F221m
The F221m is the best quality solution for providing
access to fixed services either when no traditional
fixed infrastructure is available or if an additional
phone line is required.
With the F221m terminal, the user does not have to
wait for the fixed telephone network infrastructure to
be developed, as long as GSM services are available
in the area.
The F221m terminal can be easily installed by the enduser following the instructions provided in this guide:
• install the terminal
• run cabling from the F221m to any location in your
house
• you will be ready to connect and use standard
telephones, fax machines, computers (Internet) in
the usual way
The terminal features the latest technology, which
makes it perfect for everyday communication:
• Triple band GSM (E-GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM
1900)
• Telephone line providing high quality speech
(EFR), G3 fax and up to V.90 data transmission
• GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), which keeps
you always on line and facilitates rapid transmission
of data (ideal for e-mail and Internet browsing)
• HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data), which
further enhances data transmission
• Embedded modem available over the RS232 port
• Battery back-up

SIM card
holder
Power connector
SIM card
Your network operator provides you with a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card
contains information about your telephone number
and the services included in your subscription, among
other things.
Warning!: the FCT has to be switched off before
inserting or removing your SIM card.
Connections
Warning!: please, before you start any connections
refer to section “Safe and Efficient Use” on page 49
in this guide and contact your network operator if
you have any questions.
Warning!: to get a good FCT protection against
electrical discharges and the best audio quality, a
good grounding of the power supply is strongly
recommended.
Installing the FCT as a telephone line
The FCT is designed to provide a telephone line
(RJ11 connector) to which up to 3 Fixed Line devices
can be connected in parallel. The FCT provides a
single telephone line, which means that only one
communication can take place simultaneously, in the
same way as the ordinary fixed line (you cannot, for
example, receive or originate a telephone call while
sending or receiving a fax).
Warning!: in order to avoid GSM interferences
(noise), place the FCT at least 3 meters (horizontal)
away from electronic devices, including the
telephone equipment connected to the FCT, or other
household electronic devices such as televisions or
radio receivers. The difference in height should be
at least 2 meters (vertical). This is not necessary if
you use telephone devices that fulfil the Immunity
Characteristics settled by the IEC CISPR-24
standard. In this case, a minimum security distance
of 20 cm is recommended.
Connections9
The FCT is also equipped with an RS232 port that
enables you to use it as a GSM modem for PC fax,
data and SMS services. For this specific
configuration, please refer to the FCT DataReference Manual. See Accessories on page 39.
Preparing your FCT
You need to follow these steps before you install the
FCT on the wall and make all definitive connections.
Warning!: the FCT should be switched off before
inserting or removing your SIM card or connecting
any devices to the FCT.
Assembly
1. Connect the antenna.
10Connections
2. Remove the front cover, pressing down and
pushing the small tab that is in the center of the
bottom part of the FCT. Open the SIM Card
holder shifting the mobile part of the holder and
then rotating it to place the connector upwards.
3. Close the SIM Card holder, placing it horizontally
and assuring it with the holder mobile part.
4. Optionally install the battery on the battery
compartment (over the SIM Card). To do so,
connect the battery cable to the FCT connector.
Connect the black cable to the negative pole of the
battery, and the red cable to the positive cable. Fit
the cable under the holding tab (over the SIM Card)
and insert the battery until it is hold by the tab.
5. Place the front cover back in its previous position.
Connect a telephone to the FCT
Connect a fixed telephone to the FCT telephone line.
Important: you will use this telephone to dial the PIN.
Switch on the FCT
Connect the power supply. The FCT switches on
automatically and the green and red light indicators
start flashing.
Enter PIN
Most SIM cards are protected with a PIN (Personal
Identity Number), which you get from your network
operator and which you need in order to access the
network.
If the SIM card is not protected by a PIN code, then
you do not need to enter the PIN. The FCT starts the
network search automatically.
If the SIM card is protected by the PIN code, then the
green and red lights will flash simultaneously.
Note: if you have the DA20 display adapter
accessory (See “Accessories” on page 39), an
“Enter PIN” message will show on your display.
Please follow these steps to enter the PIN:
• Pick up the telephone and dial the PIN code.
Press the # key on your telephone or wait until you
hear a beep tone.
• If you make a mistake while entering your PIN,
hang up the telephone immediately and try again.
