A data cable - not supplied - is required for data transmission. To determine the necessary cable,
count the number of PIN connections in the serial port of your PC (see below). If there are 9 PIN con-
nections in the PC serial port, a DB-9 (female) to DB-9 (male) cable is required. If there are 25 PIN
connections in the PC serial port, a DB-25 (female) to DB-9 (male) cable is required - see Figure 11.
NOTE: The SX5e does not support direct computer modem (data) operation through the phone
or fax ports.

Dial-Up Connections
The SX5e allows for traditional dial-up type connections using the serial port of a computer.
To use a dial-up connection (circuit switched connection), setup your PC serial port as defined in
Appendix A - How to Setup PC Serial Ports for Your Phonecell®. Then setup a dial-up networking
connection (see your PC's operating systems manual for more information).
Internet, E-mail, and Other Data Applications
Once you connect to your Internet service provider using dial-up networking through the serial
port connection with the SX5e, you can run your favorite application to check email, browse the
web, or send and receive data with other applications that require a data connection.
Digital Fax
The SX5e allows digital faxes to be sent or received from/to a standard personal computer using
PC fax application software.
Sending a Digital Fax
No special mode setting is required when sending a digital fax. The PC fax emulator will change
the terminal mode automatically. The SX5e will reset automatically to voice call mode after send-
ing the fax file.

Receiving a Digital Fax
The SX5e can receive digital faxes through the serial port when the PC is configured with the
proper application software, such as Winfax or Netfax. To do this, you must configure the com-
puter modem and configure the SX5e.
1. Set up a serial port connection, see Appendix A - How to Setup PC Serial Ports for Your
Phonecell®.
2. Using a tone dial (DTMF) telephone attached to the telephone port (marked with a phone
icon) of the SX5e, press: #
through the serial port.
* 67
* 3 #. This will configure the SX5e to receive faxes
HINT: To change the SX5e to receive faxes through the phone jack, press: #
* 67
* 1 #.
3. Run the PC fax application as required.
GPRS (Packet Data) Connections

The SX5e features General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) capability that allows for an “always
on” packet data connection to the Internet if you subscribe to this service. The advantage of this
type of connection is that it is never necessary to “dial-up” to access the Internet. Once
activated, the connection remains active whether or not you are working online.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Connections
The SX5e will allow GPRS connectivity if your network service provider has this feature avail-
able. GPRS allows packet data connections at higher speeds than conventional circuit switched
(dial-up) connections. An SX5 Data Kit is required for the SX5e to use GPRS service. This kit
contains a serial cable and a setup CD for installation on a standard personal computer. Contact
your service provider or nearest Telular dealer for more information.

SX5e GSM FWT WITH FAX
The SX5e GSM FWT with Fax allows connection to a fax machine and additional telephones.
The SX5e can be set up to use one or both of its phone jacks. In Single Jack mode, only the
jack designated with a telephone icon is operational. You can connect a fax machine or an addi-
tional telephone into that jack, but to receive faxes you must have a fax machine connected. In
Dual Jack mode, the unmarked jack is used for fax, and the jack marked with the telephone icon
is used for any additional phones.

Figure 12 - Dual Jack mode connections.
Connect SX5e for Single Jack Mode
1. Connect a fax machine to the phone jack on the SX5e that is marked with a telephone
icon - see Figure 13.
NOTE: The fax by-pass must be entered to send a fax in single jack mode because the
SX5e default setting is for voice calls.
Figure 13 - Single Jack mode connection.
Analog Fax Bypass

This feature allows the phone jack to process the next outgoing call as an analog fax call. After
this call, the phone jack automatically returns to the default voice protocol. The user enters this
key sequence prior to dialing the telephone number. The terminal interprets the string and prop-
erly sets up the call. Refer to the following examples.
NOTE: The analog fax bypass string can only be used in single jack operation.

SX5e GSM PBX FWT
The SX5e GSM PBX FWT allows for enterprise On-Premise Equipment or PBX operation when
the SX5e is connected to the trunk or extension side of a PBX.
WARNING!
The trunk side of the PBX must only be connected to the trunk side of the
!
SX5e (marked with a telephone icon) - see Figure 14. An extension of the
PBX must only be connected to the extension side of the SX5e (unmarked) -
see Figure 15. Improper connections could damage the SX5e.
Trunk Side PBX Connection (Trunk Mode)

