1.2 Safety
Guidelines for Safe Use of the CellFax Plus: Please read this information before connecting the CellFax. The instructions are intended for your safety. Please follow these guidelines.
Recommendations for safe use of the product:
• Do not expose the product to liquid or moisture
• Do not expose the product to open flames
• Do not attempt to modify the product
• Do not use the product near medical equipment without requesting permission from
your treating physician or authorised medical staff
• Do not use the product when in, or around aircraft, or areas showing the sign "turn off
two way radio".
• Do not use the product in an area where the potential explosive atmosphere exists.
Power Supply:
Connect the AC power supply adapter only to designated power sources.
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and Specific Absorbsion Rate (SAR)
The CellFax is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When turned on it emits low levels of radio frequency energy. Governments around the world have adopted international safety guidelines. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) have developed guidelines to establish the permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. For GSM terminal equipment an MPE calculation is used to determine the safe working distance from the Terminal during normal use. The values stated are determined at the highest certified power levels in laboratory conditions. Actual radiated levels during normal use may be well below this value. This is because the RF transmitter is designed to work at minimum power where ever possible.
TelecomFM CellFax Plus meets the legal requirements of ICNIRP encompassed within the following standards:
The CellFax Plus complies with European standards EN50383:2003, EN 50392:2002 and EN50385:2002 and with Council Recomendation 1999/519/EC relating to human exposure to RF energy. In accordance with these standards and in order to maintain safe levels of exposure to RF Energy. The CellFax and its antenna, during use, must be placed at a distance greater then 13.5 CM from the human body.

5. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How long do I wait until I am able to make a phone call or send a fax?
A: Once the Status indicator and GSM signal status LEDs are lit the device is ready to use.
Q: What will happen if I make a wrong connection to Telephone socket and PSTN socket?
A: Only plug in the correct apparatus into the sockets marked on the rear panel (see Installation Instructions on page 5). Failure to connect correct apparatus may cause permanent damage and invalidate your warranty.
Q: Why does the device always send the FAX as a voice outgoing call?
A: Some outdated FAX cannot send the identification tone, In this case the user must add the “*01*” command before the number to instruct the system that this call is a FAX call (such as *01*Number).
Q: Why does the device always make the voice outgoing call when user makes the data call? A: Some outdated Modem cannot send the CNG identification tone, so the user should add the
“*02*” before the number to prompt the system this call is Data call (Such as *02*Number).
Q: Is it possible to transmit fax via GSM with any SIM card?
A: Before using GSM fax functions the user must make sure that: For sending faxes, ensure the SIM card data transmission service is available (GSM network support is required) For receiving, ensure the SIM card receiving fax service is available. (GSM network support is required; usually this function needs dual numbers – one voice number and one fax number. For fax receiving, use only the fax number).
Q: What type of fax machine do I need to use?
A: CELLFAX PLUS is in line with G3 fax criteria. Any compatible G3 standard fax machine is OK.
Q: When I use GSM fax, is it possible to fax like a desktop fax machine, i.e. make a phone call before sending faxes?
A: This is not possible. CELLFAX PLUS does not support GSM voice/ fax switch over function. This function requires GSM/GPRS network supporting TS61 (allowing user to make phone calls while faxing). When sending faxes, press the Start key immediately after completing your number dialled; when receiving faxes, please set fax machine to Auto receive mode.
Q: When does the battery work?
A: The battery will operate when there is no mains power to the Cellfax Plus unit.
Q: How do I know when the battery is running low?
A: The battery LED will start to flash indicating it is low.
Q: How can I tell if a battery is fitted?
A: If the mains power is disconnected you will not see the battery LED lit and the Cellfax Plus unit will not operate. You can also check by opening the SIM cover that holds the battery.