If the PIN is correct, you will hear a beep over the
telephone (positive indication tone). If it is incorrect,
a deep tone will sound (error indication tone).
If the PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the SIM
card will be blocked. If this happens, you can
unblock it by using the PUK (Personal Unblocking
Key), which you also get from your network operator.
See SIM Card Security on page 31.
Note: once you have entered the PIN code for the
first time, you will not have to enter it again unless
you change your SIM card. The FCT performs this
operation automatically in case of power failure.
Connections11
Network search
After you have switched on your FCT and entered the
PIN, the FCT automatically searches for a network.
Note: if the red light is off, there is a problem with
the power supply. See “Troubleshooting and FCT
indicators” on page 33.
When a network is found, the green light switches
on or flashes depending on the GSM signal strength.
See Light Indicators on page 33.
Note: if the green light is off, you do not have access
to the GSM network at your present location.
Now you have prepared the FCT for wall installation.
Please, follow the instructions below for complete
wall installation.
Installing the FCT on the wall
FCT Location
The GSM signal strength available at the FCT
location affects the performance of the unit. The
stronger the GSM signal, the better the FCT
performance.
12Connections
ip: test several potential locations by moving the
T
FCT while looking at the green light. Select the
location where the green light is steady, or the
location with the highest amount of flashes.
Note: moving the FCT as little as 20 cm can affect
the GSM reception quality.
Location Testing

0 Unacceptable
1 - - - Acceptable
2 - - - - - - Good
3 - - - - - - - - - Very good
Steady ------------------------------- Excellent
Please consider the following recommendations:
• Always select anindoor location, preferably close to
a window and the roof. Generally,you willexperience
better GSM signal strength in these places.
• Do not install the FCT in a bathroom, a wet or
damp basement or an outdoor location.
• Do not install the FCT on walls or rooms that
contain large amounts of metal, steel or wiring.
• Do not expose the FCT to extreme temperatures
(near radiators, cooling vents, etc).
If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor
antenna may result in improvement.
See Accessories on page 39.
Wall mounting
Please proceed as indicated in the following picture.
1) Fix the wall-mounting bracket on the wall
2) Insert the FCT in the wall-mounting bracket
3) Shift the FCT down
Connections13
Warning!: once you have fixed the FCT to the wall
and switched it on, check the final status of the red
and green lights. If either one is off, there is a
problem with the power supply or the GSM signal.
See “Troubleshooting and FCT indicators” on
page 33.
Now the FCT is ready for connecting devices and
making calls.
Note: if you want to remove the FCT from the wall
bracket, then you have to press the flap (step 1) as
indicated in the following picture and then shift the
FCT upwards (step 2).
Connecting fixed line devices
Connect the fixed line devices to the FCT (telephone
line connector) with telephone wire in the same way
as with an analog telephone line.
Fixed line devices are connected in parallel. You can
connect the devices directly to the FCT telephone line
connector (RJ11) or make an internal telephone
wiring, use RJ11 splitters or similar connectors.

Note: when making the connections, the two-wire
telephone cable polarity does not affect at all.
ip: if your house or company is already wired with
T
telephone cable, you only need to connect the cable
to the FCT RJ11 connector and your telephone line
will be up and running in all rooms.
Note: it is strongly recommended that the telephone
wire is installed indoors in order to avoid lightning
damage.
Note: the telephone wire should not exceed 600
meters. Larger distances can be achieved by using
high quality telephone wire.
Checking connections
Once the fixed line devices (1 up to 3) have been
connected, make the “Ring Back Test” as follows in
order to check the connections:
• Lift one telephone and dial **#10#. You will hear a
beep tone (the FCT red and green lights will start
flashing - three flashes synchronized).
• Hang up the telephone and check if all the
connected telephones start ringing.
• Lift any of the telephones connected and then hang
it up again. The ringing will stop (the red and green
lights will go to normal operation mode).
ip: if any of the telephones has not been ringing,
T
check your telephone cable layout and connections to
make sure that all devices are properly connected.
Checking the calls quality
Use any of the telephones connected to the FCT to
make a call. Check the speech quality and ask the
receiver to call you back to confirm that you can also
receive calls.
If you have problems, see Troubleshooting and FCTindicators on page 33.
Connections15
Using telephones
Fixed telephones connected to the FCT telephone line
work in the same way as if they were connected to a
fixed network.
