About the iDEN Network
The iDEN network features enhanced technology that was created by Motorola a nd is deployed by Nextel. With
the iDEN network, the capabilities of mobile radio technology combine with the functionality of two-way radio,
telephone, text messaging, and data transmission protocol into one streamlined network.
You need to have an account with Nextel in order to access the iDEN network, as well as use either the im240
Wireless Modem or another Nextel mobile device. You will get a SIM card with your im240 Wireless Modem and
with other Nextel mobile devices. The SIM card contains account information and must be inserted into the
appropriate Nextel device anytime you use it.
Before you can use the im240 Wireless Modem, you will need to install the Nextel Connection Manager, as well
as ensure that your im240 Wireless Modem is configured to use with your account. Instructions on completing
these steps are provided in the chapters that follow. Once you install the Nextel Connection Manager and
configure the im240 Wireless Modem, you may access the Internet.
About Nextel’s Wi Fi Network
Nextel has a collection of several thousand WiFi HotSpots available throughout the United States. A Nextel WiFi
customer can go to any of these locations, and use the Nextel Connection Manager software to login, without
having to pay a fee for each use. To find a Nextel WiFi HotSpot near you, please refer to the HotSpot Locator
section in Chapter Nine: Settings.
About Profiles and Connections
The Nextel Connection Manager’s Profile utility allows you add, modify or delete profiles, as well as define the
current active profile. A profile is a list of possible network connections that you designate the Nextel Connection
Manager to access, in order of preference. For instance, you may designate a profile that allows the Nextel
Connection Manager to search for Nextel WiFi connections first, and non-Nextel WiFi connections second.
It may be useful to have a number of profiles from which to select, depending on your location and network
availability. Once the correct profile is active, it enables the quickest available connection, since the software
avoids unnecessarily scanning for networks that are not available. After installing Nextel Connection Manager
you will have one profile already pre-defined. This will give you quick and easy access to the Nextel network. In
order to use a non-Nextel WiFi network (such as your home or work network), you will need to add more
connections, which you will later add to your profile.
For more information on how to add or modify profiles and connections, please refer to the Configuration section
of Chapter Nine: Settings.

Chapter Seven: Data Connectivity
This chapter discusses the different types of data connectivity available with the Nextel Connection Manager.
Packet Data Connection
Packet data allows you to access the Internet, send and receive e-mail, and transfer files over the packet data
network, using standard IP applications. Packet data transmits packets (blocks) of data at high speeds. The data
is sent over the Nextel Wireless Network. Packet data compresses your files, which cuts down on the amount of
time it takes to send e-mails and load Internet pages. A Nextel packet-data connection is pre-configured in the
Nextel Connection Manager software.
Connecting via Packet Data
You can run any standard TCP/IP application during a packet data session. Please note that during an active
packet data session, any software configured for use with other service providers may need to be reconfigured for
use with your own service provider.
When connecting over the Nextel network, the Nextel Connection Manager software is configured to use a
compression client, included in the software package. The compression software will increase the usability of
your connection by compressing pictures and other large files. It will also increase the download speed. For
more information on how to configure the compression client, please refer to he Configuration section of Chapter
Nine: Settings.
WiFi Connection
A WiFi connection allows you to access the Internet, send and receive e-mail, and transfer files over the pa cket
data network, using standard IP applications. A Nextel WiFi connection is pre-configured in the Nextel
Connection Manager software. The WiFi connection works at speeds higher than those available with packet
data connection. Data transmitted over the Nextel WiFi network is not compressed.
You can scan for existing WiFi networks using the WiFi Scanner. To search for the nearest Nextel WiFi HotSpot,
please use the HotSpot locator. For more information on using the WiFi Scanner and the HotSpot locator, please
refer to the HotSpot Locator section of Chapter Nine: Settings.