When the SX5e is connected to the trunk side of a PBX, it allows users within the enterprise to
take advantage of potentially lower cellular/PCS rates by routing outgoing calls to the GSM
network. Incoming calls to the SX5e from outside the enterprise can be routed to the PBX.
Depending on the PBX setup, these incoming calls could also be routed to a specific extension.
Trunk Side Setup (Trunk Mode)
To use the SX5e Trunk Mode, con-
nect an analog trunk from the PBX
into the trunk connector
of the SX5e (marked with telephone
icon) - see Figure 14.
HINT: If the SX5e has been changed

to Extension Mode, be sure to change
it back to Trunk Mode. To do this,
connect a tone-dial (DTMF) telephone To Trunk Side
to the trunk side jack on the SX5e of the PBX
and press: #
* 108
* 2 #.
Figure 14 - Connect to trunk side of PBX.
Extension Side PBX Connection (Extension Mode)

When the SX5e is connected to the extension side of a PBX, it allows users to call into the
enterprise via the SX5e, dial an extension, be routed to an extension automatically, or connect
back out to the PBX trunk.
Extension Side Setup
To use the SX5e in Extension Mode, connect
an analog extension from the PBX to the
extension connector of the SX5 (RJ-11 with
no markings) - see Figure 15. Then connect
a DTMF phone to the trunk side (RJ-11
marked with a telephone icon) and set the
SX5e to Extension Mode by pressing: #
*
108
* 1 # on the DTMF phone. The SX5e
is now in Extension Mode.
To Extension
Side of the PBX
Figure 15 - Connect to extension side of PBX.

Disconnect Detect Setup
The SX5e is able to detect both a PBX disconnect tone and an analog disconnect pulse. When a
PBX detects a hang-up, the SX5e must be told to also release the line. This is typically done by
either a disconnect pulse or disconnect tone, but it is PBX specific. To find out what your PBX
does, contact your PBX manufacturer or refer to your PBX technical manual.
Disconnect Tone
The SX5e can be configured to detect a single PBX disconnect tone. Fifteen standard DTMF
*
tones can be detected. These include DTMF 1 through 9, , #, A, B, C, and D. The SX5e PBX
FWT defaults to not detect a DTMF tone. To configure the SX5e to detect one of the DTMF
tones enter, from a connected POTS phone, press #
* *
111 <dtmf> # where <dtmf> must
be 1 through 16. To disable DTMF detection on disconnect, use 0 for <dtmf>. See the PBX
Command Summary section of this manual.
HINT: When configuring the SX5e for DTMF Detection, try using DTMF D (15) first, then test
the configuration with your PBX. If that does not work, try DTMF C (14), then DTMF B (13),
etc., until you find the correct tone that your PBX sends on a disconnect.
NOTE: Your PBX must support a DTMF disconnect tone for this to work.
Disconnect Pulse
The SX5e will automatically detect this type of disconnection from the PBX. There is nothing
you need to do on the SX5e to enable this. A disconnect pulse from the PBX of at least 200ms
is required for proper disconnect detection.
Two-Stage Dialing Setup (GSM to Extension)
When in Extension Mode, the SX5e allows two-stage dialing so incoming GSM callers can con-
nect to an extension on the PBX. In this mode, if you call the SX5e via GSM, the SX5e will auto-
matically answer the call and present a dial tone. Since the SX5e would be connected to an
extension on a PBX, you can access any other extension on the PBX as though you where in
your office. Dial the extension number and the SX5e will connect you to that extension through
the PBX. Once in extension mode, press #
* *
109 1 # from a DTMF phone connected to the
trunk connector of the SX5e - see Figure 15. The SX5e is now configured for Two-Stage Dialing.
Example: Assume that your SX5e is connected to a PBX on extension 123. Now assume that you
want to be able to connect to any extension (i.e. 858) when you call the SX5e on the GSM network.
* *
1. Make sure you are in Extension Mode by entering # 108 1 # from a DTMF phone
connected to the trunk side connector.
2. Enable Two-Stage Dialing by pressing #
to the trunk side connector.
* *
109 1 # from the same DTMF phone connected
3. When the SX5e receives a call, it will automatically answer the call, then present a dial tone.
4. When you hear a dial tone, enter the extension you wish to call (858).
5. The far end caller (the person who called the SX5e) will hear whatever the PBX presents
after you dialed the extension number.
Auto-Routing Setup (GSM to Extension)
The SX5e can be configured to automatically route an incoming call from the GSM network to an
extension in the PBX when in Extension Mode. Two steps are required to set this up after you
connect a DTMF telephone to the trunk side of the SX5e (marked with a telephone icon).
*
1. Enable auto-routing by pressing: # 109 0 #
*
* *
2. Configure the extension to route to by pressing: # 110 <extension number> #
NOTE: The extension number can be up to 8 digits, between 0 through 9.
Example: Assume that the SX5e is connected to extension 123 of your PBX. To enable the SX5e
to automatically route all its GSM calls to another extension that goes to a specific person or
operator at extension 999, follow these instructions.
* *
1. Make sure you are in Extension Mode by entering # 108 1 # from a DTMF phone con-
nected to the trunk side connector.
2. Enable Auto-Routing by pressing #
the trunk side connector.
* *
109 0 # from the same DTMF phone connected to
* *
3. Configure the auto-route extension (in this example, 999) by pressing # 110 999 #.
4. When the SX5e receives a call, it will automatically answer the call, then dial 999 on the
extension line. This means extension 123 is calling 999.
5. The far end caller (the person who called the SX5e) will hear the line answered, then will
hear whatever the PBX presents when calling an extension.

