Introduction
Security
Congratulations on choosing the Maxon MX-1111 dual
Mode Cellular mobile phone.
1
The MX-1111 Phone has been designed to operate on
both the digital CDMA Cellular network and the analog
1.1
AMPS network.
To help you understand the features of the MX-1111
and how it operates on a cellular networks, we have
included a glossary of common terms in Section 13 of
this guide and have provided information about the
cellular networks on pages 4.1 and 5.7.
Your mobile phone is intended for use with the
supplied rechargeable battery, charger and any of the
approved accessories shown in section 14 of this user
guide. Usage of devices and accessories not approved
for this unit may invalidate any approval given to this
equipment and may be dangerous.
The MX-1111 conforms to IS-95A, IS-96A and IS-98 A
standards for cellular dual mode mobile phones.
Maxon reserves the right to make changes and
improvements to any of the products described in this
guide without prior notice.
If your phone is lost or stolen, you must report it to your
network operator or service provider so that they can
restrict the phone from use.
This is important, as you may be liable for the cost of
unauthorized calls until the equipment is restricted.
You can help prevent mobile phone crime by taking the
following precautions:
- set the phone in lock mode.
- set call restrictions.
- don’t leave your phone visible in a vehicle when you
leave it. Take the phone with you or lock it in the
trunk or glove compartment of your car.

Safety
Personal
■ Operation of any radio equipment including mobile
3
3.1
phones, may interfere with the function of
inadequately shielded medical devices such as
hearing aids and pacemakers. You must consult the
manufacturer of these device or your physician,
before use
■ Do not switch on your mobile phone in hospitals
(unless areas where mobiles can be used are clearly
marked) as mobile phone can cause interference to
medical equipment.
■ Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment
in fuel depots, chemical plants, in areas where
explosive gases are present or where blasting
operations are in progress. Your mobile phone will
continue to transmit call responses if left in stand-by
mode. You must switch off when requested to do so
■ Do not move the antenna close to, or touching any
exposed part of the body when making a call, a
damaged antenna may cause a minor burn
Mobile Phone Use
■ Your mobile phone produces magnetic fields. Do not
place next to magnetic storage media such as
computer diskettes, credit cards.
■ Operating your mobile phone close to other electrical
equipment such as televisions, phones, radios and
personal computers, may cause interference
■ Do not expose your mobile phone to strong sunlight,
direct heat or liquids (such as water)
Battery Use
■ Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. This will
damage the battery, produce heat and may cause a
fire
■ Never dispose of batteries in a fire as it can cause
them to explode. Return dead batteries to your
supplier or an approved recycling centre. DO NOT
dispose along with household waste
W A R N I N G : If the battery case breaks, avoid contact
with the contents. Wash contaminated skin with lots
of water and seek medical attention.
On the Road
■ Before making or receiving calls acquaint yourself
thoroughly with the applicable local laws and
guidelines regarding the use of mobile radio
telephones and observe them at all times
■ Air safety bags, anti-lock brakes, speed control and
fuel injection systems are normally immune to radio
transmissions but if you experience problems,
consult your vehicle dealer.
■ Switch off your mobile phone when refueling or
where there are signs restricting the use of 2-way
radio equipment. Do not store or carry flammable or
explosive materials in the same compartment as
your mobile phone, internal sparks could cause
ignition.
Inside Aircraft
■ Switch off your mobile phone when in an aircraft.
The use of mobile phones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
cellular network and is illegal.

The Networks
Getting Started
Your phone can operate on two different cellular
systems(networks) and will automatically switch
4
between the two to provide you with the best service.
4.1
The Analog AMPS Network
■ This is the original cellular system for mobile phones
which provides excellent call quality in areas of good
coverage. However, at peak times and in high user
areas, the network can become ‘overloaded’ and
you may have to wait before you can get a ‘line’ to
make a call. Dropped calls can also be a problem in
hilly terrains and where there are a number of large
structures.
The Digital CDMA Network
■ CDMA is a new system that takes advantage of
digital technology to provide superior management
of the available radio spectrum. Unlike analog and
other digital systems, CDMA assigns a unique code
to each call then spreads it across a wide segment
of the cellular band, enabling a large numbers of
calls to be transmitted at the same time. You are
therefore more likely to make a successful call first
time, there is less interference and all your
conversations are encrypted to prevent
‘eavesdropping’ CDMA also offers advanced
features such as:
- text messaging
- digital paging
- Caller number identifications
- Low power transmission significantly increasing talk
and stand-by times
- soft hand-off
Read this section before attempting to use your
phone. It tells you how to attach, charge and care
for the phone’s battery. We have also included
information about the wake-up and stand-by screen
displays, how to turn the phone ON and OFF, and
what to do if you are having difficulty in connecting
to a network.

battery performance will be achieved after fully
charging and discharging the battery two or three
times.
Attaching and Removing the Battery
■ To remove battery, switch the phone OFF, press the
release catch in and slide battery downwards .
■ To fit place battery as shown and slide upwards
until the battery clicks into position.
Charging the Battery
■ Connecting the TRC(Traveler Charger) plug in to
charger jack of phone.
■ While the phone is under charging mode, the red
LED light on the TRC will be on.
■ Battery charging time takes approximately 1-3hours
depending on battery size and type .
Charge times as follows:
- Slim Li-Ion (MBL0600) : 1 hour.
- Standard NiMH (MBN0600) : 1 hour.
- Standard Li-Ion (MBL0930) : 2 hours.
- Extended Li-Ion (MBL1450) : 3 hours.

Network Connection
The MX-1111 Phone is initially programmed to search
5
for the digital CDMA network each time it is switched
ON. If you are in an area of poor CDMA coverage, it
5.7
will automatically search for the analog AMPS network
to enable you to continue to making and receive calls.
While the phone is connected to the AMPS network,
the phone periodically searches for CDMA coverage
and will switch networks as soon as there is sufficient
CDMA signal strength.
In areas of known good coverage, you can lock the
phone to either network(CDMA or AMPS), overriding
the automatic feature, although this is not
recommended.
