Introducing the Com.plete PC Card
Introduction
The Com.plete™ PC Card is a unique, state-of-the-art, fully integrated, single
Type III PC Card module for sending and receiving data, fax and voice
communications over the Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) cellular
network as well as over conventional land-based phone network. The cellular
phone and fax/modem are optimally matched and integrated into a single PC
Card which means there is no need to connect the Com.plete PC Card to any
external device, it is a cellular phone. The result is an elimination of the
compatibility problems which usually arise with cable connected cellular phoneto-modem combinations.
Your Com.plete PC Card is enabled to perform both cellular and land-based
voice, data and fax communications using standard communication software
packages. Mode selection is fully automatic. This manual contains important
information about setting up, using, and caring for your Com.plete PC Card. It

TIA Health/Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT !!!
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR CELLULAR Com.plete PC
Card
The cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever
developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency
services, and others.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines.
Your mobile cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is ON,
the externally mounted antenna is the part of the phone that sends out and receives radio
frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 894
MHz and employs commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use
your phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your
phone transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.6 watts.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992 the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry, after reviewing the
available body of research , developed this updated Standard. In March 1993, the U.S.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated
Standard. To operate within this updated ANSI Standard, use your phone as described
under “Efficient Phone Operation”.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 2 cm
(0.8 inches) must be maintained between the user/bystander and the PCMCIA cellular
modem card, including the antenna.
Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately.
Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a
manufacturer-approved antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified
technician.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Non-approved antennas. modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the Card, and violate FCC regulations.
4
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving
• use hands-free operation, if available, and
• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from
cellular telephones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should
also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing
aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your Com.plete PC Card. It is not a toy. Children could
damage the Card, or make calls that increase your telephone bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices
to set off explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
5
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare,
but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include fueling areas such as gas stations; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;
and areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your
vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.
Vehicles using liquid petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the
National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the
National Fire Protection Association, One Battery march Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn:
Publication Sales Division.

Activating your Com.plete PC Card for Cellular service:
Since your Com.plete PC Card contains a cellular phone, the first thing to do
once you have installed the Com.plete PC Card driver and activation software is
activate your card for cellular usage.
The Activation software is designed to be a fast and simple tool to ease you
through this process, but there are a few items to prepare prior to running the
activation software.
• Make sure that the PCMCIA slot is enabled and the card drivers are installed
properly on your computer. These should be installed and pre-configured in
your computer already. If not, consult the documentation provided with your
computer on how to enable the PCMCIA slot.
• Run Windows, if not already running.
• Slide the Com.plete PC Card (front label up) into the PCMCIA slot of your
host computer until it is fully seated.
• Wait for the Card and Socket Services to recognize and initialize the card.
Usually you will get a "beep" and/or a popup window indicating the
successful configuration of your card. If you are not familiar with the
operation of your PCMCIA drivers, please consult the documentation
provided with your computer for additional information.
• On the “Dialer” window’ press the “Func” button.
• Click the “Activate” button on the “functions” window. The activate screen
will pop-up (see figure below).
