To Install the SIM
The GSM module within the Phonecell®SX5 requires a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM)
for normal operation. The service provider supplies a SIM card, which carries the account infor-
mation needed to operate the Phonecell®SX5. The mini-SIM compartment is on the back of the
Phonecell®SX5 - see Figure 11.
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 holder.
7) Reattach the SIM compartment cover with the
screw.
8) Reconnect DC power.
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®SX5 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®SX5 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®SX5 emits a SIM
Inactive tone. The SIM PIN can be manually entered at that time by dialing the PIN and press-
ing #. If entry is successful, the SIM Inactive tone will be replaced by service dial tone.
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®SX5 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 0 or 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.
Phonecell®SX5e GSM 8Technical Manual
5) Hang up the telephone handset (place on-hook).
For Example: To enable automatic PIN entry for PIN "1234," dial: # * 65 * 1 * 1234 #
Phonecell®SX5e GSM 9Technical Manual
To Change the PIN Value Entered by the Automatic PIN Entry Feature
Automatic PIN entry must be disabled when youl program the new PIN and Auto PIN Entry.
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®SX5 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.
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 fre-
quencies. 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 telephone 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 requested by the GSM module. (See pre-
vious page for instructions on how to enter the auto-entry PIN value).

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 requested by the GSM module. (See pre-
vious page for instructions on how to enter the auto-entry PIN value).
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.
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).
Tto 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®SX5 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 serv-
ice dial tone.
Non-Registered Service Tone – When the SIM Card is inactive, missing from the Phonecell®
SX5, or installed but requires PIN entry, the receiver emits a
non-registered service tone instead of the normal (steady) dial tone.
How to Use Call-Dependent Supplementary Services
Call-dependent supplementary services are those services handled within an active call. These
features are network-dependent. Check with your cellular provider to determine available fea-
tures.
Use the following commands to activate the call-dependent supplementary services:
NOTE: <send> is provided by the hookflash function (See the Hookflash Function section of
this manual).
To Release All Held Calls or Set User Determined User Busy For a Waiting Call:
Press: 0 <send>.
To Release All Active Calls and Accept the Held/Waiting Call:
Press: 1 <send>.
To Release a Specific Active Call x:
Press: 1 x <send> (x represents the call ID 1-7).
To Place All Active Calls on Hold and Accept the Held/Waiting Call:
Press: 2 <send>.
To Place All Active Calls on Hold Except Call x:
Press: 2 x <send> (x represents the call ID 1-7).
To Add a Held Call to the Conversation:
Press: 3 <send>.
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 proce-
dures 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 commu-
nication. The traffic channel remains assigned to the subscriber after the communication is inter-
rupted to allow origination or possible termination of other calls.
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 key-
pad 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 # * 8 until 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 # * 3 until the desired level is reached.
NOTE: The default setting lets you adjust the audio up to three (3) steps from the default vol-
ume 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®SX5 power is cycled
(turned OFF/ON), the default mid-range volume setting will be restored.
Phonecell®SX5e GSM 12 Technical Manual
Variable Dial Time (Auto SEND Delay) Option
When you place a call, your Phonecell®SX5 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-second 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) section of this manual.
Zero Dial Delay for Frequently Called Numbers
A new patented feature enables the Phonecell®SX5 to recognize your frequently called phone
numbers and send them immediately–without the 3-second Auto SEND Delay. The Phonecell®
SX5 stores a list of up to 50 numbers in its memory. This list contains 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®SX5 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®SX5
can be programmed with an ordinary touch-tone telephone.
NOTE: The User Programming mode is not accessible during a call. Refer to
the Phonecell®SX5 Programming section of this manual to enter the Programming Mode.
To 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 1 in 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 con-
sidered 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 provided 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.
Phonecell®SX5e GSM 13 Technical Manual
Using Standard Supplementary Services
Your Phonecell®SX5 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 information. 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 previous registra-
tion.
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 activi-
ty; 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 Function section of
this manual).
Call Forwarding Unconditional:
Allows a called subscriber to have the network send immediately all incoming calls, or just those
associated with a specific teleservice, addressed to the called subscriber's directory number to
another directory number.
Register:* * 21 * Ph No * Teleservice # <Send> or * 21 * Ph No * Teleservice #
<Send>
Erase:# # 21 * Teleservice # <Send>

ANALOG FAX
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.
To Send Fax Calls
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.
To Receive Fax Calls
By factory default, you do not have to do any-
thing 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.
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 terminal 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 prefix to the telephone number.
With some machines, it may also be possible to store the command string as a speed dial num-
ber and dial the remote fax machine telephone number manually.
Figure 10 - Analog Fax Connection.
Dual/Single Jack Operation
The Phonecell®SX5 may be operated in either dual-jack or single-jack mode. The factory
default is dual-jack mode.
Dual-Jack Operation
In dual-jack operation, for outgoing calls, the first jack to seize the line (go off-hook) will discon-
nect 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 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 pre-
fix in the dialed telephone number. The analog fax jack will not generate dial tone nor ring signal
if it is disabled.
To Set A Single - 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.
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 operation), or phone
port (single port operation), and 3 to send incoming fax calls to the DB - 9 PC port. If the fax
port value is neither 1 nor 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.

PHONECELL SX5E 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®SX5. 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®SX5. 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 sys-
tem 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®SX5, 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®SX5’s unit enclosure. Moisture can damage the equipment.
Ventilation is also very important. If there are moisture or ventilation problems, move your
Phonecell®SX5 to correct as necessary. See the Temperature Environment section of this man-
ual.
No Power
The power LED lamp on the front of your Phonecell®SX5 indicates the unit’s power condition. If
the LED is GREEN, your Phonecell®SX5 is receiving power. If the power cord is connected and
the LED lamp is not lit, the Phonecell®SX5 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 battery, the unit must be connected to AC power for at least 15 hours to fully
charge the battery before it will provide back-up power to your Phonecell®SX5. Verify that the
battery has been charged for at least 15 hours and that the power source and its corresponding
circuit breaker are functioning properly. Then, examine the battery for physical damage and cor-
rosion. Replace the battery if necessary.
Phonecell®SX5e GSM 27 Technical Manual
SAFETY INFORMATION
Your Phonecell®SX5 functions as both a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the FWT
receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The GSM 800 unit operates in the fre-
quency range between 824 and 894 MHz, and the GSM 1900 between 1850 MHz and 1990
MHz. Both employ commonly used phase/frequency modulation techniques. When you use your
Phonecell®SX5, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your
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
Do not operate your Phonecell®SX5 when any person is within 8 inches (20 cm) of the antenna.
Temperature Environment
Operating Temperature: From -20°C to +60°C ; Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
Storage Temperature: From -25°C to +75°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
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Have your antenna replaced by a qualified tech-
nician immediately. Use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifi-
cations, 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.
Exposure to electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellu-
lar 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.

Phonecell®SX5e GSM 29 Technical Manual
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

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. These limits are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gen-
erates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance 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.
WARNING!
Your Phonecell®SX5 is intended either to be wall mounted or mounted on a
flat surface to allow proper ventilation. Do not block the space beneath your
Phonecell®SX5 as this could cause the unit to overheat and fail.
