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
frequencies; one supports 1.9 GHz frequencies. Figure 1 illustrates how
the FWT is integrated into the CDMA cellular system architecture.

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.

Fixed Wireless Terminal Description– continued
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.
1
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.
The FWT offers the following features:
Call progress tones, such as Dial Tone and Busy Tone
DTMF and pulse dial capability
Two–way DTMF send and receive capability

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.

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.

The installation procedure consists of the following steps:
Identifying potential sources of interference
Assessing the subscriber site
Testing the location for signal strength
Identifying and acquiring the required system components
Installing the system
Testing prior to departing site
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.

Assessing the Fixed Wireless Terminal Site– continued
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)
Location must be within 1.8 m (6 feet) of power outlet

TNC connector on the rear panel (see Figure 10 ).
4Plug the telephone cord into the RJ–11 socket on the back of the FWT. (Shown in
Figure 10). Plug the 12 VDC connector into the DC power connector on the FWT.
5Position the FWT on a table or desk where signal strength is optimum. Plug the wall
cube into the AC power outlet. Use an extension cord to reach an AC power outlet if
necessary.
6Check for the correct power and service LED indications (see Table 3 on page 2-7).
NOTE
With the FWT assembled and powered up, perform the Signal Strength Test described
on page 2-7 to confirm proper operation.
The FWT antenna should NOT be installed where it would be within a few inches of a
location where people normally stand, sit, or rest.

NOTE
Before finalizing the precise location of the FWT, after the unit is
assembled, power up the unit and perform the Signal Strength Test
described on page 2-6.
The FWT antenna should NOT be installed where it would be within a
few inches of a location where people normally stand, sit, or rest.
Screws and anchors are recommended for most wall surfaces. For
wooden wall installations, only the screws are required.

1(See Figure 6) Identify a wall location where signal strength is optimum.
Use an extension cord to reach an AC power outlet if necessary.
2Mark two mounting hole locations on the wall. The center line must be
148 mm (5–13/16”) apart and must be on a level plane.
3If not using anchors, drill two 3 mm (1/8”) holes in the wood.
Continue with Step 4.
If using anchors, drill two 7 mm (9/32”) holes at the marked location.
Insert the anchors into the holes and tap the anchor heads flush against
the wall.
4Install the mounting screws but do not screw in all the way. Leave 3 mm
(1/8”) space between the screw head and the wall (See Figure 11).
5If included, install the backup battery in the battery compartment
accessed by removing the battery access door from the FWT. Reinstall
the battery access door (see page 2-11).
6Locate the two adhesive–backed rubber mounting pads from the
hardware packet. Remove the backing and seat the pads in the two round
feet on the base of the FWT. Press firmly to ensure the pads adhere to
the surface.
7Plug in the RJ–11 connector and the wall cube connector and route the
cords in a manner similar to that shown in Figure 11. Slip the cords into
the cord retainer grooves.

8Screw the antenna (or the cable’s antenna connector for optional external
mount antenna) into the TNC connector on the rear panel (see Figure 11).
9Install the FWT onto the screws so that the unit is firmly seated.

Fixed Wireless Terminal Description and Installation
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.
IN THIS CONFIGURATION, THE FRONT OF THE
HOUSE (A) IS MORE DIRECTIONALLY EXPOSED
TO THE SIGNAL. HOWEVER, SIGNALS
REFLECTED OFF NEARBY STRUCTURES MAY
IN FACT PRODUCE A PREFERRED SIGNAL ON
ANOTHER WALL, ESPECIALLY IF THE RF
SIGNAL’S LINE– OF–SIGHT IS OTHERWISE
OBSTRUCTED. EXPERIMENT WITH THE
ANTENNA TO LOCATE THE STRONGER SIGNAL.
IN THIS CONFIGURATION,
EITHER THE FRONT OF THE
HOUSE (A) OR SIDE (B) MAY BE
ADEQUATELY EXPOSED TO THE
SIGNAL. EXPERIMENT WITH
THE ANTENNA TO FIND THE
STRONGER SIGNAL.

1Connect the cable to the FWT and route the cable to the planned outdoor
location. Do not drill the hole through the outside wall at this time, rather
route the cable through an open window, if possible.
2Two people may be required to locate the preferred signal strength; one to
experiment with the antenna outside; the other to monitor the signal strength
on the FWT indoors.
3Connect the cable to the antenna. Refer to the signal strength testing
procedure on page 2-7 and, by moving the antenna around instead of the
FWT, monitor the LED to determine the preferred mounting location.

4After the mounting location is determined, disconnect the antenna cable and
install the antenna mounting per instructions provided with the antenna.
Screws and mounting bracket are provided with the antenna.
WARNING
Before drilling holes through the wall, be sure to determine beforehand the
exact locations of electrical wiring, water pipes, etc. and avoid drilling any
holes which might damage wiring or pipes.
5The external antenna must be grounded. Figure 13 is a diagram of a typical
grounded external antenna. Additional coax cable, ground lug, grounding
conductor, and grounding clamp are required to ground the antenna. Check
local regulations for specific antenna grounding requirements.
6Drill a hole through the outside wall and route the cable from the indoor FWT
to the outdoor antenna. Attach the coax cable to the connector on the antenna.
Use appropriate fasteners to secure the cable to the external wall.
