Chapter 1 — Getting Started
What is WWAN Communicator?
WWAN Communicator is an application that lets you use your GSM/
GPRS or CDMA/1xRTT radio-equipped 760 Color Mobile Computer
like a cell phone.
To use WWAN Communicator, you need to install a SIM card in your 760
unit. Contact your network operator for more information on obtaining
SIM cards. For help with installing the SIM card, see the 700 Color Mobile
Computer with Windows Mobile 2003 Quick Start Guide (P/N 962-054069C).
WWAN Communicator is based on Intermec’s WWAN Toolkit, which
also includes Communicator source code. For more information, contact
your Intermec sales representative.
Note: Some restrictions may apply in your locality about voice
communications over a CDMA network. For more information, contact
your network operator.

Page 11
Installing and Starting WWAN Communicator
WWAN Communicator is pre-installed on the 760 Color Mobile
Computer. If you have a 760 that does not include Communicator, you can
download it as a Zip file from the Intermec web site. Choose Service and
Support > Developer Support > Developer Library.
Note: If your 760 is running Pocket PC 2002, you need to install the
Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework 1.0 (Service Pack 2) components on
the 760 before you install Communicator. To download the components,
go to www.microsoft.com/downloads and search for “compact framework.”
When you install Communicator, the installer program checks the amount
of available space in the Flash File Store on the 760. If there is not enough
space to install Communicator in the Flash File Store, the installer will
place Communicator on an installed Secure Digital (SD) or CompactFlash
(CF) card.
If no card is found, the installer will place Communicator in the root
directory. In this case, you will need to reinstall Communicator if you cold
boot the 760.
Chapter 1 — Getting Started
Installing Communicator
1 Unzip the Communicator Zip file to a directory on your desktop PC.
2 Copy the contents of the Zip file to the Temp directory on the 760.

appears.

About the Call Register Entries
By default, each register holds up to 50 entries. When a register is full, the
oldest entries are automatically deleted as new entries are added.
You can change the available number of entries for the call registers.
Although each register can hold up to 1000 entries, Intermec recommends
that you use the default values, since larger registers may degrade
Communicator performance.

Chapter 5 — Connecting to the Internet
About Connection Types
You can use WWAN Communicator to connect to the Internet and
automatically launch Pocket Internet Explorer.
Communicator includes a database of publicly defined connections. When
you start the application, Communicator looks for a publicly defined
connection for your network operator and makes this the default
connection.
If Communicator cannot locate a publicly defined connection for your
network operator, you need to create your own connection file before
connecting to the Internet for the first time. For help, see “Setting up a
Default Internet Connection for the First Time” on page 35.
The connection type you need to set up depends on the kind of service
your network operator provides. Consult your network operator to learn
what type of connection you should choose.
A CSD (Circuit Switched Data) connection is the typical form of data
transmission through circuit switching, like a dialup modem. As with voice
calls, network charges are based on the time spent in the connection.
In a PSD (Packet Switched Data) connection, information is split into
packets before transmission and reassembled at the receiving end. Radio
resources are used only when users are sending or receiving data, and thus
PSD connections typically occupy less bandwidth than CSD connections.
Users are charged for the amount of data sent and received.
For help with choosing and setting up a default Internet connection for the
first time, see the next section.
