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 SX5T will only be able to make emergency calls until you install a RUIM card.
Connecting an SX5T Model With a Power Supply Your SX5T has either a Power Supply (part #74007301) or a Battery Backup Unit (BBU; part #74006803). If your unit uses a Power Supply, please follow the instructions below to connect the SX5T to your AC power. If it uses a BBU, please see “Connecting an SX5T Model With a BBU”...
Emergency Batteries If your SX5T has 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.
Connecting an SX5T Model With a BBU (Backup Battery Unit) Your SX5T has 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.
SX5T Location and Installation The SX5T comes 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.
GPS Antenna Mounting (optional on SX5T-505C/-535C only) To satisfy the FCC's Enhanced 911 (E-911) Phase II mandate, SX5T-505C and 535C models distributed in the USA include 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 911 dispatcher within 50-100 meters in most cases.
- see Figure 11 on page 6. If desired, connect a computer to the SX5T. You may either: · Use a Telular USB cable (part #1L01A043 or 81025901) to connect the computer’s USB port to the SX5T’s data port; ·...
