User’s Guide for Modem Charging Cradle PS6PMCW 3
Introduction
About the Modem Charging Cradle
The Modem Charging Cradle enables a connection to a remote server
using the GPRS service of the GSM cellular network. Palm Tungsten E2
handheld users can access and transfer critical information as easily as
making a phone call. The cradle communicates via serial transmission
with the Palm handheld. Before it can transfer data over the cellular
network, the cradle will require third party software to be installed on the
handheld.
NOTE
Palm does not support HotSync over a serial connection, thus
HotSync is not a supported application for this device.
Minimum Requirements
The following minimum requirements must be met for the network,
handheld and desktop computer to work together:
• Palm Tungsten E2 or compatible handheld
• Power Adapter
• Modem Charging Cradle
• SIM card with activated data plan
