Emergency Calls
This terminal operates using GSM signals, which cannot guarantee connection
in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely
on the terminal equipment for essential communications such as medical or
emergency services.
If the mains plug is removed from the power socket the unit will switch to an
internal battery supply. As there will not be an Earth connection, the output
voltage to the telephone line will automatically be reduced. This is to comply
with the European Low Voltage Directive. This may result in miss-operation
when using in some types of telephone. This condition also applies for mains
failure.
No responsibility is assumed by TFM for the use or reliability of the CellRoute-
GSM when used in a situation or with other equipment not supplied or
specified by TFM.
TelecomFM shall accept no liability for any error or damages of any kind
resulting from the use of this document or the equipment it relates to.
The wording in this document may change from time to time. Please refer to
the TelecomFM web site WWW.telecomfm.co.uk for the latest release.

Getting Started
Location Of Cell Route
For best reception locate your CellRoute-GSM close to a window or
on an external wall within a minimum of 330mm from any metallic
object. The unit must be a minimum of 1 meter from any other sensitive
electronic equipment.
DO NOT locate in direct sun light or near any direct heat source.
Mounting the CellRoute-GSM and Power Supply
Bracket
Using the template provided, mark
location and fix with screws supplied.
Mount the Power Supply bracket within 1
meter from the CellRoute-GSM.

Getting Started
Powering Up CellRoute-GSM
Note: The cellRoute-GSM unit must be connected to the mains power
and allowed to charge for a minimum of 30 minutes before use.
On power up the RED and GREEN LEDs will flash 5 times.
The Green LED will come on and remains on. The RED LED will light up for
approximately 10 seconds and then go out for approximately 10 seconds. Once
the unit has logged onto the GSM Network the Red LED will come back on.
Making a test call
Make a test call with the phone connected to the CellRoute-GSM. On
completion of dialled digits you will hear a confidence tone indicating the call is
successful. (Pressing the # key after the dialled digits results in a faster dial-
up.)
The RED LED will start to flash when the handset is lifted on the telephone-
indicating signal Strength. Once the call is connected the RED LED will flash for
45 seconds indicating signal strength then stop leaving both RED and Green
LED lit.
Number of flashes Status Signal strength (in dB)
0 None/Poor <-81dB
1 Average >-81dB & <-67dB
2 Good >-67dB & <-59dB
3 V- Good >-59dB
It is possible to Set Incoming & Outgoing volumes on CellRoute
Outgoing volume adjustment on microphone
To adjust the microphone level
•Lift the receiver
•Dial 0##6
•Dial 1 to 5 followed by # (1 sets lowest volume, 5 sets highest volume)
You will hear an acceptance tone once the digit has been dialled.
Incoming volume adjustment on speaker
To adjust the Speaker level
•Lift the receiver
•Dial 0##3
•Dial 1 to 5 followed by # (1 sets lowest volume, 5 sets highest volume)
You will hear an acceptance tone once the digit has been dialled.

CELL ROUTE-GSM
Getting Started
Answering Incoming calls
Lift handset and call is connected.
Missed Call
If both L.E.Ds are flashing simultaneously, this is identifying a missed call.
Switching Off the CellRoute
When switching off the CellRoute-GSM you must first unplug the power cord
from the CellRoute-GSM itself, otherwise this will activate Battery back-up.
Battery Backup
In the event of mains failure the CellRoute-GSM’s battery backup will
automatically activate, giving a standby time of approximately 12 hours and a
talk time of 2 hours (these figures are subject to humidity and temperature).
During a power failure when battery back-up is in use, you may experience a
delay of up to 4 seconds before dial tone is heard.
Network Lock
The CellRoute-GSM has a network lock feature. This is a network security
function. (For further details please contact your service provider)
SIM PIN Lock
The CellRoute-GSM has a SIM card PIN lock feature. This is a SIM card security
function. (For further details please contact your service provider)
Confidence Tone
It is possible to turn confidence Tone ON or OFF
Confidence Tone ON dial 0##561#
Confidence Tone OFF dial 0##560#
You will hear an acceptance tone once the digits have been dialled.
Ringing Cadence
It is possible to adjust the ringing cadence for incoming calls to cell route
To change dial 0##8 (1 – 4)
1=USA, 2=UK, 3=SPAIN, 4=ETR
You will hear an acceptance tone once the digits have been dialled.

Troubleshooting
•First Things to Check If No Operation
1. Check that Power is connected.
2. Check that SIM card is installed correctly.
3. Check that the telephone is connected correctly.
•LED Status
1. If NO LED’s are lit.
• Check for mains power
2. If RED LED is flashing with high pitch Interrupted Tone when
handset lifted check the following:
• No SIM connected
• SIM has a PIN set and this is not recognised in Cellroute memory
• SIM has been swapped with a SIM that has a PIN set which is not
Recognised in Cellroute memory
• Network lock is set to on, with incorrect network SIM connected
3. If NO RED LED with low pitch Interrupted Tone when handset
lifted.
• Cannot detect a network signal. (See Reception is poor)
4. If RED LED flashing at 100ms on / off.
• CellRoute is networked locked and does not recognise the networked
SIM Installed (GPRS unit Only)
5. RED & GREEN LEDs flash 5 times.
• CellRoute is Initialising.
6. RED & GREEN LEDs flashing on / off at the same rate.
• Missed call Indicator.
7. RED & GREEN flashing alternately at the same rate.
• CellRoute in data mode operation.
•Dial Tone Is Not Heard
1. Check that Power is connected.
2. Are batteries charged (Min 30 minutes before use)
3. Check L.E.D status. (Both battery and signal strength LED should
be lit).
4. Check SIM lock is deactivated.
5. Check that the telephone connected is working correctly.
6. During a power failure when battery back-up is in use, you may
experience a delay of up to 4 seconds before dial tone is heard.

Troubleshooting
•Noise Is Heard during a Call
This maybe due to poor signal strength or the unsuitable location of
the CellRoute-GSM. It is recommended that CellRoute-GSM is
positioned a minimum of 1 meter away from other telephones and
other electronic devices.
•Reception is Poor
The CellRoute-GSM comes with a built in antenna. However If you
are experiencing problems with poor reception, check that you are
getting adequate signal strength. This can be achieved by moving the
CellRoute-GSM to another location, for examples move closer to a
window or higher up in the building.
In some locations your Coverage area may require a higher gain
external antenna for optimal Call clarity and performance. An external
3Db antenna is supplied with the unit.(see Connecting external
Antenna)
Contact your service provider for advice on other types of external high
gain antenna that can be connected to CellRoute-GSM.
