Setup

RUIM Card Installation (RUIM Model Only)

Consult your service provider to determine if your unit requires the use of a RUIM (Removable User
Identity Module) card. If it is a RUIM model, your SX5Twill only be able to make emergency calls until
you install a RUIM card. It will not receive calls or allow non-emergency outgoing calls without the
RUIM card installed.

1. Remove the power supply if it has already been connected. (The power supply must be

removed whenever a RUIM Card is removed or installed.) If your unit has emergency batteries
installed, make sure the AC/Batter Switch is in the AC Power position (see “Battery Operation”
on page 3).

2. Remove the RUIM compartment cover - see Figure 1.

3. Open the RUIM compartment holder .

4. Line up the RUIM card with the arrow on the RUIM card holder - see Figure 2.

5. Gently insert the RUIM card in the slot of the RUIM card holder.

6. Close the RUIM card holder.

7. Reattach the RUIM compartment cover , closing it with the separate cover screw provided.

(BBU; part #74006803). If your unit uses a Power Supply , please follow the instructions
below to connect the SX5Tto your AC power . If it uses a BBU, please see “Connecting an SX5T
Model With a BBU” on page 4.

T o connect an SX5T model with a Power Supply:

1. Connect the barrel connector of the power supply to the AC power input recept acle of the SX5T

- see Figure 3.

2. Plug the AC power cord into the power supply .

3. Plug the AC power cord into the AC Power outlet.

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

possible - see LED Status Indicatorson page 8for more information.

Phonecell®SX5TCDMA2000 3 User Manual

Emergency Batteries

If your SX5Thas a Power Supply, you may install emergency batteries to power the device in the
event of a power outage.

Do not install emergency batteries if your SX5T has a BBU.The SX5T

will not automatically switch to battery if AC power fails; you must flip the AC/Battery switch to battery
operation - see Figure 5.

T o install emergency batteries:

1. Remove the battery access door screw located on the bottom of the unit - see Figure 4.

2. Press the battery access door tabs and remove the battery access door .

3. Install 4 “AA” alkaline batteries (not supplied) - see Figure 4.

4. Reinstall the battery access door using the screw .

Battery Operation

SX5Tmodels with Power Supplies will not automatically switch from AC to battery upon loss of AC
power. The AC/Battery switch must be changed manually - see Figure 5. Battery power will provide
up to 3.5 hours of standby or up to one hour of talk time, depending on the SX5Tmodel.

Phonecell®SX5TCDMA2000 4 User Manual

Connecting an SX5T Model With a BBU(Backup Battery Unit)

Y our SX5Thas either a Power Supply (part #74007301) or a Battery Backup Unit
(BBU; part #74006803).

If your model has a BBU, it is shipped with the battery disconnected to prevent if from being
prematurely drained.

The BBU must not be connected to a SX5T or to AC power when you
connect or replace the battery . Connecting the wrong wires to the battery terminals may
cause severe damage to the device.

T o connect an SX5T model with a BBU:

1. Make sure the BBU is disconnected from the SX5Tand the AC power cord.

2. Unlatch the battery compartment cover by using a coin to rotate its latch to the open position.

3. Remove the cover.

4. Connect the black wire (-) in the battery compartment to the black terminal (-) on the battery -

see Figure 6.

5. Connect the red wire (+) in the battery compartment to the red terminal (+) on the battery -

see Figure 6.

6. Insert the battery into the battery compartment.

7. Reattach the compartment cover and secure it with the cover latch.

8. Insert the barrel connector of the Power Supply and Battery Backup Unit’s cord into the SX5T’s

Power Input - see Figure 3on page 2.

9. Connect the AC power cord to the Power Supply and Battery Backup Unit, then plug it into a

power outlet - see Figure 3on page 2.

10. Press the Battery Power Switch on the BBU to the ON( |/ right) position.

11. Slide the Power Switch on the SX5Tto the ON (right) position.

12. Check the cellular signal strength and move the unit until you achieve the best signal

possible - see LED Status Indicatorson page 8for more information.