Warning!: you will not be able to make or receive
data or fax calls while a speech call is ongoing.
Note: you can also benefit from some FCT
functionality that you do not usually have on your
fixed network. See “Advanced features” on page 22.
You can find detailed information about the tones that
the FCT sends on Audible tones page 36.
16Using telephones
Using CLI displays
Devices that display the incoming number (telephones
with display, external displays, etc.) can be directly
connected to the FCT line interface in the same way as
an ordinary telephone. If your subscription includes
the Calling Line Identification (CLI) service and the
caller´s network sends the number, the FCT will send
the caller´s number towards your CLI display.
In general, your FCT will be programmed (according
to your country specifications) to send the CLI
information with the right standard so that your CLI
device works properly.
Refer to your CLI telephone or display user guide for
further explanations on your CLI indications.
ip: if you run the Ring Back Test on page 14
T
(lift the telephone, dial **#10# and hang up), you can
check if the following number “1234567890” appears
on your CLI display. If it does not, the FCT is not
using the right standard.
If you experience that your CLI device is not
showing the calling numbers, you may need to
change the FCT settings.
This is done by dialing one of the following
sequences, depending on the CLI standard that your
CLI device supports (check its user guide).
CLI standard Dialing sequence
ETSI DTMF**0002*1#
ETSI V.23**0002*2#
Bellcore**0002*3#
ip: if you cannot figure out which CLI standard to
T
use, try all three sequences, following each of them
by a Ring Back Test. The CLI standard whose Ring
Back Test prints a “1234567890” on your display will
be the correct one.
In order to disable the CLI Display functionality and
therefore stop viewing calling numbers, dial
**0002*0# from a DTMF (Pulses) telephone
connected to the FCT.
ip: if you do not want your telephone number to
T
appear at the caller’s location, you can dial #31#
before the phone number you are going to call
(B-number); in other words, dial #31#B-Number.
To find out about the DA20 accessory display, please
check Accessories on page 39.
Using CLI displays17
Using fax machines
The FCT terminal allows the connection of Group 3
analog faxes to the FCT telephone line, in the same
way as a telephone.
Warning!: the fax communication service has to be
registered with your network operator. Otherwise,
the network will not allow faxes to be sent or received.
Warning!: you will not be able to make or receive
other calls while a fax communication is established
Sending a fax
The FCT terminal is programmed to automatically
detect outgoing calls made by an analog fax, meaning
that the user simply has to use the fax in the same
way as a conventional telephone line.
Warning!: if your fax is an old model and is not
able to send the fax identification, CNG tone, you
should include *01* before the destination number
(B-number) in order to inform the FCT that the
next call is a fax call (Example: *01*B-number).
This is not usually necessary, as most faxes
automatically send the CNG tone so that the fax call
is made automatically by the FCT.
18Using fax machines
Receiving a fax
Incoming faxes are received in the same way as using
the fixed line.
Note: if you have a SIM card that does not support
separate voice and fax numbers, the FCT does not
recognize the type of incoming call. This means that
the calling party will have to inform you each time a
fax is about to be sent. In this case, dial *9901# to
prepare your FCT to receive a fax call.
Using PCs
Analog modems connected to the FCT telephone line
work in the same way as if they were connected to
the fixed line. In this way, you can use your PC
standard modem to make data calls (Internet
browsing, e-mail, etc.) through the FCT line.
To be able to send and receive data calls, you need:
– a PC equipped with an analog modem and the
appropriate computer program (Web Browser,
E-mail, etc). This is a standard configuration for
most PCs in the market.
– a SIM card that supports data transmission over the
GSM network.
Note: if you do not have a modem in your PC, the
FCT can be configured to act as a modem itself.
This requires the installation of the FCT modem
drivers on your PC. For this specific configuration,
please refer to the FCT Data Reference Manual in
“Accessories” on page 39.
The FCT should be pre-configured with the settings
from your network operator. For detailed information
on FCT data configured settings, please consult your
distributor or network operator.
You can choose between two connection methods:
• GPRS data: GPRS allows you to be always online
as you are not charged for the connection time but
for the amount of information that you exchange.
You need a SIM card that supports GPRS. Please
contact your network operator for charging
subscription details.
• GSM data: normally, you pay for all the time you
are connected. You need a SIM card that supports
GSM data.