Circuit Data Connection
Circuit data provides a dedicated connection for transmitting data. The connection is maintained until broken by
one of the connected parties. You can use the im240 Wireless Modem to connect to either the Internet or to a
corporate server using a PPP or Dial-up network connection (circuit data). Circuit data allows you to send and
receive data over the circuit-switched cellular channel just as you would use a standard telephone network.
The compression icon
usually green, however it turns red when the connection is using circuit data.
Connecting via Circuit Data
To use the im240 Wireless Modem to transmit circuit data, contact your ISP or IT department for specific
instructions on setting up a modem to access their server. You will need to obtain the phone number of the ISP
or corporate server, as well as your network username and password.

changed:
• LAN – no specific settings.
• Nextel WiFi –By default if a Nextel WiFi network is present, you will see a WiFi signal. Clicking Connect
will prompt you to enter your MyNextel.com member name and password for access.
• Nextel – Contains pre-configured details for connecting over iDEN packet data. If you have coverage and
have either an im240 or a Nextel phone connected, you will see a Nextel signal.
• CircuitData – Contains Pre-configured settings for connecting over iDEN circuit data network. If you have
coverage the connection will be automatic.
If you click the Connect button when using the default Nextel profile, the software will first attempt to connect you
to a LAN connection, then to a Nextel WiFi HotSpot (if available), and finally to the Nextel wireless network (if
available).

Applications
Third-party applications may be launched by Nextel Connection Manager, e.g. on connection establishment.
There are several Application Types supported, which are listed below. This chapter describes all Application
Types and their parameters. When defining an Application's properties you need to define the following:
Name - a descriptive name for the Application, which is used by the system for display purposes.
Type - Select from:
• Custom Application
• Internet Browser
• Compression Client
Depending on the Type selected, there may be additional parameters to be set. These parameters are discussed
in this chapter.
Note: In some cases a generic application type, rather than a specific application is selected, e . g. an Internet
browser rather than Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape or other. This occurs when a default browser is already
defined on your system, and Nextel Connection Manager reads the system configuration files to automatically
determine the specific application.
Any user-defined application will appear under the application part of the user interface.
Custom Application
1 Choose this to start an application of any type, other than those predefined.
2 Custom application parameters:
A. Use the Application path field to browse and select the application's startup file, (usually *.exe).
B. Use the Application parameters field to list any Command line parameters needed for the appli cation
(optional).
C. The option Stop at disconnect can be used for applications that can be closed by command line
parameters. If selected, supply the path to the stop application executable and its parameters, as
applicable.

Internet Browser
Choose this application type to start the Internet browser upon connection establishment. The system’s default
Internet browser is selected by Nextel Connection Manager. It is possible to specify a default website address
in the URL field causing the browser to start this URL on connection rather than the browser's usual Home Page.
Compression software
Nextel offers an optimization service for iDEN packet data connections. This service is a client/server solution
that accelerates the effective speed of connections by using compression and optimization of various protocols.
The Compression Level drop down box allows the user to specify the level of compression to be applied for the
session. Note that the chosen setting will impact the quality of data or applications run over the connection (, i.e.
if the compression level is set to high, then the quality of animations, images, etc. will decrease).
The Block media type options allow various media types to be blocked completely during the connection. For
example, if any audio files are blocked, then no audio files in any format may be transferred while exploring a
website on the Internet. The selection is optional, and any combination of media type (Animation, Audio, Applet, Images and Video) may be chosen.
Proxy Server
Address: The IP address or Host name of the Speed proxy server. This field is mandatory (normally pre-set).
Please do not change this field.
Port: The Port number of the compression software server. This field is mandatory (normally pre-set). Please do
not change this field.

