIM card,
contact your network service provider.
1) Disconnect DC power.
2) Remove the SIM compartment cover
by removing the screw.
3) Open the SIM card holder.
4) Line up the mini-SIM card with the
arrow on the SIM card holder.
5) Gently insert the mini-SIM card in the
slot of the SIM card holder - See
Figure 12.
6) Close the SIM card holder.
NOTE: If you insert the SIM card
improperly, the holder will not
close. Do not force it shut. Make
sure the SIM card is aligned properly
with the directional arrow on the hold-
er.
7) Reattach the SIM compartment cover
with the screw.
8) Reconnect DC power.
9) Proceed with SIM PIN Programming.
IMPORTANT!
If your Phonecell did NOT come with a pre-installed mini-SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) card, OR if you’re experiencing SIM card-related problems, follow the
steps below. Otherwise, continue with STEP 5.

SX4e GSM 1900 21 USER MANUAL
SIM PIN Programming
The mini-SIM may require entry of a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN
is a four- to eight-digit number provided with the SIM card. If the service provider has
set the SIM to require PIN entry, the Phonecell will request the PIN each time it is
powered ON or the SIM is removed and replaced. The PIN can be stored within the
Phonecell for automatic entry when required. To use the automatic PIN entry feature,
the PIN must be correctly programmed and automatic PIN entry must be enabled.
If PIN entry is requested while automatic PIN entry is disabled, the Phonecell emits
a SIM Inactive tone. The SIM PIN can be manually entered at that time by dialing
the PIN and pressing #. If entry is successful, the SIM Inactive tone will be replaced
by service dial tone.
How to Enable/Disable the Automatic PIN Entry Feature
1) Using a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Set) phone connected to the telephone port,
lift up the handset (take off-hook).
NOTE: You must have tone-dial (DTMF) capability to enable/disable the
Automatic PIN Entry Feature.
2) Enter the Programming mode:
Press: #*0*1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 #
The dial tone will cease upon entry of the first digit. If you enter the access code
correctly, the dial tone should change to a different, steady Programming tone
and the bottom LED indicator on the front of the Phonecell will blink alternately
RED and GREEN to indicate that you’re in the programming mode.
3). Once in Programming mode:
Press: # *65 *< auto_PIN> *<PIN> #
• To disable automatic PIN entry, set the "auto PIN" value to 0.
• To enable automatic PIN entry, set the "auto PIN" value to 1.
You must enter either 0or 1, otherwise, the FWT will not update or store this
value and the existing stored parameter will remain. The factory default value is
0 (disabled). The factory default PIN setting within the FWT’s non-volatile
memory is "1234."
4) Correct entry will be confirmed by the return of the programming tone, which
signifies that the unit is ready to accept the next entry. Incorrect entry will result in
a short, three tone sequence of rising frequencies, followed by the return of the
programming tone, which again signifies that the unit is ready to accept the
corrected entry.
5) Hang up the telephone handset (place on-hook).
For Example: To enable automatic PIN entry for PIN "1234,"
dial: # *65 *1 *1234 #
IMPORTANT!
Automatic PIN entry must be disabled before the SIM is changed (including
initial entry) so that the PIN for the new SIM card can be entered correctly
before the GSM module requests the PIN.
Continued...
SX4e GSM 1900 22 USER MANUAL
SIM PIN Programming - continued
How to Change the PIN Value Entered by the Automatic PIN Entry Feature
REMINDER: Automatic PIN entry must be disabled - before and while the automatic
PIN entry value is changed - until programming of the new PIN and Auto PIN Entry
completed.
1) Using a tone-dial (DTMF) POTS telephone connected to the Phone port, lift up
the handset(take off-hook).
2) Enter the Programming mode:
Press: #*0*1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 #
The dial tone will cease upon entry of the first digit. If you enter the access code
correctly, the dial tone should change to a different, steady “Programming” tone
and the bottom LED indicator on the front of the Phonecell will blink alternately
RED and GREEN to indicate that you’re in the programming mode.
