readout of the signal strength in dBm or a signal strength bar graph. This setting is programma-
ble. See the Phonecell SX4P Programming section of this manual.
•Direct Readout displays the signal strength as "-XXXdBm", where XXX refers to the signal
strength. The SX4P monitors signal strength in the range of -110dBm to -48dBm, where -
110dBm indicates no signal and -48dBm indicates the strongest signal. The factory setting is
the Direct Readout Mode.
•Signal Strength Bar Graph displays the signal strength as a series of solid block characters.
The stronger the signal, the more characters are displayed from left to right. To set Bar Graph
mode, see the Phonecell SX4P User-Programming Commands section of this manual.
NOTE: The 12th character (from left to right) is used as a separator only and does not provide
information - see Figure 10. A "||" character is displayed and is always displayed.
Call-Timer
The Call Timer icon appears when the SX4P begins a connected phone call. The call timer
begins as all zeros and increments every subsequent second. The timer will roll over back to
0:00 after 99:59. When the handset is placed on-hook (ends call), the call timer stops and dis-
plays the accumulated call time for thirty seconds. The Call Timer icon is then turned off.
If the handset goes off-hook and a digit is pressed within the thirty second period, the call time
display will immediately turn blank.

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 SX4P handset remains off-hook (off its cradle) with no dialing activity for 30 seconds, the
receiver emits an ROH tone for 45 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 Flash button once. This will connect the incoming call OR
• Hang-up immediately. This will cause the phone to start ringing.
Roam Dial Tone
When cellular service is available, but the SX4P is in a Roam area, the receiver may emit a dif-
ferent dial tone to indicate the roaming condition. However, unless the SX4P is re-programmed
in the field, the factory default tone is set the same as normal service dial tone.
Variable Dial Time (Auto Send Delay) Option
When you place a call, your SX4P automatically sends the phone number over the cellular net-
work after you dial the last digit. However, to make sure you have enough time to dial the last
digit, a 3-second Auto SEND Delay is programmed into the unit at the factory. To change the
Auto SEND Delay setting, see the User Programming Commands section of this manual.
Zero Dial Delay for Frequently Called Numbers
A new patented feature enables the Phonecell SX4P to recognize your frequently called phone
numbers and send them immediately – without the 3-second Auto Send Delay. The SX4P stores
a list of up to 50 different numbers in its memory. This list contains the last 50 numbers that have
been 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 User Set-Up Commands
section of this manual.

PGENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
Temperature Environment
The SX4P functions as both a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the SX4P receives and
sends radio frequency (RF) energy. The SX4P operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 894
MHz. It employs commonly used phase/frequency modulation techniques. When you use the SX4P,
the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your unit transmits.
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)
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 scien-
tists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry developed
this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pro-
posed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of your Telular Phonecell SX4P complies with this updated Standard. If you want to limit
RF exposure even further 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.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
The SX4P 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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Telular Corporation will void
your authority to operate the equipment per FCC part 15 paragraph 15.21. These limits are designed to pro-
vide 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 to cor-
rect 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.
Safe Operation Requirements
Antenna Care and Replacement
• The Phonecell must be either wall mounted or desk mounted and should not be operated when any person
is within 203 mm (8 inches) of the antenna.
• Attach either a lightning arrester or a ground wire on the antenna mast to an 8-foot ground rod or cold water
pipe.
• Do not use the Phonecell 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.
• Do not power unit until antenna is connected, as it may burn out the radio transmitter.
• Use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the Phonecell and will void the Grant of Type Acceptance.
• Your Phonecell SX4P 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 SX4P as this could cause the unit to overheat and fail.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
• Do not use the Phonecell SX4P in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the
area restrict cellular phone use.
NOTE: Consult the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal electronic device(s) (for example a
pacemaker or hearing aid) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information regarding medical devices.
CAUTION: When cleaning, do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
WARNING: Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
• Do not operate the Phonecell near blasting caps or in a blasting area.
• Do not install the Phonecell in any area with potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the area of your Phonecell or accessories.