For fast and efficient access, try the GPRS access type.
GPRS data access type
GPRS data access type allows you to make outgoing
calls only, usually to connect to the Internet.
Your GSM network operator provides you with an
Internet connection as part of the GPRS service.
Warning!: the GPRS data communication service
has to be registered with your network operator.
Otherwise, the network will not accept GPRS calls.
If your SIM card supports GPRS, your network
operator must supply you with a user name and
password in order to access the GPRS network, and
Using PCs19
optionally, to improve the Internet connection, a DNS
address and a Proxy address. All these settings will
allow you to configure the Dial-up Networking
program in your PC in order to establish a GPRS
connection.
Note: this procedure is similar to the way you
configure an Internet connection from a specific ISP
(Internet Service Provider).
If your network operator has provided you with an
installation guide, please follow the instructions
included in the guide.
Otherwise, the present manual explains the
installation process. As the Dial-up Networking is
different for Windows 98 and Windows NT, two
separate descriptions are provided. See Annex: PC Data Configurations on page 41.
If you encounter problems during installation, please
contact your distributor or network operator.
GSM data access type
GSM data access type allows you to make both
incoming and outgoing data calls in the same way as
with a fixed line. Therefore, you can connect to the
20Using PCs
Internet using the same ISP (Internet Service
Provider) that you would use with a fixed line.
Warning!: you will not be able to make or receive
other calls while a GSM data communication is
established.
The SIM card must support GSM data.
The network operator does not need to supply any
specific information, and it is your ISP who provides
you with the user name, password and installation
information in order to establish an Internet connection.
Please contact your ISP for installation instructions.
Note: your PC should be configured in exactly the
same way as if using the fixed line.
T
ip: if you already have an Internet connection
configured for the fixed line, you do not need to
make any changes, just connect your PC to the FCT
line instead of the fixed line.
Warning!: if your modem is an old model and it is
not able to send the CNG tone, you should include
*02* before the destination number (B-number) in
order to indicate the FCT that the call to be made is
a data call (Example: *02*B-number). This is not
usually necessary, as most modems automatically
send the CNG tone so that the data call is made
automatically by the FCT.
Incoming data calls are received in the same way as
using the fixed line.
Note: if you have a SIM card that does not support
separate voice and data numbers, the FCT does not
recognize the type of incoming call. This means that
the calling party will have to inform you each time a
data call is about to be made. In this case, dial
*9902# to prepare your FCT to receive a data call.

SIM card security
To manage your SIM card
Most SIM cards are locked at the time of purchase.
If the SIM card lock is on, you have to enter your
PIN (Personal Identity Number) the first time you use
your FCT. See Enter PIN on page 11.
Note: once you have entered the PIN code for the
first time you will not have to enter it again unless
you change your SIM card. The FCT performs this
operation automatically in case of power failure.
If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in a
row, the SIM card will be blocked.
Note: if you have the DA20 accessory display
(See “Accessories” on page 39), an “ENTER PUK”
message will show on your display indicating that
your SIM card is blocked.
To unblock your SIM card
To unblock your SIM card, you need to enter your
PUK (Personal Unblocking Key), which is supplied
by your network operator.
The procedure to enter the PUK is exactly the same
as for entering the PIN.
Note: if you enter the wrong PUK ten times in a row,
your card will be permanently blocked. If this
happens, you should contact your network operator.
To change your PIN
Your can change the PIN in the SIM card by dialing
from the fixed line telephone connected to the FCT
the following sequence:

information and operating instructions.
Product care
• Do not expose your FCT to liquid or moisture.
• Do not expose your FCT to extreme high or low
temperatures.
• Do not expose your FCT to lit candles, cigarettes,
or cigars, or to open flames etc.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your FCT. A broken
warranty seal will void the warranty. The product
does not contain consumer serviceable components.
Only Ericsson Service Points or Certified Service
Centres should perform service.
• Do not use any accessories other than Ericsson
originals with the exception of products approved
by Bluetooth Qualification Review Board. Use of
non-Ericsson original accessories may result in loss
of performance, damage to the product, fire, electric
shock or injury. The warranty does not cover
product failures that have been caused by use of
non-Ericsson original accessories.
• Treat your product with care. Keep it in a clean and
dust-free place.
