Introduction
Welcome to the GSM Wireless Receiver Platform. This unique wireless terminal will allow you to replace
your land line, add an additional line to your home or office, or to install phone service in areas where
regular phone service is not available. All that is required is a power outlet and GSM cellular service.
This wireless, cellular terminal will power two standard telephone sets and will allow you to make and
receive cellular calls directly from those telephone sets. You will have top quality voice and audio
transmission while taking full advantage of your cellular service.
Functions available with cellular service will be available with this unit. However, your standard telephone
set must also support those functions.
Packing List
After you open the box, please check all components as shown below. If anything is missing or damaged,
please contact your dealer immediately.
Wireless Terminal Antenna & Battery
Power Adapter User Manual

Installation
CAUTION…Be certain that the power is not turned on while assembling the unit.
Antenna…
Screw the 12” ‘leptospira’ antenna into the antenna base (includes cable). Install the mobile antenna and
cable by connecting the cable end to the SMA connector on the back of the FWT.
NOTE…any quality 50 ohm antenna system may be used as an external antenna. If a larger, outdoor
antenna is used we strongly recommend the use of a lightening arrester.
Power…
Insert the power adapter plug into the connector on the back of the FWT terminal (DO NOT connect to a
power source at this time)
SIM Card Installation…
SIM Card Slot Open SIM Card Slot Closed
CAUTION…Never insert or remove the SIM card while the power is connected. Always turn the terminal
off and unplug the adapter from the power source.
Open the SIM card cavity by removing the cover on the bottom of the FWT case. This is the small door on
the right side of the terminal (with terminal back facing you) showing the image of a SIM card. To open
the cover, carefully push the small tab away from you then lift the tab to remove the cover. The SIM card
slot is on the green circuit board below. Move the cardholder to the left and lift. The SIM card should be
inserted with the gold pattern facing right and the small notch in the upper right corner. Carefully close the
cardholder and slide the holder to the right to lock it into place.
Replace the SIM card cover.
(3)

SIM Card Care…The SIM Card may be inserted/removed from its holder only after power has been
disconnected. Avoid touching the gold pattern and keep away from any source of magnetism. Do not let it
come in contact with metal. Damaged SIM cards must be replaced before starting up the GSM terminal.
Rechargeable Battery Pack
Battery
Open the battery cover on the bottom of the terminal. This is the large cover on the left side of the terminal
(with the terminal back facing you). Carefully push the tab away from you and lift the cover.
Connect/disconnect the small cable to the white connector inside the battery well. If inserting the battery
pack, be certain that the cable is placed into the well so that it will not interfere with the replacement of the
battery cover.
Replace the cover by inserting the lower edge of the cover into place then lower the upper portion of the
cover until it is secure.
Your battery pack will recharge while the FWT is connected to a power source. During periods of a power
outage, the battery pack will allow a standby time of up to four hours, and a talk time of up to 1 hour...
Actual time may vary and will depend upon the amount of charge in the battery, the age of the battery,
personal calling habits, and the strength of your signal.
Caution…Always be certain that the power switch is OFF and that the power adapter is removed from the
power source when connecting/disconnecting the battery.
Standard Telephone Set
Telephone Installation
Any standard, wired or cordless telephone set will work with this FWT 335 wireless cellular terminal.
Simply connect the base of the telephone to one of the two ‘RJ11’ jacks on the back of the terminal using a
standard, 4-wire telephone cord. A second extension may be connected to the remaining RJ11 jack if
desired.
Connect the Power
Once all connections have been made and the SIM card and battery pack have been installed, you may now
power the terminal by plugging the power adapter into a 115v/60amp power source. Slide the Power
Switch (terminal back) to the ON position.
Caution Use only the power adapter received with this terminal. Use of a different adapter may void the
warranty.

External Antenna Shown with Optional Lightening Arrester
Signal Enhancement
Cellular signal is difficult to predict. Terrain and foliage between your installation and the cell tower will
cause the cell signal to fluctuate, diminish, or disappear in certain locations. You will want to find the best
signal (sweet spot) for your terminal and make your installation at that location.
If the cellular signal in your area is less than ample, you may wish to install your antenna out of doors. The
cable supplied with the enclosed antenna may be all you need to place the provided antenna in a better
location. Or, you may need to install a larger, external antenna with a coaxial cable lead from your roof to
the terminal.
Signal amplifiers are sometimes necessary to ‘enhance’ (boost) the signal received at the exterior antenna.
By installing an amplifier between the exterior antenna and the terminal, you can increase your cell signal
by as much as 25 dBi (approximately ‘two bars’ on a cell phone signal meter). This can make the
difference between a good phone call and a dropped call. Actual results experienced depend upon the
quality and strength received at the exterior antenna and the distance between the antenna and the amplifier.

Making a Call

1) Lift the telephone receiver or the press button for ‘hands free” operation (speakerphone)
2) Once you hear the dialing tone, dial the desired telephone number
3) You may enter ‘#’ once you finish entering the number. This will indicate the end of the phone
number and the terminal will transmit immediately.
4) If you do not enter ‘#’, the terminal will wait approximately 10 seconds before transmission
begins.
5) You will hear the phone ring or hear a busy signal once the connection has been made.
6) If you have dialed a ‘prohibited number’, you will hear the busy signal (See ‘Settings’)
7) If you receive an ‘automated attendant’, you should be able to enter the necessary keys to perform
the desired operations. There may be some automated attendants that do not respond to your
keystrokes. In this case you must connect to the operator at that location.
Receiving a Call
When the phone (s) ring, take up the receiver, or press the hands free button (speakerphone).
Ending a Call
When the call is ended, place the receiver back into the cradle or press the hands free key once more.
Trouble Shooting
Malfunction Reason/Solution
Power Light is not ON Check power source and battery for proper connection
Be sure that the ON/OFF slide switch is in ON position
Always hear ‘busy’ signal SIM Card is inserted improperly or the slot is not closed
Terminal has not connected with the network
Cannot connect with network Signal is too weak
SIMcardisnotinserted
SIM card is damaged
Signal Indicator is ‘low’ Weak signal…move antenna or change locations
Check antenna connection at the terminal
Check installation of antenna into its base
No Dialing Tone Standard Telephone not connected properly. Re-Connect
Hear Noise and Echo Weak Cellular Signal or location of terminal installation. Echo
during a call is sometimes normal with cellular calls. Hang up and re-dial.
If condition persists, move terminal location or consult with
the service provider.

Functions and Settings
Each function supported by this terminal is confirmed or changed by using the connected, standard
telephone. The GSM wireless terminal ‘signal strength’ lights are used to prompt whether the setting is
correct. If correct, all three LED lights will flash slowly (500 ms on/500 ms off) and will be accompanied
with the dialing tone.
If the setting is wrong, you must hang up then re-try.
