1. Charging of the battery
Insert the DC cable's plug (3,5 mm) to the connector on the side of the device. The
progress of charging is displayed by the brightness of the YELLOW light. If the
battery is depleted, pre-charging takes place. The stages of pre-charging are shown
with YELLOW flashes. During charging, a continuous bright YELLOW indicates an
empty battery and strong charging. A dim YELLOW indicates a relatively full battery
and late stages of charging. When the battery is full, the device gives an audible
signal and switches the YELLOW light off.
The charging of an empty battery to full takes approximately two hours. Charging of
the battery can be made in any operating mode but there are no charging indications
during start-up or programming mode.
Over-charging of the battery is prevented. The charger can be continuously
connected.
In continuous use the battery charging is recommended after 3 days in use.
If the device has switched off due to low battery, it is recommended to first charge
the battery at least a few minutes before switching it on again.
2. Warning message due to low battery
If the battery charge falls below 20%, the device gives five YELLOW flashes and
audible signal. This will be repeated once in every minute until the charger is
connected. After 15 minutes of battery warnings the device sends a "BATTERY
20%" message.
If the "BATTERY 20%" message has been sent, the device sends “CHARGING”
message when the charger is connected to the device.
These messages will be sent by default to the first stored number. This option can
be deactivated or the messages directed to a different number (see Options).
Upon a detected depletion of the battery the device gives five short tones, blinks
RED and YELLOW lights and shuts down.
3. Start-up
In order to switch the device ON, press the button for 5 seconds. Release the button
as soon as the YELLOW starts blinking. Wait until the GREEN light starts to blink.
The device is now ready for use and registered in to the mobile network.
If the necessary telephone numbers have not been programmed before, the device
enters automatically to the programming mode.
If you wish to change the existing settings start up the device as explained
above, but press the button shortly during the start-up while the GREEN light
is on for 5 seconds. The device enters the programming mode.

4. The programming mode
The settings for the CC3 are programmed with text messages in the programming
mode. This mode is indicated by alternating blinks of GREEN and YELLOW lights.
There are a few different ways to get the device to the programming mode. Which of
these are to be used depends on the settings of the device. The available
possibilities are explained below in chapters 4A – 4C.
4A. DEVICE WITH DEFAULT SETTINGS
Wait during start-up until the GREEN light is on for 5 seconds. Press the button
once during this period. The device enters the programming mode.
4B. A DEVICE WITH POWER-OFF PREVENTION
A device with inhibited power-OFF can be commanded to the programming mode
with a PRG-command from a number stored in the device (see 4C) or by switching it
OFF via LIMITED mode and then restarting the device. If the device is in standby
mode, it enters the LIMITED mode after removing the SIM as in Fig. 1. Remove the
SIM and wait until the device indicates a SIM-error. Return the SIM to the device.
Wait during the start-up until the GREEN light goes on for 5 seconds. Press the
button once during this period. The device enters the programming mode. Note: If
you miss the time window during the automatic re-start you can also switch the
device OFF in LIMTED mode and start it normally.
4C DEVICE WITH INHIBITED MANUAL ENTRY TO PROGRAMMING MODE
Programming mode is possible only if the device receives a command <<<PRG>>>
as a text message from a number that is stored in the device.
EXECUTION OF A PROGRAMMING COMMAND
If a programming command is accepted and executed, the device gives an audible
signal and the YELLOW light blinks once notably longer. The programming mode
continues.
If a programming command is rejected, the device gives three audible signals and
the RED light blinks. The programming mode continues. A rejected command is not
executed in full, i.e. part of it may have been executed.
VERIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF PROGRAMMING
Pressing the button longer than 5 seconds causes the device to send the stored
settings as a text message to the first number if it is given.
Programming mode is terminated with a short press of the button. The device shuts
off.
5. The purpose and setting of the telephone numbers
Number1, Number2 and Number3: After a single press of the button, CC3 tries to
make a voice call to these numbers. The length and the number of attempts to
make the voice call can be defined with the parameters of the calling engine.