Two-Stage Extension Side Dialing (Extension to GSM)
When connected to a PBX extension, any other extension on the PBX can access the SX5e.
The SX5e will always present two-stage dialing where another extension can access the GSM
network (extension side least cost routing). Only Extension Mode setup is required. No other set-
tings need changing.
Example: The SX5e is connected to extension 123 on the PBX. To allow extension side dialing,
setup the unit for Extension Mode and call the unit.
* *
1. Make sure you are in Extension Mode by entering # 108 1 # from a DTMF phone con-
nected to the trunk side connector.
2. Call extension 123 from another PBX extension (or from the trunk side of the PBX).
3. When called, the SX5e will automatically answer, then present a dial tone.
4. Once a dial tone is heard, you may dial a number. The connection will be over the GSM network.

SX5e TECHNICIAN SETUP
The following commands are to used by trained field technicians to set up the SX5e for operation
on the network. Since these commands can directly affect the proper operation of the unit, there
is an additional level of security to prevent casual access.
Enter Technician-Programming Mode
Technician setup commands are only accessible in Technician Programming Mode. Once in this
mode, multiple commands can be accessed without having to exit and re-enter this mode.
Press: #
* 0
* 12344321#
The dial tone will change to a steady “Programming” tone and the Power/Battery LED indicator
will flash alternately RED and GREEN.
Dial Tone After Disconnect
When enabled, this allows dial tone to be heard immediately after a disconnect. Sometimes the
network takes too long to fully disconnect the call, so this parameter allows immediate dial tone,
even if the network has not completed the call termination, and allows the user to attempt to
make another call.
Press: #
* 8
*
<dial tone option> #
0 = no tone after a remote on-hook (default)
1 = enable dial tone after remote on hook
Receiver Off-Hook (ROH) Setup
When the connected phone is off-hook for an extended length of time and not in a call, an ROH
tone can be generated to the phone that will notify the user that the phone has been off-hook and
should be placed on-hook. Continuous means that the ROH tone will be on continuously, inde-
pendent of the ROH Stop Time parameter. Non-continuous means that the tone will stop at the
specified Stop Time parameter. This command is effected by the ROH Start and End parameters.
Press: #
* 9
*
<post ROH option> #
0 = continuous ROH tone
1= non-continuous ROH tone (default)
ROH Start and End Setup
These parameters allow setup of the when the ROH tone starts and when it ends after it starts.
NOTE: The stop time only affects Non-Continuous in ROH Setup. The start and end time
parameters are in seconds.
• To change start time, press: #
* *
102 <start time> #
* *
• To change end time, press: # 103 <end time> #
Start time and end time values can be between 10 and 90 seconds. Start time default is
50 seconds. End time default is 60 seconds.
Example: If you want ROH to start 30 seconds after the phone has been off hook and stop 50
seconds after that (meaning that the ROH tone will be heard for 50 seconds), then do the following.
* *
1. Enable non-continuous ROH by pressing # 9 1 # on the connected DTMF phone.
2. Set the ROH Start Time to 30 seconds by pressing # 102 30 #.
* *
3. Set the ROH Stop Time to 50 seconds by pressing # 103 50 #.

This sets up the SX5e to polarity reverse the tip and ring lines on the RJ-11jack when an
incoming call is received (the phone starts ringing).
Press: #
* 23
* <line_reversal_incoming> #
0 = disable line reversal (default)
1 = enable line reversal
Disconnect Pulse
This pulse is generated by the SX5e on the RJ-11 jacks to indicate that the active call has been
remotely disconnected (disconnected at the far end).
Press: #
* 79
*<disconnect pulse> #
The disconnect pulse value is programmed in 1 millisecond increments from 0 to 65,535.
A value of 0 disables the disconnect pulse. The default is 700.