Customer’s bills or to extend payment. Nextel may, at any time, determine that Customer’s Deposit is insufficient and, upon notice to
Customer, require an increase in the Deposit to the extent permitted by law. In this event, Customer must either furnish the increased
Deposit to Nextel within a reasonable time of its receipt of notice or terminate the Agreement during this period without incurring any
liability for early termination. If Customer does not furnish Nextel with the increased Deposit amount or terminate the Agreement and pay
to Nextel all amounts Customer owes to Nextel in a timely manner, Nextel may terminate the Agreement and Customer shall be liable to
Nextel for early termination in accordance with Section 7 below. Nextel will apply the Deposit against any amount owed to Next
end of the first billing cycle following the date that is one year from when Nextel received the deposit (“Application Date”), or, if earlier,
upon termination of the Agreement or such other time as required by law. Nextel will return the Deposit (or any remaining balance) to
Customer within ninety (90) days (or such shorter period as may be required by law) after termination of the Agreement. After the

Application Date and upon Customer’s request, Nextel will return to Customer within thirty (30) days of such request any balance
remaining on the Deposit. Deposits will be returned to Customer, in whole or in part, at Customer’s last known address. If required by law,
Nextel will forward to appropriate state authorities any remaining balance that the postal service is unable to deliver to Customer.
2. AGREEMENT TERM - The term of this Agreement for each Number has been provided to the Customer and shall begin on the
date Customer accepts the Agreement in accordance with Section 1 above, and, except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, shall
end thirty (30) days after either Nextel or Customer gives notice of its intent to terminate. CUSTOMER MAY BE REQUIRED TO COMMIT
TO A FIXED ONE OR TWO-YEAR MINIMUM TERM (“MINIMUM TERM”), DEPENDING ON: (1) THE SERVICE PLAN OR SERVICE
FEATURES SELECTED; (2) THE EQUIPMENT PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER; OR (3) CUSTOMER’S PARTICIPATION IN A
PROMOTION. CUSTOMER MAY ALSO BE REQUIRED TO COMMIT TO A NEW MINIMUM TERM IF CUSTOMER CHANGES SERVICE
PLANS OR UPGRADES EQUIPMENT DURING ANY EXISTING TERM OR MINIMUM TERM. IF CUSTOMER IS SUBJECT TO A
MINIMUM TERM, CUSTOMER SHALL PURCHASE SERVICE FOR THE FULL TERM AND, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT, PAY DAMAGES TO NEXTEL (AS DISCUSSED IN SECTION 7 BELOW) IF THE AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED
BEFORE COMPLETION OF THE MINIMUM TERM. Customer will not be liable to Nextel for early termination if service is terminated
under the applicable return policy. Information about Nextel’s return policy, if applicable, will be made available to Customer at the place of
sale and will become a part of this Agreement. Nextel may extend the Minimum Term by any period of time during which Service was
suspended to Customer or during time on a seasonal Service Plan. Upon completion of the term, this Agreement shall automatically
renew on a month-to-month basis. Nextel may, in its sole discretion, decide not to renew this Agreement at any time before completion of
the term or any renewal period.
3. CHANGES TO AGREEMENT - SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, NEXTEL MAY, AT ANY TIME IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION,
MODIFY ANY OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RATES IT
CHARGES TO CUSTOMER. NEXTEL WILL PROVIDE NOTICE TO CUSTOMER OF ANY MATERIAL MODIFICATION. If the
modification is material and adverse to Customer (e.g., the modification increases the monthly Service Plan rates charged to Customer or
decreases the number of minutes included in the Customer’s monthly Service Plan) and Customer does not agree to accept the
modification, Customer may terminate this Agreement without incurring any liability to Nextel for early termination by notifying Nextel within
sixty (60) calendar days after the effective date of the modification. The effective date of the modification will be set forth in the written
notice provided to Customer. If Customer does not terminate the Agreement during the sixty (60) day period, Customer will have agreed to
accept the modification and the modification shall have retroactive effect to its effective date.
