Safety Information  
IMPORTANT!  
To ensure safe and efficient operation, please read the following information  
and observe these guidelines whenever using your Phonecell SX4D.  
Your Phonecell SX4D GSM 900 and SX4D GSM 1800 Desktop Phones  
function as both a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the Desktop  
Phone receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The GSM 900  
unit operates in the frequency range between 890 and 960 MHz, and the  
GSM 1800 between 1710 MHz and 1880 MHz. Both employ commonly used  
phase/frequency modulation techniques. When you use your Phonecell  
SX4D Desktop Phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the  
power level at which your unit transmits. Nominal power output for the GSM  
900 unit is 2 watts and for the GSM 1800 unit is 1 watt.  
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 your Telular Phonecell SX4D 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 control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the  
most power-efficient manner.  
Safe Operation Requirement  
Do not operate your Phonecell SX4D when any person is within 1 inch (2,5 cm) of the  
antenna.  
Temperature Environment  
Operating Temperature: From -10°C (14°F) to +50°C (122°F);  
Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing)  
Storage Temperature: From -20°C (-4°F) to +60°C (140°F);  
Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing)  
WARNING!  
Your Phonecell SX4D must be placed or mounted on a flat surface to allow  
proper ventilation. Do not block the air vents or the space beneath your  
Phonecell SX4D as this could cause the unit to overheat and fail.

Safety Information - continued  
Antenna Care and Replacement  
Do not use the Phonecell SX4D with a damaged antenna. If a damaged anten-  
na comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Have your anten-  
na replaced by a qualified technician immediately. Use only a manufacturer-  
approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments  
could damage the Phonecell SX4D.  
Driving  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular products  
in the areas where you drive. Some jurisdictions prohibit your  
using 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.  
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 your Phonecell SX4D 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 your Phonecell SX4D 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 your Phonecell SX4D 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 your Phonecell SX4D  
OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio."

Safety Information - continued  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn your Phonecell SX4D OFF when in any area with a potential-  
ly explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your Phonecell SX4D 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 storage facilities; areas  
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal pow-  
ders; 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 your  
Phonecell 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.  
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance  
The Phonecell SX4D GSM 900 and GSM 1800 models have been tested and  
found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the  
FCC rules. 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.

Step 1. Antenna Setup  
The Phonecell SX4D comes with an antenna. However, your coverage area may  
require a higher-gain antenna for optimal call clarity and performance. The Phonecell  
SX4D is compatible with a variety of antenna options, including magnetic-mount and  
Yagi models – not supplied.  
Your Phonecell receives operating commands from the cellular network and relies  
upon signal strength for proper operation. Therefore, finding an antenna location with  
good signal strength is critical for optimal call clarity. After you choose a good location,  
connect the antenna, test the signal strength and adjust the location accordingly.  
Antenna Setup:  
Connect the antenna to the TNC  
antenna connector on the rear panel of  
the Phonecell SX4D - see Figure 1.  
Optional Yagi  
Antenna Tips:  
Locate the antenna above ground  
and as close to windows (or exterior  
walls) as possible - see Figure 2.  
Standard  
Antenna  
Optional  
Magnetic  
Mount  
Standard, magnetic-mount and  
elevated feed antennas must  
always point directly upward.  
Yagi antennas must be directed  
toward the service provider’s near-  
est cellular tower.  
TNC Antenna  
Connector  
Keep antenna cable as short as  
possible – long cables may reduce  
call quality.  
Never splice antenna cable.

Step 3. SIM Card Installation and Setup  
IMPORTANT!  
If your Phonecell SX4D did NOT come with a pre-installed mini-SIM (Subscriber  
Identity Module) card, OR if you’re experiencing SIM card-related problems, fol-  
low the steps below. Otherwise, continue with STEP 5.  
How to Install the Mini-SIM Card  
The GSM module within the Phonecell  
SX4D requires a Subscriber  
Identification Module (SIM) for normal  
operation. The service provider sup-  
plies a SIM card, which carries the  
account information needed to operate  
the Phonecell. The mini-SIM compart-  
ment is on the back of the Phonecell -  
see Figure 5.  
NOTE: If your mini-SIM card is  
already installed, skip to the SIM PIN  
Programming section on page 14.  
If you don’t have a mini-SIM card,  
contact your network service  
provider.  
1) Remove the 6 VDC power supply.  
2) Remove the SIM compartment cover  
Figure 5 – Mini-SIM Compartment.  
by removing the screw - see Figure 6.  
3) Open the SIM compartment holder.  
4) Line up the mini-SIM card with the  
arrow on the SIM card holder.

