Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Wi PATHTMSX7 as your wireless data connection solution. The SX7T Voice/Fax/Data Terminal and the SX7M Modem each provide high-speed wireless WAN connectivity, taking advantage of your current CDMA wireless services to deliver the best performance available, including EVDO high-speed data service. The SX7 adapts to changing locations and service availability and always uses the best possible data connections available through your wireless service provider.
In addition to providing a reliable data connection, the SX7T EVDO terminal version offers voice and fax options that you can use without terminating your connected wireless data services (network dependent).

IMPORTANT
E911 (Enhanced 911) Information – Your unit is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning
System) antenna for utilizing E911 emergency location services where available. When you place an emergency 911 call from your device (SX7T only), the GPS feature will calculate and transmit your approximate location.
When you set up your unit for the first time, it is recommended that you position your SX7 near a window to receive the necessary GPS data with less interference.
Always report your location to the 911 operator when placing an emergency call.
Some designated emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) may not be equipped to receive GPS location information from your SX7T.
Note
As marked on the back of the unit, the Antenna 1 terminal primarily handles voice and data services. The Antenna 2 terminal provides radio diversity for optimized data speeds, as well as GPS functionality for E911 and potential future location-based applications. Either TNC Antenna may be used in either terminal.

3. Connect the Power Supply Adapter to the unit’s Power Input and connect the Power Line Cord to the Power Supply Adapter. Then, connect the Power Supply Adapter plug
into a power outlet.
4. (Optional) For optimal performance and protection, you may elect to connect a copper wire (not included) to the protective earth Ground Connector Screw to ground the device.
In a building environment, connecting to an earth ground (such as a cold water pipe)
can protect the device and peripherals from static and conducted electricity. It can also reduce static or buzzing during voice calls (SX7T only).
In a vehicle environment, grounding to the frame and battery or alternator can reduce
static or buzzing during voice calls (SX7T only).
