SX5 TROUBLESHOOTING
Telephone Service is Not Working (Cannot make or receive calls)
· Make sure the SX5 powered on properly.
· Make sure any equipment that is externally connected to the SX5 is correctly connected.
· Test any externally connected equipment on a known system to verify operation.
· Do you have the antenna connected? If not, connect the antenna.
· Is service established with a service provider? If so, is there any service provider issue. Your serv-
ice may be disconnected or not functioning properly. Contact your service provider is you think this
is the problem.
Unable to Receive Calls
·Is the handset on the cradle? If not, place the handset on the cradle and try again.
· Is the SX5 making a loud repetitive tone (ROH)? Then either speakerphone or the handset is off
hook. Hang-up and try again.
Unable to Make Calls
· If you do not hear standard dial tone when off hook, then your service has a problem. Contact
your service provider is you think this is the problem.
Unable to Send or Receive Circuit Switched Data (CSD) Calls
· Is your computer connected to the data port of the SX5? If not, connect the computer with an
appropriate data cable.
· Do you have CSD service on your wireless account? Contact your service provider for information.
· Is your computer configured properly to access data service with the SX5? Please reference the
data sections of this manual for proper setup.
Moisture or Ventilation Problems
· Is moisture forming on or around the SX5? Remove any moisture with a clean dry towel and move
the unit to a well ventilated area. Review the Temperature and Environment section of this manual
for more information.
No Power
· Is the power supply connected to the unit? Make sure power is available and that the power sup-
ply is properly connected to the SX5.
· The power supply is connected but the unit still has no power. Make sure the circuit is functioning

CONFORMANCE STATEMENTS
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This Phonecell®SX5 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 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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
The Phonecell®SX5 functions as both a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the SX5
receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The SX5 CDMA unit operates in the fre-
quency ranges of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and / or 1850 MHz to 1910 MHz. When you use the
SX5, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which the unit transmits.
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®SX5 complies with this updated Standard. Of course, 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.
Safe Operation Requirement
The Phonecell®SX5 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.
Temperature and Environment
Operating Temperature: From -10°C to +50°C ; Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
Storage Temperature: From -40°C to +60°C; Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the Phonecell®SX5 with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into con-
tact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Have your antenna replaced by a qualified technician
immediately. Use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the Phonecell®SX5.
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 juris-
diction does not have such a law, we strongly suggest that, for safety reasons, 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
Phonecell®SX5 CDMA 21 User Manual
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®SX5 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®SX5 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 device while the plane is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your Phonecell®SX5 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®SX5 OFF when in a "blasting area" or in
areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio."
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your Phonecell®SX5 OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is
rare, but your Phonecell®SX5 or its accessories 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 powders; 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®SX5
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.