SX5T Location and Installation

The SX5Tcomes with a standard spike antenna (TNC) - see Figure 7. For optimal signal strength,
choose a location that is above ground and as close to windows (or exterior walls) as possible - see
Figure 8. Place the unit where you receive the best signal strength possible. (Cellular signal strength
is displayed by the Received Signal Strength Indicator [RSSI] LEDs on the unit - see LED S tatus
Indicatorson page 8 for more information.)

1. Connect the antenna to the terminal - see Figure 7.

2. Finger-tighten the antenna. Do not over-tighten the antenna.

Wall Mounting

1.

Mark two hole locations 98.5 mm (3-7/8 inches) vertically ap art and drill two holes into the wall.

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

between screw head and wall.

3. Align the mounting holes with the screws and mount the SX5Tonto the screws - see Figures 9

and 10.

GPS Antenna Mounting (optional on SX5T -505C/-535C only)

T o satisfy the FCC's Enhanced 91 1 (E-91 1) Phase II mandate, SX5T-505C and 535C models
distributed in the USAinclude an optional GPS antenna with a mounting bracket and suction cups.
The GPS antenna uses satellite technology during emergency calls to automatically report your
location to a 91 1 dispatcher within 50-100 meters in most cases. For this feature to function, you must
properly mount the GPS antennaon a window as described below in addition to the standard antenna
used for cellular system operation.

1. Mount the bracket on a window with good line of sight (no obstructions to the sky) using the

suction cups. Asmall amount of water or petroleum jelly applied to the window surface of the
suction cups will improve their long-term adhesion to the window - see Figure 8 on page 5.

2. Place the antenna on the topside center of the bracket. The bracket is tilted to aim the

antenna out the window and toward the sky .

3. Connect the antenna to the GPS Connector on the side panel of the SX5T- see Figure 1 1.

Note:

Installation of the GPS antenna is not required for normal operation of the SX5T .
Since E-911 service may not be available in all areas, 91 1 or other emergency calls may not

automatically provide a location. You must be prepared to provide an address during any

emergency calls.

Phonecell®SX5TCDMA2000 7 User Manual

Direct Connection: Phone, Fax and Data

1. Connect a phone to either of your SX5T’s phone (RJ1 1) jacks using a standard telephone cord -

see Figure 1 1 on page 6.

2. If desired, connect your SX5T’s other phone (RJ1 1) jack to a second telephone or a fax machine

using a standard telephone cord - see Figure 1 1on page 6.

3. If desired, connect a computer to the SX5T . Y ou may either:

· Use a T elular USB cable (part #1L01A043 or 81025901) to connect the computer’s USB port

to the SX5T’s data port;

· Use a T elular serial cable (part #1L01A042 or 81025801) to connect the computer’s serial

port to the SX5T’s data port;

· Or use a standard telephone cord to connect the computer’s modem out port to either of the

SX5T’s phone (RJ1 1) jacks.

Contact your service provider to determine what wireless data transfer services are available.
For more information on data connections, see “Windows XP/Windows 2000 Setup for Data &
PC Fax” on page 18or “Windows 98 Setup for Data & PC Fax” on page 24.

Connection via Wall Jacks

If you do not have local phone service, you may use your SX5Tto provide a connection to your
wireless service for devices that are plugged into your wall jacks.

1. Connect either of your SX5T’s phone (RJ1 1) jacks to any wall jack using a standard telephone

cord - see Figure 1 1on page 6.

2. If desired, connect your SX5T’s other phone (RJ1 1) jack to a telephone or fax machine using a

standard telephone cord - see Figure 1 1on page 6.

3. Connect additional phones, a fax machine and/or a computer modem to any available wall

jacks. Contact your service provider to determine what wireless data transfer services are
available.

Important:

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR SX5T TO A WALL JACK IF YOU HAVE OUTSIDE SERVICE
(I.E., A DIAL TONE) AT YOUR WALL JACK.

Y our SX5Twill not function properly and may

become damaged if outside phone service has not been disconnected.
