Regulatory Information
This Ripwave MX PC Card (PMX) has been tested with a typical laptop computer with a side loading PCMCIA bay. This PMX must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any antenna (other than the one furnished by Navini and included in the package) or transmitter. Use of this device in any other configuration may exceed the FCC, ETSI, or other regulatory bodies RF Exposure compliance limit.
If this equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user should try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna,
2) Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver,
3) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for additional suggestions.
FCC guidelines stipulate that the antenna should be more than 2.5 cm (1”) from bystanders and 1.2 cm (0.472”) from the user. When in use, the antenna should be pointed vertically upward. When using the Desktop Antenna with the PMX, a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) is required from the user or bystander.
This product conforms with the Australian Standard for Human Exposure to Radiation at a distance of
2.5 cm. Closer contact, such as touching the aerial will result in radiation in excess of safe limits.
SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate, is the measurement for the rate at which electromagnetic energy is absorbed by the human body during exposure. The FCC states the body SAR limit is 1.6 W/kg. The highest reported SAR value for the PMX card is 0.560 W/kg.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Signal Strength & Signal Quality Bars
How to Increase the Strength and Quality of the Signal
Signal Strength and Signal Quality are dynamic bar displays that indicate how well your PMX is receiving signals from the Base Station.
In particular, the Signal Strength bars graphically represent the strength of the synchronization signal your Modem is receiving from a Base Station. The higher the pile of bars goes, the stronger the signal is. The color of the bars also gives an indication of the strength of the signal. Green lines indicate an excellent signal; orange lines indicate a good signal; and red lines indicate a weak signal.
The Signal Quality bar area graphically represents the Signal-to­Noise Ratio (SNR) received by your Modem. Again, the quality of the signal is represented by a group of colored bars. The higher the pile of bars goes, the better the SNR of the signal. The color of the bars also gives an indication of the quality of the signal. Green lines indicate an excellent signal or an SNR greater than 21. Orange lines indicate a good signal or an SNR greater than or equal to 13 but less than or equal to 21. Red lines indicate a weak signal or an SNR less than 13.
To increase the strength and quality of the signal, change the location of the PC in which the PMX is inserted. Try moving it closer to a window, to a higher location, away from other wireless devices (microwave ovens, cordless phones), and away from metal objects (shelves, file cabinets). As you reposition your PC, watch the Signal Strength and Quality bars on the NavDiag screen. Place your PC in the location where you receive the most green signal strength and quality bars.

Optional Desktop Antenna
An optional desktop antenna is available for the PMX. This antenna connects to the PMX and then sits on a surface next to the laptop. This antenna should be used if optimal reception cannot be obtained through the original PMX antenna.
To connect the desktop antenna to the PMX, you must first remove the original antenna attached to the PMX. To remove the antenna, turn the antenna down so that it is lying parallel with the PMX. Grasp the base of the antenna near its connection point and firmly pull the antenna away from the card. Do not grasp the top or middle of the antenna as it may break when you try to pull on the antenna.
Once the original antenna is removed, connect the desktop antenna by inserting its connector into the port on the PMX card.
Insert the other end of the antenna cable into the base unit.
Note: Avoid frequently connecting and disconnecting the desktop antenna from the PMX, as this may cause the connector on the desktop antenna to break.

Care and Maintenance
The PMX is designed to give you years of trouble-free service. To ensure operation, read the following care and maintenance instructions.
Keep the PMX free of dust and moisture. If the PMX gets wet,
use a towel to dry it immediately.
Handle the PMX gently. Dropping it or mishandling it can
cause damage to the metal/plastic shell or the electronic circuitry.
Keep the PMX away from high temperatures. Heat can cause
damage to the metal/plastic shell or the electronic circuitry.
To clean the external areas of the PMX, use only an electrical
contact cleaner that is non-conductible and a soft, damp, lint­free cloth. Do not use any chemicals or abrasives to clean the PMX. Also use caution around the connection pins.
If there is a problem with the PMX, do not attempt to repair it
yourself. Report the problem to your Service Provider.
Do not apply adhesive labels to the PMX. This may cause the
PMX to become jammed inside the card slot.
The PMX should fit easily into the PC slot. Do not force the
PMX into the PC slot. Forcing the PMX into the slot may cause damage to the connector pins.

Upgrading the
There are two different ways to upgrade the software that makes the PMX work.
PMX Software
Your Service Provider may perform an over-the-air (OTA)
upgrade, where the up-to-date software files are transferred wirelessly from a Base Station to your PMX. This method will normally be transparent to you; in other words, you should not experience any noticeable service interruption.
Your Service Provider may provide a downloadable web file or
CD-ROM with software that is installed on your PC and used to upgrade the PMX software. This method is used only if the PMX was not inserted and “on” during the OTA upgrade process. If you must upgrade your software using this method, your Service Provider will give you instructions on what to do. This method takes a minimal amount of time to complete.
Note: If you must upgrade the PMX Driver to the latest driver, Windows will tell you that the current driver is the latest driver. Ignore this message, and force Windows to update the driver.