3) Press: # *64 *< old_PIN> *<new PIN> *<new PIN> #
The new SIM PIN will be supplied by the service provider with a new SIM.
If the SIM card is changed, the PIN must be reprogrammed using the above
command with the correct new PIN for the new SIM.
NOTE: The factory default PIN setting within the FWT’s non-volatile memory is
"1234."
4) Correct entry will be confirmed by the return of the programming tone, which
signifies that the unit is ready to accept the next entry. Incorrect entry will result in
a short, three tone sequence of rising frequencies, followed by the return of the
programming tone, which again signifies that the unit is ready to accept the
corrected entry.
5) Hang up the telephone handset (place on-hook).
For Example: To set up a new SIM with PIN "5678,"
dial: # *64 *1 2 3 4 *5 6 7 8 *5 6 7 8 #
NOTE: This procedure will not change the PIN encoded on the SIM. It will only
change the PIN stored in the FWT for automatic entry of the PIN when requested
by the GSM module.
If the SIM card in use has SIM PIN Entry enabled, it is strongly recommended
that Automatic PIN Entry be selected.
IMPORTANT!
You must enter the PIN correctly. After three attempts to load an incorrect PIN, the
SIM will be blocked and the SIM card will have to be unblocked. If you do not
have the unblocking key, the SIM will have to be returned to the service provider
for reactivation. See How to Unblock a SIM PIN to unblock a SIM card.

SX4e GSM 1900 23 USER MANUAL
How to Set a New PIN in the SIM
REMINDER: Automatic PIN entry must be disabled - before and while the SIM PIN
is changed - until programming of the new PIN and Auto PIN Entry (see previous
page) is completed.
1) Using a tone-dial (DTMF) POTS telephone connected to the Phone port, lift up
the handset (take off-hook).
2) Press: **04 *< old_PIN> *<new_PIN> *<new_PIN> #
NOTE: You must know the old PIN to change it and the new PIN must be 4 to 8
digits (0 −9) in length.
3) Incorrect entry of the old PIN will be indicated by a short, three tone sequence of
rising frequencies. Hang up the telephone handset and start over at step 1 with the
correct old PIN.
Incorrect length (less than 4 or more than 8 digits) of the new PIN or not entering
the same value in both new PIN entries will result in silence. Hang up the tele-
phone handset and start over at step1.
Correct entry will be confirmed by a short beep. Hang up the telephone handset.
For Example: To set up a new SIM with PIN "5678," where the old PIN is
“1234,” dial: ** 04 *1 2 3 4 *5 6 7 8 *5 6 7 8 #
NOTE: In case of PIN2, substitute the following step 2:
2) Press: **042 *<old_PIN2> *<new_PIN2> *<new_PIN2> #
NOTE: You must know the old PIN2 to change it and the new PIN2 must be 4 to
8 digits (0 −9) in length.
For Example: To set up a new SIM with PIN2 "5678," where the old PIN2 is
“1234,” dial: ** 042 *1 2 3 4 *5 6 7 8 *5 6 7 8 #
NOTE: This procedure will change the PIN encoded on the SIM. It will not
change the PIN stored in the FWT for automatic entry of the PIN when request-
ed by the GSM module. (See previous page for instructions on how to enter the
auto-entry PIN value).
How to Unblock a SIM PIN
Use the following key sequence to unblock a SIM card:
1) Press: ** 05 *<PIN_unblocking key> *<new_PIN *<new PIN> #
2) Press: **052 *<PIN2_unblocking key> *<new_PIN2 *<new PIN2> #
NOTE: This procedure will change the PIN encoded on the SIM. It will not
change the PIN stored in the FWT for automatic entry of the PIN when request-
ed by the GSM module. (See previous page for instructions on how to enter the
auto-entry PIN value).

How to Place a Call
1) Pick up your telephone handset (your phone is now “off-hook”).
