Description
WEB VERSION
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.
BACKUP CELLULAR SERVICE
Use landline or cellular service.
Automatically switches to
cellular when landline is down.

WEB VERSION
When the C3 is connected to the GSM cellular network, all 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 ‘*’ and
‘*’ 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. If your phone is equipped with Caller ID, the number of the calling
party is displayed.

SIM Card
A GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module)
is required for operation. The SIM card contains subscriber information about your cellular
service including the telephone number.
Typically, an additional line can be added to a GSM cellular plan by your provider for a nominal
monthly fee. You can use the SIM card from the additional line in the C3 unit. Another option
is to use a prepaid SIM card. Prepaid SIM cards can be used in the C3 as long as the SIM
card isn’t locked to a handset.

Making Calls
WEB VERSION
To make a phone call, simply pick up a connected telephone and listen for a dial tone.
Whenever a connected phone is taken off-hook, the In Use Indicator is illuminated.
If a PSTN landline is connected, you will hear the normal dial tone. Simply make your call
as normal. If the landline is temporarily unavailable, the C3 will automatically switch to GSM
mode.
If a PSTN landline is not present or is temporarily unavailable, the GSM network will be used.
You will hear a dial tone with a different cadence from the normal PSTN dial tone. When you
hear this dial tone, you know that the PSTN landline is currently unavailable and you are using
the GSM network.
When connected to a security system and an alarm occurs, the call will be made using the
GSM network as if using the PSTN landline.
Making a call using the GSM network
1) Pick up the phone and listen for the GSM dial tone.
2) Dial the phone number you wish to call and then press the ‘#’ key on the phone keypad.
The call will be made immediately.
3) When the call is connected, the Talk Indicator is illuminated.
Note: If you do not press the ‘#’ key after dialing the phone number, the call will automatically
be made several seconds after the last digit was entered.
When a landline is present
If you would like to make a phone call using the GSM network even when a PSTN landline is
available, you may do so as follows:
1) Pick up the phone and listen for the normal dial tone.
2) Press the ‘*’ key twice (i.e. * *) on the phone keypad.
3) You will immediately hear the GSM dial tone.
4) Dial the phone number you wish to call as described above.