X-number and U-number: CC3 has option to set a 4th X-number and a 5th Unumber. The X-umber (eXtra number) can be used as an emergency number for
situations when the numbers 1 to 3 can not be reached. In CC3, the X number is for
voice calls. The U-number (Unlocking number) is only for the management
© Soneco Oy.
Staus: Contents schecked Author: JR
V 23.7.2013
™ 8(20)
purposes. The U number can call or control the device but it can not be an alarm
call or a message number.
Telephone numbers are set in the programming mode with sending them as single
text message. The message has to contain between command brackets "<<<" and
">>>" all numbers to be stored, separated by semicolon and without spaces as
below.
<<<number1;number2...>>>.
<<<+358414319220;+358414319221;+358414319221>>>
or <<<+358414319221>>>
If the X-number is in use, it has to be given before the numbers 1 to 3.
<<<Xnumber4;number1;...>>> ,
<<< Xnumber4;number1;number2>>> or
<<< Xnumber4;number1;number2;number3>>> .
If the U-number is used, it shall be given after X-number and before numbers 1-3:
<<<Unumber4;number1;...>>> or
<<<Xnumber5; Unumber4;number1;...>>>
Any number command replaces all previously stored numbers. A command
<<<EN>>> erases all numbers (Erase Numbers). If <<<EN>>> is rejected, the
command is <<<CLRN>>>.
6. Setting the alarm message
Unless the alarm message has been set by the user, the message is ”SOS
ALARM”.
The message is set in programming mode with a message to the device. The
message has to contain between command brackets “<<<” and “>>>” a command
"sms:" and the message with a maximum length of 150 characters as below
<<<sms:Own_message>>>

7. Basic settings
The basic settings define how the device makes the calls and sends the messages
when the button is pushed. The basic settings have been set according to
customers’ wishes by Soneco during the manufacturing. These basic settings can
be altered with the programming command
<<<CCxabc>>>
The character x with value 1, 2 or 3 defines how many telephone numbers can be
included in the list of numbers to be called. The characters a, b and c have a value
1 or 0 and they define whether a message is to be sent (value = 1) to the
corresponding numbers or not (value = 0). The character “a” defines if the message
is to be sent to number 1, “b” means the same for number 2 and “c” for number 3.
E.g. a command “<<<CC1110>>>” defines CC3 to call only number 1 and to send
message to numbers 1 and 2.
8. Options
The device offers several options. The options are set or altered in programming
mode with commands indicating the option with a capital letter followed by "1" to
activate the option or "0" to deactivate it. All default values are "0".
The device has the following options:
8.1. Options for power ON and OFF
P1/P0 Disable power-OFF by the user. The device does not switch off from standby
mode with a 5 seconds press. Presses up to 9 seconds are interpreted as short
presses.
F1/F0 Forced power-ON. The device turns itself ON automatically if the battery
voltage is high enough or becomes high enough during the charging.
Wxxxxx Selection of the battery warning message recipients. All x-values have to
be given as “1” or “0”. With a value “1” battery warning is sent to corresponding
number and with value “0” it is not sent. The first x value is for the first number, the
second x for the second number etc. The 4th x is the X-number and the 5th x is the
U-number (See chapter 5). All five x-values have to be given regardless of the
amount of telephone numbers set to the device. No warning will be sent with the
command W00000. The default setting is to send the battery warning to the 1st
number, corresponding to command W10000. Battery warnings will be sent only if
corresponding numbers are given. E.g. W00100 causes the message to be sent to
the 3rd number if given.
S1/S0 Skip entry to programming mode: The 5 second time window during the
start-up for user to enter the programming mode is skipped. Programming mode is
possible only via a SMS command “<<<PRG>>>” form a number stored in the
device. See also Chapter 17.

™ 10(20)
8.2. Options for voice calls
T1/T0 Reject incoming calls. In the standby mode all incoming calls are rejected
unless coming from a number stored in the device.
C1/C0 Automatic answering of incoming calls. The device opens an acceptable call
after three rings.