SIM PIN Programming  
The mini-SIM may require entry of a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The  
PIN is a four- to eight-digit number provided with the SIM card. If the service  
provider has set the SIM to require PIN entry, the Phonecell will request the PIN  
each time it is powered ON or the SIM is removed and replaced. The PIN can be  
stored within the Phonecell for automatic entry when required. To use the auto-  
matic PIN entry feature, the PIN must be correctly programmed and automatic  
PIN entry must be enabled.  
If PIN entry is requested while automatic PIN entry is disabled, the Phonecell  
SX4D emits a non-registered service tone. The SIM PIN can be manually entered  
at that time:  
Press: <4-digit SIM number> #  
If entry is successful, the non-registered service tone will be replaced by service  
dial tone.  
IMPORTANT!  
You must enter the PIN correctly. After three attempts to load an incorrect PIN, the  
SIM will be blocked and the SIM card will have to be unblocked. If you do not  
have the unblocking key, the SIM will have to be returned to the service provider  
for reactivation. See How to Unblock a SIM PIN to unblock a SIM card.  
How to Set a New PIN in the SIM  
REMINDER: Automatic PIN entry must be disabled - before and while the SIM PIN  
is changed - until programming of the new PIN and Auto PIN Entry (see previous  
page) is completed.  
1) Lift up the handset (take off-hook).

< old_PIN>  
<new PIN>  
<new PIN> #  
2) Press: * *  
*
*
*
NOTE: You must know the old PIN to change it and the new PIN must be 4 to 8  
digits (0 9) in length.  
3) Incorrect entry of the old PIN will be indicated by a short, three tone sequence  
of rising frequencies. Hang up the handset and start over at step 1 with the cor-  
rect old PIN.  
Incorrect length (less than 4 or more than 8 digits) of the new PIN or not enter-  
ing the same value in both new PIN entries will result in silence. Hang up the  
telephone handset and start over at step1.  
Correct entry will be confirmed by a short beep. Hang up the handset.  
For Example: To set up a new SIM with PIN "5678", where the old PIN is  
“1234,” dial:  
04  
1 2 3 4  
5 6 7 8

Enter Automatic PIN Entry Option  
The following key sequence is used to enable or disable the automatic PIN entry:  
Label: ENABLE AUTO PIN  
Data: <auto_PIN>  
<PIN>  
*
The auto PIN value is set to 0 to disable automatic PIN entry; set to 1 to enable  
automatic PIN entry. If the auto PIN value is neither 0 nor 1, it is considered  
invalid. The factory default value is 0 (disabled). The factory default setting for the  
PIN is "1234".  
Enter PIN For Automatic PIN Entry  
The following key sequence is used to change the SIM PIN for automatic PIN entry:  
Label: CHANGE AUTO PIN  
Data: <old_PIN>  
<new_PIN>  
*
The factory default setting for the PIN is "1234". The new SIM PIN is supplied by  
the service provider with a new SIM.  
NOTE: This command does not change the PIN encoded on the SIM by the service  
provider. It only changes the PIN supplied for automatic PIN entry by the FWT to match  
that encoded on the SIM. See the SIM Card Installation and Setup section of this manual  
for instructions to change the PINs encoded on the SIM.

Step 4. Determine Phonecell SX4D Location  
The Phonecell SX4D operates using the existing cellular network and relies upon  
the cellular signal for proper operation. It is highly recommended that you place  
the unit in a location with a strong cellular signal. The strength and quality of the  
cellular signal is one of the most important factors in achieving high-quality  
telephone communications.  
The Phonecell SX4D will usually be placed on a desk or table, but may be hung  
on a wall if that is more convenient for the user. For best results, the unit should  
be mounted near a window or on an exterior wall - see Figure 7 and Figure 8.  
Figure 7 – Phonecell SX4D placed on a flat sur-  
face (desk/table). For best results, the antenna  
should be pointed up and the Phonecell SX4D  
should be placed near a window (or exterior  
walls).  
Figure 8 – Phonecell SX4D mounted on a  
wall. For best results, the antenna should be  
pointed up and the Phonecell SX4D should  
be placed near a window (or exterior walls).

Step 5. Optional Wall-Mount Installation  
Your Phonecell SX4D may be mounted on a wall. Be sure to test call quality in the  
selected location before you permanently mount the Phonecell SX4D to the wall.  
Pre-Installation Tips:  
Make sure the location is dry, away from  
overhead water pipes, and protected  
from weather conditions.  
The area should be free of airborne con-  
taminants.  
The Phonecell SX4D power supply  
should be located within two meters (six  
feet) of an AC power outlet.  
Wall-Mount Instructions:  
1) The Phonecell SX4D comes equipped  
with a handset mounting clip for wall-  
mounting applications. Remove the clip  
from the cradle - see Figures 10 and 11.  
2) Insert the handset mounting clip with  
the tab pointing up - see Figures 10

3) To mount the Phonecell SX4D on a  
wall, mark two hole locations 83 mm (3-  
1/4 inches) apart. Use the tick marks on  
the edge of this page as a template.  
These hole locations match the mount-  
ing hooks on the back of the unit - see  
Figure 9.  
4) Using the two hole locations marked  
above, drill two holes into the wall.  
5) Install the screws (not supplied), into  
the wall,leaving a gap (approximately 3  
mm (1/8 inch)) between screw head  
and wall.