4. USE OF SERVICE OR EQUIPMENT - Customer shall not use the Service or the Equipment in any unlawful manner (including,
but not limited to, use in any aircraft or motor vehicle where prohibited by law, ordinance, or regulation), or in a manner that may be
abusive, harassing, threatening or fraudulent. Customer is solely responsible for all content transmitted using the Service or the
Equipment and shall not use the Service or Equipment to communicate any (1) harassing, threatening, defamatory, pornographic or
obscene messages; (2) unsolicited commercial messages; or (3) unsolicited commercial and/or bulk text or SMS messages. Customer
shall not use the Service or Equipment in a manner that could result in damage or risk to the business, reputation, properties, or service s
of Nextel or to Nextel’s subscribers, third parties or to the public generally. Accordingly, by way of example, Customer shall not attempt to
gain unauthorized access to the Service or any account on the Service, use the Service to infringe the cop yright of another, or upload or
transmit any “virus”, “worm” or other malicious code. Customer shall not modify, disassemble, deinstall or alter the Equipment in any
manner, except in accordance with the use instructions accompanying the Equipment. Customer may not resell or lease the Service or the
Equipment to any other person or party.
Change in Service/Number - Any change in the Service or the Equipment may require additional programming or Equipment or changes to
Numbers assigned to Customer. Customer may be assessed a programming fee in connection with any change requested by Customer.
Nextel may, at any time, change or remove any Number assigned to Customer when such change is reasonably ne cessary in the condu ct
of Nextel’s business. Customer acknowledges that Customer has no proprietary or ownership rights or interest in Customer’s Number(s)
and cannot acquire such rights or interest through usage, publication or otherwise. Customer may not assign its Number to any other
Equipment and shall not program any other Number into its Equipment.
If wireless number portability becomes available in Customer’s
Service Area, Customer may request that its Phone number(s) be ported to another service provider. Upon such request, all amounts then
owed to Nextel (including damages for early termination and any amounts that appear on the final invoice) shall become immediately due
and payable, and Customer’s failure to provide timely payment to Nextel could delay Nextel’s facilitation of Customer’s request.
5. WIRELESS DATA SERVICES - Wireless Data Services consist of applications such as email, data, information and other
wireless Internet services (“Online Applications”). Customer acknowledges that no guarantee or assurance exists that the Online
Applications will be compatible, or, if currently compatible, will continue to be compatible, with Nextel’s network or with Customer’s
Equipment or Service. Nextel does not endorse any Online Application, even if currently compatible with Nextel’s network or with
Customer’s Equipment or Service. Nextel may, at any time in its sole discretion, disable or discontinue any Online Application for any
reason. Use of Wireless Data Services requires Internet compatible Equipment, and is subject to applicable storage, memory or other
Equipment limitations. Only certain Internet sites may be accessed by Customer, and certain Wireless Data Services may not be available
in all areas where Service is provided.

Nextel Connection Manager User Guide
Content - Customer may, from time to time, access through Wireless Data Services statements, opinions, graphics, photos, music,
services and other information (“Content”), including Content provided by third parties. Customer acknowledges that Nextel offers no
guarantee or assurance regarding the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness or utility of the Content. Customer also acknowledges
that Nextel does not publish and is in no way responsible for any Content that is provided by third parties. Customer also may establish
contact with third parties through Wireless Data Services. Nextel is not responsible for the actions of third parties contacted by Customer,
whether such contact was initiated by Customer or was brought about through an embedded link on the Equipment. Content providers
and others have copyright and other proprietary interests in certain Content. Customer shall not, and will not permit others, to reverse
engineer, reproduce, broadcast, distribute, sell, publish, commercially exploit or otherwise disseminate any Content in any manner without
the prior written consent of Nextel, the Content providers, or others with proprietary interests in such Content, as applicable. Customer’s
use of the Content is strictly limited to the Customer’s own use solely in connection with the Equipment. Customer will be required to cease
using the Content if Customer fails to comply with this Section 5 or any part of this Agreement.