B1/B0 Button sensitivity. Presses shorter than one second will be ignored.
E1/E0 Call to the emergency number 112. Command E1 allows a 112 call in
standby mode. If the button has been pressed for longer than 10 seconds, 112 call
processing will start. The setting E0 (default) prevents 112 calls in the standby
mode. In the LIMITED mode the emergency 112 calls are always possible.
V1/V2/V3/V4 Setting for earpiece audio volume. V1 is suitable for silent
environment when holding the phone on the ear. V2 is louder and suitable for
environments with background noise. V3 allows some speaker-phone function in
silent environment. V4 is the maximum setting with which the phone should not be
pressed directly to the ear.
Gx (x = 1 - 7) Sensitivity of the microphone. The setting G7 (default) is the most
sensitive and causes the full audio level to the receiver also from a weak voice and /
or from a noticeable distance (say 1 m) from the device. With a setting G1-G2 full
audio volume will be reached only when speaking directly to the microphone from a
short distance or nearly in contact with the microphone. The G-setting does not
affect the audio level of the voice call but only the conditions where the full level is
reached. With G7, distortion may occur when speaking loud directly to the
microphone.
Ix (x = 0 - 7) Ringing tone volume. The setting I0 means a silent call and I7 (default)
the largest ringing volume. The ringing tone comes from the loud-speaker of the
phone that is used also as the earpiece.
OxHy (x = 0 - 9, y = 1 - 9) Settings of the dialing procedure. Here x is a number
from 0 to 9 that defines the amount of full dialing sequences. With x=0 the
sequential dialing procedure is not in use. The value y is the duration of each dialing
effort in multiples of 5 seconds. Y must be from 1 to 9. As an example,
<<<O3H4>>> sets the dialing sequence to be passed three times and to last 20
seconds each number.
Dxxxxx Dialing indications. The five (5) x-values define tone elements during call
processing. For each tone, 1 = ON, 0 = OFF. x1 is the button tone from the buzzer
upon initiation of the call. x2 is the dialing tone from the device which continues until
the ringing tone from the network starts. This tone is generated by SONECO device
itself and comes from the earpiece. x3 is the stepping tone of calling machine. It is
buzzer beep which is heard each time the calling machine starts to call the next
number. x4 is the ringing tone from the network as audio signal to earpiece . x5 is a
buzzer beep when the called party picks up, i.e. goes to off-hook and the audio line
to called party is open. For text messages, only x1 is relevant. The default setting
for CC3 is that all tones 1 to 4 are ON. In elder devices this setting is fixed and tone
5 does not exist.
“<<<D00001>>>” causes CC3 to give buzzer signal only after the called party has
responded to the call and audio line is open. All other indication tones are OFF.

8.3. Security and general settings
PIN:12345678 PIN-checking. This command sets PIN-checking on and the value
for the PIN-code given. If the PIN has been set, the device responds to the first PIN
query with the given PIN code. The SIM card has to be set for the PIN with using
e.g. a normal mobile phone. If the PIN code is wrong or the SIM card has
experienced earlier PIN errors, a SIM error will be indicated. It is possible to
continue using the device with a SIM without PIN checking. Re-programming the
PIN is possible but there is no need to erase it.
N0/N1/N2 Controls for the calling line indication. With N0 the device sends its own
number as defined by the network. With N1 the device instructs the network not to
send the calling line number and. With N2 the device asks the network to send the
calling line number.
Rxxxxxyyy: Voice call settings in alarm mode. Values y1-y3 apply to CC3 and
values x1-x5 apply to alarm mode call from MC3. For CC3, the following instructions
apply if there is no answer from the called numbers:
y1 = 1 causes a text message to be sent to the X-number (see chapter 5) if there is
no reply from numbers 1 to 3.
y2 = 1 causes a call to X-number if there is no reply from the numbers 1 to 3.
y3 = 1 causes the user's option to select the called number to be skipped in the
calling engine. Note that with y3 = 0 the user can select the number to be called (if
more then one stored) See chapter 10.1 for selecting the number. The cyclic
operation of the calling machine can be skipped with O = 0 which defines the
amount of cycles as zero.
