DATA FEATURES (SX6P-300G series only)
When connected to a personal computer (PC), the SX6P is capable of sending and receiving
digital fax and data, sending and receiving email communications, and accessing the Internet.
Data speeds may vary depending upon your cellular network.
DB9 Data Port
Connect SX6P to a Computer
Use a RS232 serial cable to connect the DB-9 data port on
the SX6P to the appropriate data port on your PC.
Configure PC for Circuit Switched Data

• Active GSM account with your network service
provider including a Data/Fax facility
• Windows (version 2000 or later)
• PC with a COM Port.

NOTE: When all of the above have been satisfied, you may proceed.
Modem Setup
1. Power on your PC/laptop.
2. Access the Control Panel, then select the Modems option.
3. Install a new modem device for the SX6P with the following specifications:
Modem Type: Standard 19200 bps Modem
Maximum speed of serial port: 19,200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Use Flow Control: Enable this option and select Hardware [RTS/CTS]
Extra settings: AT & D1
Automatic Baud Rate Fall Back Control
The SX6P supports an automatic fallback to 19,200 bps when errors are detected in the data
stream. This is useful for applications such as PC digital fax because most PC fax applications
require a 19,200 bps baud rate on the serial port.
Enabling Fallback
Enable this feature when you have an application that uses a port speed of 19,200 bps. When
the SX6P has a port speed that does not match the port speed on the PC, errors will be detect-
ed. When these errors are detected, the SX6P will adjust the port speed to 19,200 bps, thus
matching the PC application rate of 19,200 bps. It does not matter if the SX6P's port speed is
higher or lower than 19,200 bps, the SX6P will still adjust the rate to 19,200 bps.
NOTE: The SX6P does not support autobauding and will only adjust the port speed to 19,200
bps under the above conditions. No other rate will be automatically set.
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Select Settings then Data Settings.
3. Select DTE Fallback then On. (This is the factory default setting)
When to Disable Fallback
If you mainly use the SX6P for GPRS data, then disable fallback of the port rate. This will allow
some errors in the data stream without effecting a change in port speed on the SX6P.
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Select Settings then Data Settings.
3. Select DTE Fallback then Off.

Baud Rate AT Commands
The SX6P will accept AT commands to setup the port speed. If you want to change the SX6P
port speed for a session or keep the change permanent, or if you just want to see the profile set-
tings, use the following AT commands from a terminal application (like HyperTerminal).
NOTE: Make sure DTE Fallback is OFF before making changes to the baud rate.

Digital Fax Setup
The SX6P is capable of receiving and sending faxes via a personal computer using a standard
RS232 serial port. The PC application and modem setup must be able to support software flow
control. To setup flow control properly, follow the instructions for setting up a standard modem
connection in Appendix A of this manual with the following changes.
HINT: Setup a separate modem for PC fax and a separate modem for PC circuit switched data
connections. This way you will not have to make changes to the modem settings every time you
want to use fax or data.
1. Change the flow control of the standard modem to enable software flow control.
2. Change Extra Settings from AT&D1 to AT+IFC=1,1 &d1. This enables software flow control
on the SX6P.
3. On the SX6P, select the serial port for your data connections by entering the MENU, then
select Settings, then Fax Port, then Data Port, and then Serial Port (DB9).
4. Run your PC fax application using this new modem connection for receiving and sending
faxes.
GPRS (Packet Data) Connections
The SX6P will allow GPRS connectivity if your network service provider has this feature
available. GPRS allows packet data connections at higher speeds than conventional circuit
switched (dial-up) connections. A GPRS Kit can be used when you are connecting with 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 dealer for more information.

CONFORMANCE STATEMENTS
The SX6P 850/1900 Mhz models are in conformance with all applicable FCC requirements.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This Phonecell® SX6P 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® SX6P functions as both a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the
SX6P receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The SX6P GSM 900/1800 unit oper-
ates in the frequency ranges of 890 MHz to 960 MHz and 1710 MHz to 1880 MHz. The
SX6P 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 SX6P, 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 your Telular Phonecell® SX6P 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
The Phonecell® SX6P 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® SX6P with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Have your antenna replaced by a qualified techni-
cian immediately. Use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifica-
tions, or attachments could damage the Phonecell® SX6P.
WARNING!
DO NOT PICK UP OR CARRY THE PHONE BY ITS ANTENNA. THIS
!
ACTION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
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 juris-
diction 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® SX6P 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® SX6P 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® SX6P 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® SX6P OFF when in a "blasting area" or
in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio."

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your Phonecell® SX6P OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is
rare, but your Phonecell® SX6P 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 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 your Phonecell®
SX6P or accessories.
