INSTALLATION

Antenna Location and Setup

The Phonecell

®

SX4P comes with a standard spike antenna (TNC) - see Figure 1.

1) For optimal signal strength, choose an antenna location that is above ground and as close to
windows (or exterior walls) as possible - see Figure 2. Cellular signal strength is displayed in
either direct readout mode or bar graph mode. Direct readout mode displays signal strength
in a range of -100 dBm (no signal) to -49 dBm (strongest signal). Bar graph mode displays
signal strength as a series of solid block characters. The stronger the signal, the more char­acters are displayed - see Figure 10.

2) Finger-tighten the antenna; do not over tighten.

Emergency Battery Backup

To Install Batteries:

1) Remove the battery access door screw located on the bottom of the unit - see Figure 3.

2) Press the battery access door tab and remove the battery access door - see Figure 3.

3) Install the batteries (not included) - see Figure 4.

4) Reinstall the battery access door using the screw.

5) Turn the AC/Battery switch to battery operation - see Figure 5.

IMPORTANT: When the battery operation is selected, the SX4P will operate for approximately 10
minutes of call time with fresh batteries. The SX4P does not support rechargeable AAA batteries.

Figure 2 – For optimal call clarity, the antenna
should be pointed up and the SX4P located close to
an exterior wall or window.

Connect the Phonecell SX4P to AC Power

1) Turn the AC/Battery Switch to the AC position - see Figure 5.

2) Connect the barrel connector of the power supply to the rear panel receptacle of the

SX4P - see Figure 5.

3) Plug the power supply into the AC socket. The unit will power up automatically.

4) Check the cellular signal strength and move the unit until you achieve the best signal

possible - see the Received Signal Strength section of this manual.

Optional Wall-Mount Instructions

1) Remove the mounting clip from the cradle and re-insert it with the tab pointing up - see

Figures 6 and 7.

2) Mark two hole locations 83 mm (3-1/4 inches) vertically apart and drill two holes into the wall.

3) Install the screws (not supplied) into the wall, leaving a gap (approximately 3 mm (1/8 inches))

between the screw head and the wall.

4) Align the mounting holes with the screws and mount the SX4P onto the screws - see

Figures 8 and 9.