M0/M1/M2 The timing of the text message in the calling sequence. With M0 the
device sends the message upon the pressing of the button. With M1 the device
sends the message if the user has not selected a number to be called or this
selection for the calls is not in use. With M2 the device sends the message only if
there is no reply for the calls, i.e. the calling engine stops the operation or calls the
X-number. No message is sent if the parameter y1 does not indicate this operation
or the basic setting does not include the sending of a text message.
SPIN:Ab1& Security code for management commands in standby mode. If the
code is set, access from the Service number requires each time a correct SPIN.
SPIN comprises of four (4) characters which can be upper or lower case letters,
numbers or other characters of basic ASCII. The associated commands are the
inquiries for battery status, log data and network parameters and the command to
programming mode.
SPIN: Deactivation of SPIN, i.e. with the command "<<<SPIN:>>>". Note that
management commands are possible from stored telephone numbers and
Soneco's own nonpublic telephone number. Note also that the management
commands and the use require additionally, the telephone number of the device to
be known.
The options can be programmed one by one (e.g. <<<P1>>>) or combined in to a
single command e.g., to the following example command

™ 12(20)
<<<S1F1P1W01100>>>
which sets the device to skip the manual entry to programming mode, forced powerON, prevents power-OFF in ready state and directs battery messages to numbers 2
and 3. Commands containing character data i.e. commands PIN, DIMSG, SPIN and
SMS, have to be send all individually,
9. Standby mode
The device enters the standby mode after start-up if the phone numbers are
available. The standby mode is indicated by GREEN blink every 2 seconds. The
device is ready for making calls and sending messages upon the pressing of the
button.
If the network connection is lost more than very temporarily, the device gives an
audible signal and starts to blink RED. If the network connection can be restored,
the GREEN blinks return as an indication of the standby mode. The reasons for
network losses should be clarified with the network operator and, if available, with
the alarm service.
10. Making a call, sending a message, receiving a call and
responding to a calling effort
10.1. Starting of the calls and sending of the messages
Making a call will be triggered by a short press of the button. The calling engine
goes through three following three stages:
Stage 1: The user has the possibility of selecting a number of the numbers 1 to 3,
as the number to be called. The device waits for a press for 5 seconds for each
number. A press during the GREEN light blinking selects number 1. A press during
the YELLOW light blinking selects number 2 and a press during the RED light
blinking selects number 3,
Stage 2: The device makes calling efforts in a sequence to numbers 1, 2 and 3. It
can be set for how long each number is ringing and how many times the calling
cycle will be repeated.
Stage 3: If none of the numbers 1 - 3 has responded, a call (or message) is made
to X-number as has been set by the appropriate parameters.
The execution of calling effort to several numbers may take a lengthy time. It may
be useful to make the user familiar with these times and to set the indications (Dsettings) to show the the different stages.
If the calling of telephone numbers becomes delayed or interrupted for the network
reasons, the YELLOW blinks rapidly during the delay. The efforts to call continue
after the delay. If the delay does not disappear, the device gives three audible
signals and RED blinks. If the reason for failed transmission is lost network
connection, the device enters LIMITED state. Wait until the device returns to
standby mode and re-start the calling by pressing the button.
© Soneco Oy.
Staus: Contents schecked Author: JR
V 23.7.2013
™ 13(20)
A failure to make a call should be very rare and should not occur without a reason,
such as over-load in the network, operation in the boundary areas of network
coverage, or weak radio signal inside a massive building, or a defective device.
10.2. Receiving and terminating of the calls
The device indicates an incoming call with a melodic ringing tone at the volume set
by the user, and with alternating blinking of all lights. Ringing tone may be switched
off so that only light indication appears.
An incoming call is responded with a short press of the button. A long press rejects
the call.
If automatic answering has been activated, the call is answered after the third
ringing tone.
The device may have been set to reject other calls than calls from stored numbers.
Such cases are not indicated at all.