2) Listen for dial tone (If service is not available, a No-Service tone is
produced. Hang-up the phone and try again. If the No-Service tone continues,
contact your service provider to make sure cellular service is activated.).
3) Dial the phone number.
How to Receive a Call
••When your telephone rings, pick up the handset and begin talking.
How to End a Call
••Hang-up the phone (place the handset back onto the telephone cradle).
The Hookflash Function
When you initiate the Hookflash function, it automatically lets you:
••Speed up the connection after you dial a phone number.
••Answer an incoming call that occurs when you’re dialing a phone number.
••Use special (supplementary) cellular services which may be available in your
cellular service area (see the Using Standard Supplementary Services section
of this manual).
How to Use the Hookflash Function
Depending upon your phone, there are two ways to initiate the Hookflash function:
••Press the dedicated “HOOKFLASH” or “FLASH” key on your telephone.
••Press the hang-up or switch-hook mechanism on your phone once quickly
(approximately 1/2-second).
Important Tones and Alerts
No-Service Tone – When cellular service is not available, the receiver emits a
No-Service (fast-beeping) tone instead of the normal (steady) dial tone.
ROH (Receiver Off-Hook) Tone – If the telephone equipment remains off-hook
(off its cradle) with no dialing activity for 45 seconds, the receiver emits an ROH
tone for 60 seconds.
Incoming Call Alert – If you’re dialing a number and an incoming call occurs,
the receiver will emit an audible ring. To answer the incoming call:
••Press the “HOOKFLASH” button once. This will connect the incoming call.
••OR hang-up immediately. This will cause the phone to start ringing.
Supplementary Service Dial Tone – When supplementary services are
enabled and active, the receiver may emit a special dial tone to indicate that
one or more services are active.
Roam Dial Tone – When cellular service is available, but the Phonecell is in a
Roam area, the receiver may emit a different dial tone to indicate the roaming
condition. However, unless the FWT is re-programmed in the field, the factory
default tone is set the same as normal service dial tone.
Non-Registered Service Tone – When the SIM Card is inactive, missing from
the Phonecell, or installed but requires PIN entry, the receiver emits a
non-registered service tone instead of the normal (steady) dial tone.

To Place All Active Calls on Hold and Make the Call to the Specified Phone
Number:
Press: PhoneNo <send>.
NOTE: When both a held and a waiting call exist in a conflicting situation, the
above procedures apply to the waiting call.
Call Waiting:
Permits a subscriber to be notified of an incoming call while the subscriber is
engaged in an active or held call. The subscriber can either accept, reject, or
ignore the incoming call.
Activate: *43 #
Deactivate: # 43 #
Interrogate: *# 43 #
Call Hold:
Allows a served subscriber, who is provisioned with this supplementary service, to
interrupt communication on an existing active call and then subsequently, if
desired, re-establish communication. The traffic channel remains assigned to the
subscriber after the communication is interrupted to allow origination or possible
termination of other calls.
Phonecell Operation - continued
How to Adjust the Volume Level
If the volume level on your phone is too high or too low, you can adjust the levels
using the keypad on your telephone. Note: your telephone must be in Tone-
Dial (DTMF) mode to adjust the levels.
To Increase Audio Level - Increase the audio level in steps by pressing:
# *8(also known as #*Up)
Continue to press #*8until the desired level is reached.
To Decrease Audio Level - Decrease the audio level in steps by pressing:
# *3(also known as #*Down)
Continue to press #*3until the desired level is reached.
NOTE: The default setting lets you adjust the audio up to three (3) steps from
the default volume in either direction (Up or Down). The volume setting
remains in effect for future calls until changed manually, even if the telephone
is on-hooked. If the Phonecell power is cycled (turned OFF/ON), the default
mid-range volume setting will be restored.
