Safe and Efficient Use
Note: please read this information before using your VoloAccess.
Save this user manual as it contains important safety information and operating instructions.
●The VoloAccess is intended for indoor use only.
●The VoloAccess must not be connected to telephone cabling that leaves the building.
●Use only the supplied AC adaptor.
●Should it be necessary please return the VoloAccess to your supplier for repair. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
●If the base is used, ensure the main unit is securely located on the base.
Radio Frequency Energy
Your VoloAccess is both a radio transmitter and receiver. When the VoloAccess is turned on, it receives
and transmits RF (Radio Frequency) energy. The system that handles your call when you are using your
VoloAccess controls the power level at which your VoloAccess transmits.
All VoloAccess terminals are designed to operate within the limits for exposure to RF energy set by national
authorities and international health agencies. These limits are verified by SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
measurements; which are usually performed on products that are intended for use at the ear. As the
VoloAccess is not intended to be used close to the human body SAR measurements are not applicable to
the VoloAccess.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from the
effects of RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not, so the RF energy from the VoloAccess
may affect some electronic equipment, therefore:
●Do not use your VoloAccess near medical equipment without requesting permission.
●Do not use your VoloAccess in airplanes.
●Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a VoloAccess close to a pacemaker may cause
the pacemaker to malfunction.
●Some hearing aids might be disturbed if placed very close to the VoloAccess.
Electrical devices connected to the same AC power outlet that is used by the VoloAccess may generate
excessive interference to the VoloAccess.

About the VoloAccess
The VoloAccess Convergent Wireless Terminal is the equivalent of an Internet connection and (on voice
enabled models) a phone line combined. Telephone handsets and computer equipment can be connected
to the VoloAccess in the normal way using standard connectors.
The VoloAccess Convergent Wireless Terminal is a wireless voice and high speed data access point for
use over HSPA or HSPA+ capable UMTS networks. The VoloAccess provides both voice and advanced
wireless services, such as wireless broadband Internet services in areas where conventional telephone
lines either do not exist or are too far from the nearest xDSL enabled exchange. Using the VoloAccess also
offers a convenient and cost effective alternative to wireline connections for voice and high speed data
services, when mobility is important. Standard telephone, SMS and Internet connections are all
simultaneously available.
The VoloAccess enables simultaneous HSPA or HSPA+ data access for multiple users via the Ethernet
ports, or wirelessly using WiFi.
Once the VoloAccess has been connected and powered up, the following services are available:
Voice Services
Voice enabled models of the VoloAccess provide the equivalent of a PSTN or fixed line connection via the
3G mobile network. Just plug in a standard analogue handset, or an answering system with extension
handsets. The VoloAccess is compatible with most phones available on the market today that support tone
dialling. The VoloAccess does not support old devices that are capable of pulse dialling only.
Internet Services
The VoloAccess provides a true broadband solution with HSPA services enabled on the 3G network.
Connect your computer and you will be able to surf the Internet at speeds up to 7.2Mbps for HSPA version
and 21Mbps for HSPA+ version.
SMS Services
The VoloAccess is a 3G mobile device so you can receive and send SMS messages. On your computer
you can create, view and reply to SMS messages in the same way you would with any mobile phone.

Installing the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) correctly describes the identity module used in 3G
mobile devices like the VoloAccess. However, SIM which is the identity module used in 2G mobile
devices is the term in common usage. For simplicity, the term SIM is used throughout this manual.
Before attempting to install the SIM, disconnect the power supply.
The SIM is installed in the side of the VoloAccess as follows:
Remove the side panel (the one without the Indicators on) by slipping a narrow object like a credit
card or a small screwdriver under the edge and gently prise it off to reveal the SIM compartment.
Latch ►
Press the cover latch and remove the cover to
reveal the SIM holder as shown in the next
image.
Gently slide the retainer in the OPEN direction.
(OPEN/LOCK is marked on the retainer)
Turn the retainer over to expose the SIM
slot. (the retainer is hinged)

Slide the SIM into the retainer with the cut
corner positioned as shown.
The contact pads on the SIM should be
facing up ready to engage the connectors
in the base of the holder.
Turn the retainer over and slide in the LOCK
direction to secure the SIM in position.
Complete installing the SIM by:
replacing the SIM compartment cover, and
refitting the side panel.

Setting up the VoloAccess
VoloAccess Location
The signal strength available at the VoloAccess location affects the performance of the unit. The stronger
the signal, the better the VoloAccess performance.
Test several locations by moving the VoloAccess while looking at the Signal Strength indicator. (Wait 10
to 20 seconds after each change of location for the Signal Strength to be measured and displayed –a
flashing indicator represents a weak signal). Select a location where the Signal Strength indicator is on
and solid.
Moving the VoloAccess as little as 5 cm can affect the Signal Strength.
Recommendations:
●Select an indoor location, preferably close to a window and the roof. Generally, you will experience
better Signal Strength in these locations.
●Position the VoloAccess antennas as high as possible for better reception.
●Do not install the VoloAccess in a bathroom, a wet or damp environment or an outdoor location.
●Do not install the VoloAccess in locations or rooms that contain large amounts of metal, steel or wiring.
Locations that contain large amounts of metal inhibit the transmission of Radio Frequency (RF).
●Do not expose the VoloAccess to extreme temperatures (near radiators, cooling vents, etc).
●If you experience poor Signal Strength, an (optional) higher gain antenna may result in improvement.
Mounting Position
The VoloAccess can be mounted in a vertical position by attaching the
supplied base as shown here.
or,
It can be mounted horizontally by removing the side cover (the one without the
indicators) and standing it on the rubber feet. Turn the hinged antennas to the
vertical position.
or,
The VoloAccess can be wall mounted by removing the side cover and
attaching it to (at least two) screws with a maximum head diameter of 7mm.