A call is terminated with a short press of the button. If the other party terminates the
call first, the connection with the device is terminated also automatically.
10.3. Receiving and terminating of the calling efforts
When the calling engine is making efforts to set up a call, the device directs the call
to such a stored number that first sends any message to the device, and terminates
the further operation of the calling engine.
The user can terminate the calling efforts with a short press of the button.
10.4. Adjusting the features of the voice call
Prior to a call in standby mode or alarm mode, the audio volume in earpiece can be
adjusted with a V-command, the sensitivity of the microphone adjusted with Gcommand and the level of the ringing tone with I-command with the exception that a
silent call in alarm mode remains silent. As an example, the command
"<<<V2G6I5>>>" set earpiece volume level 2, the microphone sensitivity to level 6
and the ringing volume level 5. The adjustments made in standby mode apply for
the next call after which the programmed settings apply.
In most versions the sound level of the earpiece can be adjusted also during the call
by sending the V-command during the call.
11. Special features during alarm mode
CC3 is in alarm mode only when it is trying to make a call.
During this mode the call can be directed to the stored number that sends a
message to the device. This mode can be terminated with a press of the button
after which the device returns to the standby mode.

12. Shutting the device off
When allowed, the user can switch off the device with pressing the button for over 5
seconds, until alls lights switch on, and releasing it before 10 seconds. The device
gives an audible signal and shuts down the lights one by one. Shut-off is completed
when all lights flash once.
If shutting the power-off has been inhibited, the device can be shut off via LIMITED
mode. Remove the SIM as seen in Fig. 1 and wait until the device tries a new startup, indicates a SIM error and enters the LIMITED mode wit continuously blinking
RED. Press the button as above, i.e. for 5 seconds. The device shuts off.
13. Request for battery charge status
The device reports the battery status in standby mode as a reply to the message
<<<battery>>>. The message has to be sent from a number that is stored in the
device. The device responds to the same number with a message containing
estimated remaining battery capacity in %, battery voltage in mV and the
information about whether a charger is connected and a call ongoing.
14. Voice call features in alarm state
This applies only to MC3. If CC3 is re-programmed in to MC3, please refer to User's
Guide for MC3.
15. Emergency call 112
The MC3 device can be set to allow emergency 112 calls in standby mode.
If emergency calls in standby mode are not in use, the device will shut off after
pressing the button for 5 seconds or if shutting-off is not allowed, the device sends
an alarm.
If emergency calls are enabled, pressing the button continuously for 10 seconds
causes that all lights go on at 5 seconds and an audible signal at 10 seconds.
Releasing the button at this point would shut the device off if allowed, or send the
alarm message if shut-off is blocked. With continuing the pressing beyond this point
the device gives two short audible signals and flashes all lights three times.
Continuing to press also beyond this point will trigger an emergency call. This is
indicated by the RED light. Accordingly, releasing the button at this stage will return
the device to standby mode.
A triggered emergency call can be terminated with pressing the button again.
In the LIMITED mode a long press beyond 10 seconds will always trigger the
emergency call as above.
A simplified, easy to remember emergency call instruction: press the button until the
RED light is continuously on. Pressing the button after this or releasing it has no
effect. Pressing the button again will terminate the emergency call.

16. Remote controlled voice call "CALL" and termination of a call
"END CALL" and queuing of a call
With proper settings, the telephone numbers stored in CC3 can command the
device to make calls and to terminate ongoing calls.
A call to the number-x is triggered with a command <<<CALL:number-x>>> if the
dialing indications x2 and x4 are active. Accordingly, the device gives a clear sound
indication from such a commanded call. If the dialing indications are not in use,
CALL-command will be rejected i.e. making commanded silent calls is not possible.
A CALL-command arriving during an ongoing call will be rejected. An ongoing call
can, however, be terminated remotely by sending <<<END CALL>>> command from
a number stored in the device. After this the CALL-command is available. This
makes it possible to make a call to or from the device in emergency situations, even
if the line has left open.