Variable Dial Time (Auto SEND Delay) Option
When you place a call, your Phonecell SX4e automatically sends the phone
number over the cellular network after you dial the last digit – just like a landline
phone. However, to make sure you have enough time to dial the last digit, a 3-sec-
ond Auto SEND Delay is programmed into the unit at the factory. To change the
Auto SEND Delay setting, see the How To Set the Auto SEND Delay section of this
manual.
Data After SEND (In-Call DTMF Signaling) Option
Depending upon your cellular provider, the Data After SEND option may need to be
Enabled or Disabled to use special cellular features such as call waiting, three-way
conference calls, voice mail, etc. Please consult your service provider for the
required Data After Send/In-Call DTMF Signaling configuration.
The factory default setting is 0 (In-Band Signaling only). To change the Data After
SEND setting, see the How To Set Data After SEND (In-Call DTMF Signaling) sec-
tion of this manual.
Zero Dial Delay for Frequently Called Numbers
A new patented feature enables the Phonecell to recognize your frequently called
phone numbers and send them immediately–without the 3-second Auto SEND
Delay. The Phonecell stores a list of up to 50 numbers in its memory. This list con-
tains any number that you’ve called at least twice successfully.
NOTE: Cycling (turning OFF/ON) the power will erase the current list. A new list will
be started when power is re-applied. To enable or disable this feature,
see the
Enable/Disable Zero Dial Delay for Frequently Called Numbers
section of this manual.

Caller ID Format
The Phonecell SX4e GSM 1900 FWT will support Caller ID device operation. The
FWT factory default format is designed to work for most Caller ID devices. If the
Caller ID device does not respond, then change the FWT Caller ID format using
the programming command below. The Phonecell can be programmed with an
ordinary touch-tone telephone.
NOTE: The User Programming mode is not accessible during a call. Refer to
the Phonecell SX4e Programming section of this manual to enter the
Programming Mode.
Enter Caller ID Format
The following key sequence is used to select the Caller ID format:
Press # *84 *<CID format> #
The Caller ID Format factory default value will work for most Caller ID devices. If
the Caller ID device does not respond, program a value of 1in the "CID Format"
field. If the Caller ID device still does not respond, then program a value of 2. If
the value is not in the range 0 to 2, it is considered invalid and the FWT will not
update or store this value; the currently stored value will remain. The factory
default value is 0.
When the FWT is programmed to Format 0, date and time information is not pro-
vided by the FWT. When the FWT is programmed to Format 1 or Format 2, the
FWT provides "January 1, Midnight" as generic time and date information. The
actual display of this generic date and time ("January 1, Midnight") will vary as it
is determined by the Caller ID device.
For Caller ID Devices with Date and Time Display
When the Caller ID device is first powered, the date and time information will
begin from "January 1, Midnight." The user cannot change the date and time
through the FWT.
When the Caller ID format is set to factory default 0, date and time will continue
to advance. Each incoming call will not affect the date and time.
When the Caller ID format is set to either 1 or 2, the date and time will be reset to
"January 1, Midnight" for each incoming call.

Using Standard Supplementary Services
Your Phonecell SX4e is compatible with a variety of special services, including:
••Call Forwarding
••Call Barring
••Call Waiting
••Three-Way Calling
••Caller ID
••Voice Mail
and more...
Depending upon your cellular provider, these services may be available on a
subscription basis. However, certain dialing sequences must be entered. Please
consult your service provider for the dialing instructions for your system.
Standard supplementary services are defined as those supplementary services
handled while not in a call. Depending on the supplementary service, several
commands may be available. The command list is defined below:
Registration - The programming by the user of information to enable subsequent
operation of a service. This action involves input of specific supplementary infor-
mation. For example, when call-forwarding registration is initiated by the user, a
forwarding number must be supplied.
Erasure - The deletion of information stored against a particular service by a pre-
vious registration.
Activation - An action taken by the FWT user to enable a previously registered
process to run.
Deactivation - An action taken by the FWT user to terminate the process started
at activation.