Network Security - Nextel may take any action that it deems necessary to (1) protect its network, its rights or the rights of its customers and
third parties; or (2) optimize or improve its network, its Services and the Equipment. Customer acknowledges that such action may
include, without limitation, employing methods, technologies, or procedures to filter or block messages sent through Wireless Data
Services. Nextel may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time, filter “spam” or prevent “hacking,” “viruses” or other potential harms
without regard to any Customer preference.
Application Support - Nextel is often not the developer of Online Applications that are accessible through Wireless Data Services.
Therefore, if Customer contacts Nextel’s Customer Care department regarding use of an Online Application, Customer may be referred to
the customer care department of the developer of the Online Application, and Nextel shall not be obligated to support any such Online
Application.
6. SERVICE AVAILABILITY - Service is generally available to Customer when Customer is within the operating range of the Nextel
network or within the range of a provider with which Nextel has a reciprocal service arrangement (“Service Area”). Customer
acknowledges that any map, diagram or other illustration of Customer’s Service Area is only an estimate and actual service cove rage may
vary. CUSTOMER’S SERVICE AREA IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME IN NEXTEL’S SOLE DISCRETION. Service quality and
availability within Customer’s Service Area is also affected by conditions Nextel does not control, including the Equipment, problems
associated with interconnecting carriers, power failures, “viruses”, obstructions such as buildings or trees, tunnels, atmospheric,
geographic or topographical conditions and other conditions. Service also may be limited or temporarily unavailable due to system
capacity limitations or system repairs or modifications. Nextel also may be required during public safety emergencies or when system
capacity is otherwise limited to limit access to the Nextel network for those customers that are not then using the Service and connected to
the network in order to facilitate communications by public safety organizations such as police and fire departments. In this event,
customers that have priority access Service as part of their Service Plan will be given access to the Nextel network before Nextel’s nonpriority access customers. Nextel will not complete calls to 900, 976 or similar numbers for pay-per-call services. Caller identification
information may not be available for all incoming calls. International calling may be blocked.
7. RATES AND CHARGES - Customer shall pay in full all charges for Services provided under this Agreement and any Service
Plan that becomes part of this Agreement, including monthly service charges, usage charges, taxes, assessments and any additional fees
or charges imposed on Customer or on Nextel and associated with the Service or the Equipment. Customer is responsible for all charges
or purchases associated with Customer’s Number and Equipment whether or not Customer was the user of the Service or authorized its
use. If Customer fails to pay any amounts when due under this Agreement, Customer shall be in default and Nextel shall be en titled to
exercise any remedies available to it under this Agreement or at law or in equity.
Service Charges - Customer shall pay all charges for Services selected by Customer as part of Customer’s Service Plan, and any
additional Services selected by Customer. Customer’s Service Plan will be offered at the rates and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Service Plan Information provided to Customer at the time of sale. CUSTOMER’S SERVICE PLAN INFORMATION SHALL BE
CONSIDERED PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. Rates charged to Customer include monthly access charges and may include activation
and other fees associated with features such as voicemail and caller identification. Monthly access charges shall begin once Customer’s
Service is activated, which may occur before Customer receives the Equipment.
Usage Charges - Depending on the Service Plan selected, Customer may incur usage charges for Services such as: wireless calling,
Direct Connect
®
, Nationwide Direct Connect®, Group Connect®, Wireless Data Services and other Services that may be offered from time
to time. Usage charges may vary depending on how, where and when Customer uses the Service. Customer may be assessed long
distance charges (including international calling) or other charges for “toll-free” calls to 800, 866, 877, 888 and other toll-free numbers.
Customer also may be charged for the use of special Services such as 411 services, operator-assisted calls or call-forwarding. Airtime
charges will be assessed for the entire period during which a call or Direct Connect
®
transmission is connected to the Nextel network. A
wireless call connection begins approximately when Customer presses the button to initiate an outgoing call or the phone starts ringing for
an incoming call and ends approximately when the first party terminates the call. Customer shall be responsible for all charges for
incoming and outgoing wireless calls that are answered. A Direct Connect
®
or Group Connect® transmission occurs approximately when
Customer presses the button to initiate a transmission and ends approximately six (6) seconds after completion of a communication (i.e.,
74
Last updated: 5/26/05
Nextel Connection Manager User Guide
when Customer or another participant releases the button) to which no participant responds. Customer initiates a new Direct Connect® or
Group Connect
Nationwide Direct Connect
charges for Direct Connect
®
transmission if Customer responds more than six (6) seconds after the other participant completes a communication.