If the SIM-settings allow for a queuing call, a queuing call will be indicated with the
audible signal from the earpiece. Pressing the button during a queuing call will
immediately terminate the ongoing call and trigger the ringing tone for the queuing
call. Queuing is a service setting of the subscription.
17. The life-time, capacity and maintenance of the battery
The re-chargeable Lithium battery of the device has a typical life time of 400
charge/discharge cycles, or 2 - 5 years in use. Along with the use, the stand-by time
with one charge decreases. On the same, the likelihood increases for the device
shutting down due to low battery capacity or at low temperatures.
The battery capacity is relatively insensitive to the depth of charging cycles, i.e. the
battery can be charged frequently and only partly discharged or less frequently in a
more discharged state.
The device monitors also the accumulated charge flow from the battery to the device
and compares that to estimated battery charge. The software in the device can
make a better estimate of the battery capacity if the battery is allowed to discharge
down to 20% level at least a few times.
It is recommended to change the battery in ca. 3 year intervals or when the stand-by
time with a fully charged battery falls below 3 days.
Changing the battery has to be done by an authorized service.
18. The use in challenging environments
The capacity and the current capability of Lithium batteries degrade strongly at low
temperatures (e.g. below 0 °C). In outdoor use it is recommended to carry the
device so that it remains at body temperature, e.g. in a warm pocket. If the device
has shut itself down at low temperature, it may still operate properly, at least for
some time, at higher temperature. Body temperature is ideal.
In real GSM-networks the connection may be lost from time to time or calls or
messages can fail. In such circumstances messaging and calls may still be possible
when going out from inside the buildings, avoiding any shadowing of the earpiece

end of the phone (e.g. by the hand) or with rising to a higher elevation within the
building or in the landscape.
Charging the battery is possible only at temperatures between 0 and 45 °C.
19. Data security, privacy, reliability and prevention of abuse.
The user of the device, the service provider and other numbers stored in the device
have certain powers to use the device and the telecommunications account (i.e.
credit) that rely on the device and its SIM remaining in the intended hands and use.
Exceptional situations are to be considered.
The device does neither store nor forward information about calls or messages. The
device stores and may forward information about network events that affect the
quality of service upon a request by text message from stored numbers, It is not
possible to re-program the device and put it in to use as re-programmed without
interaction by the user.
An authorized user (i.e. the stored phone numbers) may request the device to send
network data which allows detecting the location of the device within a radio cell, i.e.
normally within or less than a few kilometers. The device stores the events of
network losses, switching the device on or off and device's internal errors. In the
service this data can be read with date and time stamps.
The real time clock of the device becomes synchronized with the network time at
every programming message. The clock will be reset to certain old date if the battery
protection circuitry switches the voltage supply off due to deep depletion.
If an entry to the programming mode by the user has been prevented and the users
have lost the information for sending and acceptable PRG-command, the GSM
phone number of Soneco's service can command the device in to programming
mode and read the technical information. This number can not control the calls or
the messages nor can it be used as a calling number. Upon request, this feature can
be erased at the delivery.
The device has been designed so that it could not be disturbed or made nonfunctional through the network and can not be accessed without authorization.
The abuse of the device or the telecommunications account can be prevented by
PIN and with setting appropriate service and/or service limitations.
20. Unrecognized fault situations
The device has been designed to operate in all known situations and to recover from
fault situation and indicate such to the user. In order to trace the fault situations, the
device maintains an event register (log book) about events relevant to service.
In the case of unrecognized errors, the device remains in error situation and shuts
itself down or goes to sudden shutdown. The cause for such may be
- wrong or faulty charging device
- wrongly set PIN code or prior effort with a wrong PIN
- SIM card contact error e.g. due to falling of the device, it being hit or poor insertion
of the SIM-card .
- empty battery or total loss of battery capacity
- entry of water, humidity or foreign objects inside the equipment case

- otherwise broken and non-functional device.
- uncontrolled removal of SIM or shut-down of equipment
Unrecognized errors should be very rare. The reason should always be cleared even
if the device may return later to normal operation.