Depending on the supplementary service, additional parameters may be required
to successfully complete an operation, such as phone number or password. Some
supplementary services have optional parameters, such as Teleservice and/or
Delay settings. Delay is the amount of time to wait before completing performance
of a service that has a condition controlling its activity; for example, call forward
on no answer waits an amount of time equal to the "delay" for the phone to be
answered before declaring no answer and forwarding the call.
Teleservice:10 = All Teleservices, 11 = Speech, 12 = Data, 13 = Fax, 16 = SMS,
19 = All Teleservices except SMS.
Delay: 5-30 seconds
PhoneNo: Up to 20 digits (0-9)
NOTE: <send> is provided by the hookflash function (See the Hookflash

How to Make an Analog Fax Call
How To Make Analog Fax Calls
Analog (i.e. normal fax from fax machine) fax calls (CCITT Group 3, Bearer
Service TS 62) can be made from phone and fax jacks, depending on the option
set.
How to Send Fax Calls
Step by Step Fax Instructions
1. Set up your fax machine just as you would for a wired telephone.
2. Outgoing fax calls at the fax jack are processed directly. Outgoing fax
calls at the phone jack always require the analog fax bypass string,
since the default for this jack is voice calls. See the User Programming
Commands section of this manual for analog fax setup.
NOTE: Make sure the fax machine is properly connected as shown in Figure 7.
How to Receive Fax Calls
By factory default, you do not have to do anything to receive a fax, provided you
have set-up your fax machine as shown in Figure 7. However, the user can have
options to receive a fax through the phone port. Refer to the User Programming
section of this addendum for instructions on programming of the single jack option
and in-bound fax port option.
How to Set Up Analog Fax Bypass String
NOTE: The analog fax bypass string can only be used in single jack operation.
This feature allows the phone jack to process the next outgoing call as an analog
fax call. After this call, the phone jack automatically returns to the default voice
protocol. The user enters this string prior to dialing the telephone number. The ter-
minal interprets the string and properly sets up the call. Refer to the following
examples.
To Send a Fax on a Fax Machine Connected to the Phone Jack:
1. Lift up the handset (take off-hook).
2. Dial # *19 *1 #, followed by the fax number to be called.
3. Press START on the fax machine.
NOTE: If the fax machine does not have a handset, enter # *19 *1 #, followed by
the remote fax number to be called. Press START.
If the fax machine has the capability to store telephone numbers for speed dialing,
the # *19 *1 # command string may be programmed into the machine as a pre-
fix to the telephone number. With some machines, it may also be possible to store
the command string as a speed dial number and dial the remote fax machine tele-
phone number manually.

How to Make an Analog Fax Call
- continued
Dual/Single Jack Operation
Dual-Jack Operation
The Phonecell SX4e may be operated in either dual-jack or single-jack mode.
The factory default is dual-jack mode. In dual-jack operation, for outgoing calls,
the first jack to seize the line (go off-hook) will disconnect the other jack. The
other jack will remain disconnected until the first jack goes back on-hook. For
incoming calls, voice calls will be routed to the phone voice jack and fax calls will
be routed to the fax jack.
Single-Jack Operation
The analog fax jack can be disabled leaving only the voice phone jack opera-
tional (single-jack operation). In single-jack operation, voice calls can be placed
and received normally if a telephone is connected. If a fax is connected, incoming
analog fax calls can be received normally, but to place outbound fax calls using
the voice jack, a bypass sequence must be used as a prefix in the dialed tele-
phone number. The analog fax jack will not generate dial tone nor ring signal if it
is disabled.
How to Set ASingle - Jack Option
The following key sequence is used to enable or disable fax jack operation in
favor of single jack operation (all telephone calls through phone jack):
# *63 *<single jack> #
The single jack value is set to 0for single fax jack operation; 1for both voice and
fax jacks. If the single jack value is neither 0nor 1, it is considered invalid. The
factory default is 1.
