FWT Introduction
The Motorola
Fixed Wireless Terminal (FWT) communications device is
used for connecting into the local telephone network; it is an RF
transceiver which allows a standard telephone set to be used to access
the CDMA (IS–95–A or J–STD–008) cellular air interface. The desktop
or wall–mounted indoor unit is designed for use in areas where wired
service is not available or where wireless service is otherwise preferred.
The FWT is available in two models – one supports 800 MHz

The FWT provides a link to the local telephone exchange. Subscribers
receive the same set of features typically offered by the local telephone
service provider to ‘wired’ customers.
Via the FWT’s single RJ–11 telephone jack, up to three parallel
electromechanical ringer style telephones, or five electronic ringer
telephones may be connected at a distance of 100 meters from the unit.
However, during a conversation with another party, no more than two of
the phones at a FWT site can be off–hook at a time. Using more than 2
telephones will not damage the FWT but may result in decreased, or
non–performance of one or more telephones connected to the FWT.

A detachable omni–directional antenna is mounted to the rear of the
FWT housing. In fringe coverage areas, an outdoor omni–directional
antenna or a directional gain antenna may be substituted. If the antenna
is mounted outdoors, precautions must be taken to adequately protect
against lightning.
Power to operate the FWT is provided via a wall transformer to the 12
volt DC socket. Alternative power, such as external battery, solar
powered sources, etc. feeds into an auxiliary power input socket. An
optional internal battery provides operational backup in the event of
primary power loss. This battery may be replaced without accessing the
internal circuit board.
Brackets are available for remote antenna installations and for optional
security mounting.
Capabilities
The FWT provides a subscriber loop interface and translates subscriber
loop interface functions into CDMA air interface functions.
The FWT provides standard electrical voltages and currents to support a
POTS line. The FWT will generate call–progress indications to the
subscriber’s telephone set. The FWT also passes call–progress tones
from the PSTN in the audio band. Call signaling (such as DTMF
dialing) is typically encoded as CDMA air interface messages.

FWT features
The FWT supports hand–off to allow the system to “breathe,” thus
providing extra capacity in high traffic areas at the necessary times.
NOTE
Hand–off may or may not be supported by the provider’s
system.
Voice quality is based on one of three (system–operator selected)
vocoder algorithms – 8 Kbps, 13 Kbps, or the Enhanced Variable Rate
Coder (EVRC). Security of the voice is inherent in the CDMA air
protocol.
The FWT supports operator programming to create tiered personalities
which define the features supported. The personality may be
downloaded either locally or remotely to allow changes to the subscribed
service profile.
The FWT initially supports local download of operational software using
the FWT Programmer software and a personal computer.

Safety and General Information
For the safe and efficient
operation of your FWT,
observe these guidelines
Your FWT contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The 1.9 GHz
model operates in the frequency range of 1850 MHz to 1990 MHz; the
800 MHz model operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 894
MHz. Both models employ digital modulation techniques. When you
use your FWT, the system which handles your call controls the power
level at which your FWT transmits. The power level may typically vary
over a range from 0.00001 watts to 0.5 watts.
IMPORTANT
THIS INFORMATION RELATES TO SAFE AND
EFFICIENT PRODUCT OPERATIONS. READ THIS

Exposure to Radio Frequency
Energy
2
Efficient FWT Operation
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96–326 adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. In
addition, the International Commission on Non–Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNRP) has established standards containing RF exposure
guidelines. To ensure efficient antenna operation and to stay within
these exposure guidelines established by the FCC, do not stand or sit
closer than one inch from the antenna while your FWT is in use.
The following practice will enable your FWT to operate at the lowest
power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality.
Do not operate your Fixed Wireless Terminal while holding the
antenna, or while any person is within 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of the
antenna.
A person or object within 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of the antenna
could impair call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than necessary.
Antenna Considerations
Interference to Medical and
Personal Electronic Devices
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. An unauthorized antenna,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the
FWT, or result in violation of regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission.
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF
energy from the FWT transmitter may affect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment.
Consult the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal electronic
device(s) (for example a pacemaker or hearing aid) to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information regarding medical
devices.
Do not install a FWT in a health care facility if regulations posted in the
area restrict the use of cellular phones. Hospitals and health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Safety and General Information – continued
CAUTION
WARNING
Batteries
2
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed
terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit)
and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with
metal objects.
Children
Do not allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a
transmitter. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking
themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children
could also damage the FWT.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
DO NOT operate your FWT near blasting caps, or in a blasting area, to
avoid the possibility of triggering an explosion.
Areas marked with potentially explosive atmospheres 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.
4/98
Do not operate a FWT near electrical blasting caps. Under certain
conditions, FWTs can interfere with blasting operations.
Do not operate a FWT transmitter in a hazardous atmosphere. An
explosion or fire may result.
Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing batteries or removing batteries and
cause an explosion.

Interference considerations
IMPORTANT
*
The FWT is a two–way radio and as such, some occasional interference
is unavoidable. For best results, choose an electrical outlet away from
obstructions. The outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Do
not place the FWT near items which may increase static, such as:
The electronic circuitry of some telephones may be
insufficiently shielded to operate properly with the FWT.
When making or receiving a phone call, if you hear a
“humming” sound or noise in the earpiece of the telephone
connected to the FWT, or if the other party hears the hum
or noise, move the telephone away from the FWT. If
moving it farther away has no effect, try using a different
telephone.

Also, for the general location of the FWT, consider the following;
The FWT must be installed indoors
WARNING
The telephone interface is not designed for outdoor
application; it provides secondary protection only. The
RJ–11 cable must not be run to an outdoor telephone; this
minimizes equipment exposure to coupled and direct
lightning surges.
Basement installation is NOT recommended
Installation near large metal objects is NOT recommended
Installation in attic is NOT recommended if attic temperatures exceed
the specified Operating Temperature range
Installation in higher locations is preferred; near windows and outer
walls is preferred (see Figure 3)

Introduction
WARNING
Check local codes for external grounding requirements.
Do not install the antenna above the rooftop.
When an external antenna is required, first determine the general
direction of the cell site with which the FWT will communicate. This
will define which exterior wall is better exposed to the RF signals.
Figure 12 illustrates typical planning considerations concerning the
relationship between the cell site and external antenna.