Antenna care
• Use only an antenna that has been specifically
designed for your FCT. Use of unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the FCT and may violate the appropriate
regulations, causing loss of performance and radio
frequency (RF) energy above the recommended
limits.
• Do not hold or touch the antenna when the FCT is
in use. Holding or touching the antenna affects call
quality.
• Do not use the FCT if the antenna or antenna cable
is damaged or missing.
• Do not place the telephone cord or the power supply
cord on or near the FCT antenna or antenna cable.
• Do not cover or place an obstruction on or around
the antenna.
Safe and efficient use49
Radio frequency energy
Your FCT is a radio transmitter and receiver. When
the FCT is turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) energy. The system that handles your
call when you are using your FCT controls the power
level at which your FCT transmits.
All Ericsson terminals are designed to not exceed the
limits for exposure to RF energy set by national
authorities and international health agencies.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) measurements are
usually performed for products that are normally used
at the ear. As the FCT is not to be used close to the
human body, as it is at least 20 cm apart from the
telephone device (See installation instructions), SAR
measurements are not applicable to the FCT.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example
equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF
energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not,
and so Radio Frequency (RF) energy from the FCT
terminal may affect some electronic equipment,
therefore:
50Safe and efficient use
• Do not use your FCT near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
• Do no use your FCT in airplanes.
• Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of
an FCT very close to a pacemaker might cause the
device to malfunction.
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed if placed very
near the FCT.
Multiple electrical devices connected to the AC
power outlet that is used by the FCT terminal may
generate excessive interference to the FCT terminal.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Do not use the FCT near a gas leak. Use a telephone
away from the area of the suspected gas leak to
immediately report it.
Turn off the FCT in areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, for example: gas stations, below deck on
boats, fuels or chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemical or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal powders. It is rare, but
your FCT or its accessories could generate sparks.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the areas where the FCT is installed.
Power supply
• Ensure that your AC power outlet is adequately
grounded, that it is situated near the FCT and it is
easily accessible.
• Connect the power supply cord only to the AC
power outlet that meet the specifications marked on
the FCT power supply.
• Never alter the AC power cord or plug. If necessary
have the correct outlet installed by a qualified
electrician or call your service provider for
assistance.
• To reduce risk of damage to the electric cord,
remove it from the outlet by holding onto the AC
adapter rather than the cord.
• Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
Children
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH
YOUR FCT SINCE IT CONTAINS SMALL PARTS
THAT COULD BECOME DETACHED AND
CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.
Disposing of the product
The product should never be placed in municipal
waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of
electronic products.
Battery information
If you use the battery back-up function of the FCT,
please take into account the following information:
Lead Battery
• Before installing the battery in its compartment, be
sure to connect the battery cable properly: connect
the positive terminal of the battery cable to the
positive terminal on the battery.
• Make sure to connect the FCT power supply first,
before you connect the battery to the FCT.
• The FCT will automatically recharge the lead battery
• The first time the battery is used, it is recommended
that you charge it for 3 hours if you intend to power
the FCT from the battery only.
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if
treated properly.
Warning!: when a battery is not installed or is
connected to an FCT that is switched off, it should
be recharged during 24 hours every 6 months.
Safe and efficient use51
• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures,
never above +60°C. For maximum battery capacity,
use the battery in room temperature.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to open flames.
This could cause the battery to explode.
• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth.
Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
• Do not puncture or burn the battery. The battery
contains corrosive liquids and materials.
• If the battery leaks and the liquid inside spills on
the skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with
plenty of clean water. If the liquid splashes into
eyes, immediately flush the eyes with plenty of
clean water and consult a doctor.
AA batteries
• Use only AA-1.5V alkaline batteries with the FCT
battery holder accessory. See Accessories on
page 39.
52Safe and efficient use
• If you use rechargeable AA batteries, these will
need to be recharged using an external charger,
never in the FCT.
Disposing of the battery
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste.
Please check local regulations for disposal of batteries.
Moving or storing the FCT
Turn off the FCT by disconnecting the power supply
as well as the battery (if it is installed).
If you are transporting the FCT on an aircraft, you
will be asked to remove the battery from the unit. For
updated information about the transportation and use
of wireless communication equipment, contact the
appropriate local and national regulatory agency or
your service provider.
Accessing the battery compartment
This label appears under the battery
compartment indicating that the FCT
should always be switched off before
attempting to access the battery
compartment.