How to Place a Call  
1) Pick up your Phonecell SX4D handset (your phone is now “off-hook”).  
2) Listen for dial tone (If service is not available, a No-Service tone is produced  
and the letter “N” is displayed on the LCD in the Alpha (bottom) row. Hang-up  
the Phonecell SX4D and try again. If the No-Service tone continues and the  
“N” continues to be displayed, contact your service provider to make sure cellu-  
lar service is activated.).  
3) Dial the phone number.  
How to Receive a Call  
When your Phonecell SX4D rings, pick up the handset and begin talking.  
How to End a Call  
Hang-up the phone (place the handset back onto the Phonecell SX4D cradle).  
The Hookflash Function  
When you initiate the Hookflash function, it automatically lets you:  
Speed up the connection after you dial a phone number.  
Answer an incoming call that occurs when you’re dialing a phone number.  
Use special (supplementary) cellular services which may be available in your  
cellular service area.  
How to Use the Hookflash Function  
There are two ways to initiate the Hookflash function:  
Press the “FLASH” key on your Phonecell SX4D.  
Press the hang-up or switch-hook mechanism on your Phonecell SX4D once  
quickly (approximately 1/2-second).  
Important Tones and Alerts  
No-Service Tone – When cellular service is not available, the receiver emits a  
No-Service (fast-beeping) tone instead of the normal (steady) dial tone.  
ROH (Receiver Off-Hook) Tone – If the Phonecell SX4D handset remains off-  
hook (off its cradle) with no dialing activity for 30 seconds, the receiver emits an  
ROH tone for 45 seconds.  
Incoming Call Alert – If you’re dialing a number and an incoming call occurs,  
the receiver will emit an audible ring. To answer the incoming call:  
Press the “FLASH” button once. This will connect the incoming call.  
OR hang-up immediately. This will cause the phone to start ringing.  
Roam Dial Tone – When cellular service is available, but the Phonecell SX4D  
is in a Roam area, the receiver may emit a different dial tone to indicate the  
roaming condition. However, unless the Phonecell SX4D is re-programmed in  
the field, the factory default tone is set the same as normal service dial tone.

Phonecell Operation - continued  
Variable Dial Time (Auto SEND Delay) Option  
When you place a call, your Phonecell SX4D automatically sends the phone  
number over the cellular network after you dial the last digit. However, to make  
sure you have enough time to dial the last digit, a 3-second Auto SEND Delay is  
programmed into the unit at the factory. To change the Auto SEND Delay setting,  
see the User Programming Commands section of this manual.  
Zero Dial Delay for Frequently Called Numbers  
A new patented feature enables the Phonecell SX4D to recognize your frequently  
called phone numbers and send them immediately – without the 3-second Auto  
SEND Delay. The Phonecell SX4D stores a list of up to 50 different numbers in its  
memory. This list contains the last 50 numbers that have been called at least  
twice successfully.  
NOTE: Cycling (turning OFF/ON) the power will erase the current list. A new list  
will be started when power is re-applied. To enable or disable this feature, see  
the User Programming Commands section of this manual.  
Mobile Equipment Personalization (MEP)  
The terminal will support all five lock type features of GSM 02.22. Personalization  
features check information stored in the terminal which limits the SIMs with which the  
terminal will operate. Factory default is all lock types set to be deactivated. Please  
contact Telular Corporation if you need more information on this feature.  
Three-Digit Dialing  
In many countries, three-digit dialing is needed to access emergency services, infor-  
mation services, and voicemail. The Phonecell SX4D accepts three-digit dialing.  
Using Standard Supplementary Services  
Your Phonecell SX4D is compatible with a variety of special services, including:  
Call Forwarding  
Call Barring  
Call Waiting  
Three-Way Calling  
Caller ID  
Voice Mail  
and more...  
Depending upon your cellular provider, these services may be available on a  
subscription basis. However, certain dialing sequences must be entered. Please  
consult your service provider for the dialing instructions for your system.  
Standard supplementary services are defined as those supplementary services  
handled while not in a call. Depending on the supplementary service, several  
commands may be available. The command list is defined below:

Registration - The programming by the user of information to enable subsequent  
operation of a service. This action involves input of specific supplementary infor-  
mation. For example, when call-forwarding registration is initiated by the user, a  
forwarding number must be supplied.  
Erasure - The deletion of information stored against a particular service by a pre-  
vious registration.  
Activation - An action taken by the Desktop Phone user to enable a previously  
registered process to run.  
Deactivation - An action taken by the Desktop phone user to terminate the  
process started at activation.  
Depending on the supplementary service, additional parameters may be required  
to successfully complete an operation, such as phone number or password.  
Some supplementary services have optional parameters, such as Teleservice  
and/or Delay settings. Delay is the amount of time to wait before completing per-  
formance of a service that has a condition controlling its activity; for example, call  
forward on no answer waits an amount of time equal to the "delay" for the phone  
to be answered before declaring no answer and forwarding the call.

