5. Do not disassemble the terminal.
6. Do not use the power adapter if:
- The power cord is damaged.
- The adapter has been damaged in any way.
7. Use only the AXESSTEL provided power adapter. Do not use the AXESSTEL power adapter for
any other purposes.
8. Use only the AXESSTEL provided antenna. Do not use the antenna for any other purposes.
9. Frequency and length of use can affect the life of the self-charging battery. Contact your point of
sale’s customer service department if the battery is not operating properly.
10. Use only the designated self-charging battery. Dispose of exhausted batteries properly.
Never discard a battery in or near a fire or flame.

BASICINSTALLATION
INTERNAL BATTERY INSTALLATION
This TX240G operates by receiving electricity from an electrical outlet or internal battery.
1. Open the battery cover on the bottom side of the terminal.
2. Connect the Battery power cable to the terminal.
3. Insert the battery pack in the right position between the hold bars.
4. Close the battery cover.
SETTING UP THE TERMINAL
1. Connect the antenna by screwing it into
the TNC connector on the back of the terminal.
2. Connect a wired or cordless telephone to the
terminal using the RJ-11 phone cord.
NOTE: Use wired or cordless telephones compatible to FCC part 68 only. Non-compliant
telephones may not work properly.
3. Plug the AC adapter plug into the DC 5V jack of the Terminal.
4. Plug the AC adapter plug into an appropriate electrical outlet.

7
Connecting the Terminal to Home Phone Wall Outlet.
The TX240 can be connected to a home wall phone jack to generate a dial tone service throughout
the entire home and allow users to use phones from any other home wall phone jack. Please verify
that the home wall phone jacks do not have existing active telephone service and that they are not
powered. Before connecting the terminal to home wall jack, please test with the included “Wall Jack
Tester”.
WALL JACK TESTER (PSTN Line Tester)
The wall jack tester will verify if the wall phone jack is powered by existing or previous landline phone
service.
IMPORTANT NOTE
DO NOT CONNECT YOUR TERMINAL TO A WALL JACK IF PSTN LINE IS STILL IN SERVICE.
Connecting the terminal to the live wall jack may interfere with the existing phone service
and damage the terminal.
1. Plug the tester into the wall jack.
2. If tester’s Green colored LED illuminates (ON), your PSTN line is still active and powered. In this
case, contact your existing or previous landline phone service provider to disconnect the phone
service and power.
NOTE: Alternately, 2-line cross adapter may be used to bypass the powered first phone line. Please
.see next section, using 2-line cross adapter.
3. If Green colored LED does not illuminate, the wall phone jack is not powered and you can safely
connect your terminal to wall jack.
[LED OFF – line is safe to use]

8

RJ-11 CROSS ADAPTOR (Line1toLine2BypassAdapter)
If the first line of the phone line is live and has power, you may still be able to use the terminal through
your home phone wiring by using the RJ-11 cross adapter. Line 1 uses the middle two pins on the RJ-
11 cable. Line 2 uses the outer two pins on the RJ-11 connector.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Some house wirings may only have line 1. Some houses may have both line 1 and line 2
wires live. In such cases, please do not connect the terminal to your house wall jack.
Instead, please consider using multi-handset cordless phone. Connect the base of the
cordless phone directly to the terminal using RJ-11 cable.
1. Before connecting the terminal, test the line 2 in your house by plugging the cross adapter into the
wall jack. Then plug the Wall Jack Tester into the back of the cross adapter. If the LED is lit, line
2 is also live.
2. If the line 2 is not live, connect one of the cross connector between the terminal and wall-jack. This
will convert the terminal output to line 2 of the in-wall wiring.
3. Connect another cross connector between another wall jack and corded/cordless phone in another
room. Check if there is dial tone or busy tone on the line.
4. If no tone is heard, please check if the terminal is turned on properly. If the problem persists, it
may be possible that the home wiring line 2 is not available.
NOTE: The default packaging may or may not include the cross adaptors. Cross adapter may be
called a “2-Line Splitter” and should be readily available at local electronic or office supply
stores.

9
A-GPSforE911
Your terminal supports an A-GPS feature to meet a FCC 911 mandate, which makes the location of
the terminal available to 911 operators in the case of emergency situations. During the emergency call,
all the LEDs on the terminal will blink and your location can then be determined by the 911 operator. In
order to increase the location accuracy, the external GPS antenna must be connected to the terminal
and positioned at a location that can receive satellite signals, such as outside the home or building or
near a window without obstructions to the sky.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The accuracy of the A-GPS location will significantly degrade if the A-GPS antenna is not
connected to properly or located indoor or at a place with obstruction to the sky. In such
cases, the emergency dispatcher will not be able to accurately locate your position. The A-
GPS signal and location accuracy can be dependent on many factors and cannot be
guaranteed.
1. Connect the A-GPS antenna to the SMA
connector on the terminal.
2. Place the Magnetic Pad at a location that
has no obstruction to the sky, such as
outdoors or near a window.
3. Put the A-GPS antenna on the magnetic pad
and position the antenna to face outside.

10

WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION
1. Mark two mounting hole locations on a wall to match the screw holes on the back of the terminal.
2. Drill two holes and put screws at the marked locations.
3. Tighten the screws until the head is about 5mm from the wall.
4. Plug in the AC power connector and route the power cord in the groove, if needed. Connect
antenna.
5. Hang the terminal on the screws using the two holes on the back.
6. Push the terminal down until the unit is firmly locked into place.
