Transmitter Type : HHV20020606 1. Overview This phone will enable a user to place a call to the Emergency Response Center (ERC) in order to report an emergency condition, automatically provide global positioning, and dispatch to the user's location with minimal effort to the user. Upon activation, the terminal device will place the call via the local cellular system to the emergency reporting center utilizing pre-programmed, stored area code, NNX, and number. Once the call is completed to the emergency center, the terminal device will then automatically provide latitude and longitude positioning through GPS(Global Positioning System) via the selected cellular traffic channel. Once the latitude and longitude data is sent/received, the ERC will have the option to open up the cellular traffic channel for voice use via a speakerphone arrangement in the terminal device allowing the user to converse with personnel at the ERC. 1.1.

- Power down mode
- Emergency call mode
- Self test mode Power down Emergency call Self test The following describes each mode;
2.1. Power Down Mode In this mode, all the circuits in the phone are being off to save battery. And this is also the mode where CALL
(Emergency Call) button or TEST button are waiting for being pushed. 2.2. Emergency Call Mode 2.2.1. Initiating a Call The unit does not have a conventional cellular keypad Rather, it has a large "Emergency call button" design in order to simplify its use. When the phone is in Power down mode, holding CALL button for 1 second will initiate an emergency calling process. 2.2.2. Establishing Position The unit incorporates a built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The GPS receiver is used to establish the position of the user (in latitude and longitude format). After obtained the location, the unit will place a call to the Emergency Response Center (ERC) utilizing a pre-programmed, stored area code, NNX, and number via the local cellular telephone company. When the phone initiates an Emergency call, the IN USE LED will be flashing the call in progress and till communication established. If the call cannot be completed via the preferred system (A or B) the unit will automatically try the other system (A or B). Once an emergency call is established to the Emergency Response Center (ERC) and the users identification (ESN, MIN) has been sent (utilizing DTMF tones as the encoding/signaling medium) to the ERC (utilizing DTMF tones as the encoding/signaling medium) enabling the ERC personnel to determine the users identity. The location information is then sent to the ERC and then dispatch appropriate response teams. At no time will the GPS receiver and the AMPS transmitter operate simultaneously. TG100 PAGE 7 OF 11 Applicant : Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd. Transmitter Type : HHV20020606 Retry sequence is as follows:
1) ERC-1 Access (Preferred system)
| Fail 2) ERC-1 Access (Non-Preferred system)
| Fail 3) ERC-2 Access (Preferred system)
| Fail 4) ERC-2 Access (Non-Preferred system)
| Fail 5) 911 Access (Preferred system)
| Fail 6) 911 Access (Non-Preferred system)
| Fail will go to 1) 2.2.3. Voice Conversation The unit incorporates a built-in speakerphone arrangement. A speakerphone arrangement is preferred for this service in order to provide a viable means of voice communication between a user and ERC personnel. During an emergency, the user may be incapacitated or fallen and the unit may be on the ground or floor. A speakerphone would, at least enable the ERC personnel to be able to listen to the user or their surroundings. In addition, the user would have the ability to converse with the ERC personnel without having the device up to their ear. The speakerphone would be optionally switched in to the cellular traffic channel by the ERC immediately after the ESN, MIN and latitude/longitude information was sent and acknowledged. 2.2.3. Emergency Response Center (ERC) The Emergency Response Center (ERC) consists of emergency call response personnel and links to local emergency response institutions (e.g. Police, Fire, Hospital, Ambulance, etc.). Once a user emergency button has been pressed on the unit, the ERC will be contacted via the cellular network. The transmitted data from the unit will include the raw GPS data, the unit electronic serial number (ESN), and the unit mobile identification number (MIN). The ERC system will then convert the raw GPS data (latitude/longitude) to a location and user information will be mapped on the dispatch console of the ERC. After the GPS data is received from the unit, the unit and ERC will then optionally be linked via the cellular traffic channel for two-way voice communication. This will be via a speakerphone arrangement incorporated in the unit. TG100 PAGE 8 OF 11 Applicant : Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd. Transmitter Type : HHV20020606 2.3. Self Test Mode When the unit is in Power Down mode, press and hold TEST button for one second. Then, the PHONE starts Self-Test for the following two items (GPS Module, AMPS RSSI). 2.3.1. Indication by using TEST LED (Flashing/Solid) 2.3.1.1. GPS Module Test This test checks whether receive circuit of GPS module operates properly and checks whether Communication between MAIN CPU and GPS module is made properly. If an error is detected, the status becomes flashing TEST LED(Orange). 2.3.1.2. AMPS RSSI Test This test is to check whether RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is at a reasonable level and check whether it is possible to detect Control Channel so that Phone can become SERVICE status. If the status remains No Service and cannot become SERVICE status, TEST LED (Orange) becomes flashing. When the communication with GPS module is normal and that PHONE was able to become SERVICE status, TEST LED (Orange) becomes SOLID. It takes about 8 to 10 seconds to complete these two tests TG100 PAGE 9 OF 11 Applicant : Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd. Transmitter Type : HHV20020606 3. General Specifications AMPS:
