Battery Operation
The unit will not automatically switch from AC to battery upon loss of AC power. The AC/Battery
switch must be changed manually to the battery position - see Figure 5. Battery power will pro-
vide up to 4 hours of talk time and 11 hours of standby.
Location and Setup
The SX5 comes with a standard spike antenna (TNC).
1. Attach and finger-tighten the antenna - see Figure 6. Do not over-tighten the antenna.
2. Select a location that is above ground and as close to windows (or exterior walls) as possible
to get the best signal - see Figure 7.

GPS Antenna Mounting (USA Only)
To satisfy the FCC's Enhanced 911 (E-911) Phase II mandate, SX5 phones distributed in the USA
include a GPS antenna with a mounting bracket and suction cups. The GPS antenna uses satellite
technology during emergency calls to automatically report your location to a 911 dispatcher within
50-100 meters in most cases. For this feature to function, you must properly mount the GPS antenna on
a window as described below in addition to the standard antenna used for cellular system operation.
1 Mount the bracket on a window with good line of sight (no obstructions to the sky) using the
suction cups. A small amount of water or petroleum jelly applied to the window surface of the
suction cups will improve their long-term adhesion to the window. - see Figure 7.
2 Place the antenna on the topside center of the bracket. The bracket is tilted to aim the
antenna out the window and toward the sky.
3 Connect the antenna to the GPS Connector on on the rear panel of the SX5 - see Figure 7.
