Description The C3 Cellular Communications Center is a wireless cellular communicator that allows phone calls to be made over the GSM cellular network using the existing telephones in your home. The C3 can be used when there is no landline in your home or the landline is temporarily unavailable. Use with security systems… The C3 allows any existing security panel to communicate alarm conditions using the GSM cellular network.
Everyday use… When the C3 is connected to the GSM cellular network, attached telephones can be used to make calls. If a landline is present, you will hear the normal dial tone and you can make your call as normal using the landline service. However, if the landline is currently unavailable, you will hear a different tone which indicates the C3 is in cellular mode and the call will be made using the cellular network.
