Setup RUIM Card Installation (RUIM Model Only) Consult your service provider to determine if your unit requires the use of a RUIM (Removable User Identity Module) card. If it is a RUIM model, your SX5T will only be able to make emergency calls until you install a RUIM card. It will not receive calls or allow non-emergency outgoing calls without the RUIM card installed. 1. Remove the power supply if it has already been connected.
Connecting an SX5T Model With a Power Supply Your SX5T has either a Power Supply (part #74007301) or a Battery Backup Unit (BBU; part #74006803). If your unit uses a Power Supply, please follow the instructions below to connect the SX5T to your AC power. If it uses a BBU, please see “Connecting an SX5T Model With a BBU” on page 4. To connect an SX5T model with a Power Supply: 1. Connect the barrel connector of the power supply to the AC power input receptacle of the SX5T - see Figure 3. 2.
Emergency Batteries If your SX5T has a Power Supply, you may install emergency batteries to power the device in the event of a power outage. Do not install emergency batteries if your SX5T has a BBU. The SX5T will not automatically switch to battery if AC power fails; you must flip the AC/Battery switch to battery operation - see Figure 5. To install emergency batteries: 1. Remove the battery access door screw located on the bottom of the unit - see Figure 4. 2.
Connecting an SX5T Model With a BBU (Backup Battery Unit) Your SX5T has either a Power Supply (part #74007301) or a Battery Backup Unit (BBU; part #74006803). If your model has a BBU, it is shipped with the battery disconnected to prevent if from being prematurely drained. The BBU must not be connected to a SX5T or to AC power when you connect or replace the battery. Connecting the wrong wires to the battery terminals may cause severe damage to the device. To connect an SX5T model with a BBU: 1.
SX5T Location and Installation The SX5T comes with a standard spike antenna (TNC) - see Figure 7. For optimal signal strength, choose a location that is above ground and as close to windows (or exterior walls) as possible - see Figure 8.