How to Set In-Bound Fax Port Option
The following key sequence is used to enter the inbound fax port option:
# *67 *<fax_port> #
The fax port value is set to 1 incoming fax calls to the fax port (dual port opera-
tion), or phone port (single port operation), and 3to send incoming fax calls to
the DB - 9 PC port. If the fax port value is neither 1nor 3, it is considered invalid.
The factory default is 1.
NOTE: If the single jack option above is set to single, all incoming analog calls will
always go to the phone port.
SX4e GSM 1900 36 USER MANUAL
Phonecell SX4e Troubleshooting
Telephone Service is Not Working
If the telephone service is not working, first check the operation of the telephone
equipment and wiring connected to your Phonecell. Test the equipment on a different
service or piece of equipment to ensure proper operation, or connect a known good
telephone device to the phone port on the Phonecell unit. This will verify the condition
of the telephone equipment and the internal wiring of the telephone service to ensure
that it’s working properly. If the telephone system or wiring is not working properly,
replace or repair the equipment as required. Otherwise, contact your cellular provider
or your authorized Telular distributor.
Unable to Receive Incoming Calls
If more than one telephone or telephone device is connected to your Phonecell,
make sure that all devices are “on-hook” (hung up). If one extension is “off-hook”
(off its cradle), none of the extensions on your phone line will ring when an
incoming call occurs.
Moisture or Ventilation Problems
Visually inspect your Phonecell’s unit enclosure. Moisture can damage the equipment.
Ventilation is also very important. If there are moisture or ventilation problems, move
your Phonecell to correct as necessary, see the Temperature Environment section of
this manual.
No Power
The top LED lamp on the front of your Phonecell SX4e indicates the unit’s power
condition. If the LED is YELLOW or GREEN, your Phonecell is receiving power. If
the power cord is connected and the LED lamp is not lit, the Phonecell is not
receiving power. Verify that the AC power source and its corresponding circuit
breaker are functioning properly.
Battery Backup Failure
If you’re using the optional Inline Battery Backup Unit, the unit must be connected to
AC power for at least 24 hours to fully charge the batteries before they’ll provide back-
up power to your Phonecell. Verify that the batteries have been charged for at least 24
hours and that the power source and its corresponding circuit breaker are functioning
properly. Then, examine the batteries for physical damage and corrosion. Replace the
batteries if necessary.
WARNING!
Only Authorized Service Personnel should remove the cover of your
Phonecell. For further assistance, contact your Authorized Telular
Representative. Please have your units model and serial number ready.

Phonecell SX4e Programming
Phonecell SX4e User-Programming Commands
The Phonecell can be programmed on location with an ordinary telephone, which
is sometimes referred to as a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Set) phone. NOTE: the
User Programming mode is not accessible while you’re in a call.
In the following sections, an <entered value> is comprised of the digits 0through
9. The digits '*' and '#' are considered invalid when used inside an <entered
value>, and will cause that command/value to be rejected.
When you enter the programming mode, a timer is started. If there are no key
entries within any 2-minute period, the FWT will revert to its normal mode.
Going on-hook (hanging up the phone) will exit the programming mode.
Correct entry of the commands below will be confirmed by the return of the pro-
gramming tone, which signifies that the unit is ready to accept the next entry.
Incorrect entry will result in a short, three tone sequence of rising frequencies, fol-
lowed by the return of the programming tone, which again signifies that the unit is
ready to accept the corrected entry.
How to Enter the User Programming Mode
Use the following access code to enter the User Programming mode:
Press: #*0*1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 #
The access code is 8 digits. If the access code is not 8 digits or does
not match the access code, the Programming mode cannot be
entered. This code is pre-programmed during production and cannot
be changed in the field.
If you enter the access code correctly, the dial tone should change to a
different, steady “Programming” tone and the bottom LED indicator on
the front of the Phonecell will blink alternately RED and GREEN to
indicate that you’re in the programming mode.