SX5e TROUBLESHOOTING
Telephone Service is Not Working
If the telephone service is not working, first check the operation of the telephone equipment and
wiring connected to the SX5e. Test the equipment on a different service or piece of equipment to
ensure proper operation, or connect a known good telephone device to the phone port on the
SX5e. This will verify the condition of the telephone equipment and the internal wiring of the tele-
phone service to ensure that it’s working properly. If the telephone system or wiring is not work-
ing properly, replace or repair the equipment as required. Otherwise, contact your cellular
provider or your authorized Telular distributor.
Unable to Receive Incoming Calls
If more than one telephone or telephone device is connected to the SX5e, make sure that all
devices are “on-hook” (hung up). If one extension is “off-hook” (off its cradle), none of the exten-
sions on the phone line will ring when an incoming call occurs.
Unable to Send/Receive Data/FAX Calls
Check all the connections from the SX5e to other equipment (computer, fax machine, etc.).
Verify that necessary settings have been properly configured (see the Data Features or the
Analog Fax sections of this manual). If everything is properly connected and configured and you
are still unable to send or receive data or fax calls, contact your service provider.
Moisture or Ventilation Problems
Visually inspect the SX5e’s unit enclosure. Moisture can damage the equipment. Ventilation is
also very important. If there are moisture or ventilation problems, move the SX5e to correct as
necessary. See the Temperature Environment section of this manual.
No Power
The power LED lamp on the front of the SX5e indicates the unit’s power condition. If the LED is
GREEN, the SX5e is receiving power. If the power cord is connected and the LED lamp is not lit,
the SX5e is not receiving power. Verify that the AC power source and its corresponding circuit
breaker are functioning properly.

CONFORMANCE STATEMENTS
The SX5e 900/1800 MHz (Dual Band) models are in conformance with the requirements of the
applicable EU CE Council Directives.
The SX5e 1900 Mhz models are in conformance with all applicable FCC requirements.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance

This Phonecell® SX5 model has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Telular Corporation will void your authority to operate the equipment per FCC part
15 paragraph 15.21.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the terminal.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the terminal is
connected.
• Consult your Authorized Telular Distributor or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
SAFETY INFORMATION
The Phonecell® SX5 functions as both a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the SX5
receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The SX5 GSM 900/1800 Dual-Band unit
operates in the frequency ranges of 890 MHz to 960 MHz and 1710 MHz to 1880 MHz. The
SX5 1900 unit operates in the frequency range of 1850 MHz to 1990 MHz. Both units employ
commonly used phase/frequency modulation techniques. When you use the SX5, the cellular
system handling your call controls the power level at which the unit transmits.
Exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) Energy
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to RF energy. After reviewing the available body of research, more
than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and
industry developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of the Telular Phonecell® SX5 complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if you
want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to con-
trol the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.
Safe Operation Requirement

The Phonecell® SX5 must be either wall mounted or desk mounted and should not be operated
when any person is within 203 mm (8 inches) of the antenna.
Temperature Environment
Operating Temperature: From -10°C to +50°C ; Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
Storage Temperature: From -40°C to +60°C; Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the Phonecell® SX5 with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into con-
tact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Have the antenna replaced by a qualified technician
immediately. Use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the Phonecell® SX5.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular products in the areas where you drive.
Some jurisdictions prohibit use of a cellular device while driving a vehicle. Even if your jurisdiction
does not have such a law, we strongly suggest that, for safety reasons, the driver use extreme
caution when operating the cellular device while the vehicle is in motion. Always obey the law.

WARNING!
The Phonecell® SX5 is intended either to be wall mounted or mounted on
! a flat surface to allow proper ventilation. Do not block the space beneath
the Phonecell® SX5 as this could cause the unit to overheat and fail.
Exposure to electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular
devices may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should also
check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids,
etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn the Phonecell® SX5 OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
Turn OFF the Phonecell® SX5 before boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
• Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your cellular phone (or
any other cellular product) while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with aircraft
systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your cellular device while the plane is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with the Phonecell® SX5 to prevent damage to the unit.
Blasting Areas
Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. Therefore, to avoid
interfering with blasting operations, turn the Phonecell® SX5 OFF when in a "blasting area" or in
areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio."
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn the Phonecell® SX5 OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is
rare, but the Phonecell® SX5 or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or stor-
age facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the area of the Phonecell® SX5
or accessories.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National
Fire Protection Standard (FPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.
