Description

The C3 Cellular Communications Center is a wireless cellular
communicator that allows phone calls to be made over the GSM
cellular network using the existing telephones in your home. The
C3 can be used when there is no landline in your home or the
landline is temporarily unavailable.

Use with security systems…

The C3 allows any existing security panel to communicate alarm
conditions using the GSM cellular network. The C3 checks the
status of the existing PSTN telephone line and if it is unavailable,
the C3 will emulate the line signal to the security panel. When an
alarm occurs, the security panel will dial out using the GSM cellular
network to communicate with the central monitoring station.

Used as Backup phone service (landline unavailable)

Everyday use…

When the C3 is connected to the GSM cellular network, attached
telephones can be used to make calls. If a landline is present, you
will hear the normal dial tone and you can make your call as normal
using the landline service. However, if the landline is currently
unavailable, you will hear a different tone which indicates the C3 is
in cellular mode and the call will be made using the cellular network.
If the landline is available, but you still want to make the call using
the cellular network, when you pick up the phone and hear the
normal dial tone, press the ‘*’ key on the phone and the C3 will
switch to GSM mode. At that point, you will hear the cellular mode
tone and you can make the call using the GSM cellular network.

When a call is made to the phone number assigned to the GSM
SIM card that is installed in the C3, any phones that are connected
to the C3 will ring as they normally would when a landline call is
received.

Used as Primary phone service (no landline)