Phonecell SX4D Troubleshooting  
Cellular Telephone Service is Not Working  
If the cellular telephone service is not working, contact your cellular provider.  
Unable to Receive Incoming Calls  
Verify that the Phonecell SX4D is “on-hook” (hung up).  
Moisture or Ventilation Problems  
Visually inspect your Phonecell SX4D’s enclosure. Moisture can damage the  
equipment. Ventilation is also very important. If there are moisture or ventilation  
problems, move your Phonecell SX4D to correct as necessary, see the  
Temperature Environment section of this manual.  
No Power  
To properly operate, the Phonecell SX4D must either be connected to AC power  
or have the required batteries loaded in the battery compartment. Upon loss of  
power to the Phonecell SX4D, verify proper connection to AC. If AC power is  
unavailable, verify that the batteries are in good condition and that the battery  
switch is in the battery power active position.  
Battery Backup Failure  
The Phonecell SX4D can accommodate 6 standard AAA alkaline batteries for  
operation when AC power is not available. A switch is used to select either AC or  
internal battery operation. When the internal battery operation is selected, the  
Phonecell SX4D will operate for approximately 10 minutes of talk time with fresh  
batteries. Replace the batteries if necessary.  
NOTE: The Phonecell SX4D does not support rechargeable batteries  
WARNING!  
Only Authorized Service Personnel should remove the cover of your  
Phonecell SX4D. For further assistance, contact your Authorized Telular  
Representative. Please have the model and serial number ready (model and  
serial numbers are located on the label on the bottom of the unit).

Phonecell SX4D Programming  
Phonecell SX4D Programming Mode Overview  
The Phonecell SX4D has several programmable options for unique customer or  
network applications. These options are stored in the Phonecell SX4D’s non-  
volatile memory and are retained during power cycling.  
Programming Mode  
The Phonecell SX4D’s non-volatile memory can be accessed in the Programming  
Mode. The handset must be “on-hook” before entering the programming mode.  
Normal Mode operation is suspended during programming and is available when  
the programming mode is exited.  
Enter Programming Mode  
To enter the user programming mode, simultaneously press the “Flash” and star  
(*) keys. The PM (Programming Mode) icon will illuminate on the LCD.  
Programming Mode Overview:  
1. Stored data appears on the Dialed Digits (middle) row of the LCD.  
2. A descriptive label appears on the Alpha (bottom) row of the LCD. The label  
order is identical in both the user and technician command modes.  
3. The Up/Down keys are used to scroll through the menu items.  
4. Pressing any numeric key(or, if allowed, the or # key) when a label is displayed causes:  
*
• The Dialed Digits row to turn off  
• The NEW icon to illuminate  
• The pressed key to appear at the rightmost Dialed Digits row position.  
5. Pressing the Redial key after a numeric entry will attempt to store the data.  
6. A correct entry will cause the NEW icon to disappear and the new stored data  
to be displayed on the Dialed Digits row.  
7. An incorrect entry causes the Dialed Digits row to flash. When a numeric key  
is then pressed, it causes:  
• The Dialed Digits row to turn off  
• The NEW icon to remain illuminated  
• The pressed key to appear at the rightmost Dialed Digits row position.  
8. When entering data, the NEW icon is illuminated. Pressing the Flash key at  
any time will cancel the operation and redisplay the stored data on the Dialed  
Digits row. The NEW icon will then turn off.  
During programming, the unit automatically proceeds through the following steps:

keys simultaneously. A "PASSWORD" label will be displayed on the alpha row.  
The technician enters the password. As the password digits are entered from the  
keypad, only the center segment of the dialed digits row will illuminate. Note that  
as an exception to entry rule #4, the NEW icon will not illuminate, since the pass-  
word data is not being changed. When the technician presses the Redial key, the  
password is processed. If the password is correct, the "DTRCT" label is displayed  
on the alpha row. If not, the incorrect entry rule #7 will be followed, except that the  
NEW icon will not be illuminated. If the user fails to enter the correct password  
after three tries, the programming mode is exited without flashing the dialed digit  
row.
