1. Overview
Page 1 Page 2
The UTStarcom F3000 Handheld is a wireless Voice over IP
(VoIP) telephone that, when coupled with VoIP phone service,
combines the benefits of Internet telephone service, with
mobility. This guide covers how to configure and use your F3000
to make VoIP phone calls via the service network. You can make
and receive calls as long as you are within range of a wireless
access point. See the F3000 User Manual for more information
on all features.
Note: Before using your F3000 handheld, you should have high-speed
Internet access, a wireless router, and a voice account set up.
When the battery power is low and needs recharging, the battery
indicator will flash continuously, and the phone will sound a
low battery alarm, reminding you that the battery is running low
and the phone will be switched off automatically. To charge the
battery, follow the steps below:
1. Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet (100 - 240V).
2. Connect the lead from the charger to the charging socket of
the phone. The battery indicator bar starts to scroll ( a
a a ). If the phone is off, the text "Charging..."
is also displayed on the LCD screen.
3. When the battery indicator bar stops scrolling, charging is
complete. The text "Fully Charged!" is also displayed on the
LCD screen, if the phone is off.
Note: The phone takes about 3-4 hours to charge and the exact time may
vary depending on the circumstances.

Your F3000 WiFi phone has been preconfigured to provide VoIP
phone service via any available open wireless Access Point (AP)
connected to the Internet. If you want to use a specific AP or
your AP is protected by encrypted access, refer to Section 3.2.
When you turn on the F3000, it searches for available APs,
selects the AP with the best signal and attempts to connect
to it. You will see the message "Connecting to APname"
while the phone is attempting to connect.
Note: If there are new configuration and software updates available,
when the F3000 has successfully connected to an AP, it will need to
be provisioned. Please refer to Section 4.
Note: If the WiFi phone cannot connect to an AP, it will keep
searching and wear down your battery. Verify open AP availability. If
not found, turn off the phone until you are within range of an Access
Point.
Once connected (and provisioned
when necessary), you will see the
message "Registering via APname".
When the right soft key function
displaying Names in standby mode,
you are ready to make and receive
calls.
Before connecting to a protected or specific AP, you must
define it to the F3000. You can define a maximum of four
APs. Typically you would define frequently used APs such
as that of your home router. Defined APs can be open
(available for use by anyone) or protected (available for use
by authorized users only).
Protected APs require use of an encryption code for
access. The F3000 supports WEP and WPA-PSK
encryption codes. If your home wireless router was installed
with a WEP or WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key), use it when
defining the SSID to your F3000. If you are defining a
corporate AP, obtain the WEP or WPA-PSK from the AP
administrator.
Once APs are saved, the F3000 first tries to connect to one
of the defined APs and if none are available, it looks for an
open AP to use for your call.
You will see the message "Connecting to APname" while
the phone is attempting to connect.
Note: If there are new configuration and software updates available,
when the F3000 has successfully connected to an AP, it will need to
be provisioned. Please refer to Section 4.

4. Auto-Provisioning of F3000 WiFi
Phone
If there are new configuration and software updates available,
once the phone has connected to the Internet successfully via
the Access Point, the F3000 will need to be provisioned with the
latest configuration and software. This process is automatic and
will take several minutes to complete. During this time, several
status messages such as downloading, decompressing will be
displayed on the phone's display. Once complete, the phone will
reboot.
After auto-provisioning, the phone will use the same process as
previously described for connecting to Access Points.

5. Troubleshooting5. Troubleshooting
These are the most common problems and solutions that come
up when starting to use the F3000 WiFi phone. If you are having
trouble placing a phone call, go through this checklist until your
problem is solved:
I cannot make a phone call:
- Is the phone connected to an AP and registered with the
service network?
If so, you will see the right soft key function displaying

and press .
If the phone hasn't connected to an AP, refer to Section 3.1
("Connecting to Open Access Points") and Section 3.2
("Connecting to Protected or Specific Access Points") for
advice.
If the phone has connected to an AP, but hasn't registered
with the service Network, the following message will appear
"No Service Try Another AP". This may indicate connection
to an AP for which there is no Internet, or possibly an AP that
has filtering. Try connecting to another AP.
- Is there sufficient signal strength? Check the Signal Bars in
the top left corner of the display. Move closer to AP for better
signal strength.
The phone cannot be switched on:
- Press and make sure you hold it down for more than 2
seconds.