®
calls use the Direct Connect® minutes in Customer’s plan and incur an additional access charge. Airtime
®
or Group Connect® transmissions or Nationwide Direct Connect® access are charged to the customer that
initiates the transmission and, unless a rate plan includes unlimited transmissions or access, are calculated by multiplying the d uration of
the transmission (including the six (6) second period referred to above) by the applicable rate and the number of participants. Customer
will not be charged for sending or receiving call alert transmissions (“Call Alerts”), but will be deemed to have initiated a new Direct
Connect
®
transmission if Customer responds to a Call Alert, even if Customer responds within six (6) seconds of receiving the Call Aler t.
Text and numeric messaging will be charged on a per message basis; however, Customer may elect to purchase a certain number of
messages for a fixed monthly price. Any messages in excess of Customer’s allotted messages will be charged at the per message rate.
Depending on the plan, Customer may be charged on a per kilobyte basis (one megabyte equals 1024 kilobytes and one kilobyte equals
1024 bytes), for Customer’s use of Wireless Data Services. Kilobytes may be used for, without limitation, browsing the Internet, accessing
Wireless Data Services and for reading, sending and responding to email. Airtime minutes allotted to Customer under Customer’s wireless
calling plan may be used in connection with certain Wireless Data Services. CUSTOMERS ARE CHARGED AT LEAST ONE (1) MINUTE
OF AIRTIME FOR ALL WIRELESS CALLS AND AT LEAST SIX (6) SECONDS OF AIRTIME FOR ALL DIRECT CONNECT
®
TRANSMISSIONS, REGARDLESS OF LENGTH. AFTER THE INITIAL MINUTE, AIRTIME CHARGES FOR WIRELESS CALLING ARE
ROUNDED-UP AND BILLED TO THE NEXT SECOND OR TO THE NEXT MINUTE, DEPENDING ON CUSTOMER’S SERVICE PLAN.
AFTER SIX (6) SECONDS, DIRECT CONNECT
®
TRANSMISSIONS ARE ROUNDED-UP AND BILLED TO THE NEXT SECOND. DATA
USAGE FOR WIRELESS DATA SERVICES IS ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST ONE-TENTH (1/10) OF A KILOBYTE.
Taxes, Fees and Assessments - Customer shall pay all federal, state, and local taxes and fees that are imposed on transactions subject to
this Agreement. Customer shall not be responsible for taxes and fees imposed on Nextel’s net income or property. Customer shall be
responsible for all taxes and fees (whether imposed upon Customer or Nextel) that are measured by gross receipts from sales made to
Customer or imposed as a per-line or per-unit charge. Applicable taxes and fees include, but are not limited to, the following: federal,
state, and local excise taxes, sales and transaction taxes, gross receipts taxes, utility taxes, and statutory 911 fees. If Cu stomer is eligible
for an exemption from any tax or fee, Customer must provide Nextel with a valid and properly executed exemption certificate for the
exemption to be effective. Customer shall provide Nextel with the Primary Place of Use (i.e., Customer’s residential street address or
primary business address) for each unit activated on Customer’s account, and notify Nextel of any changes in such address. Additional
fees and assessments apply to Customer’s monthly Service Plan. The charges may change and may vary depending on where Customer
is located. The charges include, but are not limited to, a Universal Service Fund assessment and a Telephone Relay Service fee. Nextel
also imposes a Federal Programs Cost Recovery (“FPCR”) fee that is not a tax or government mandated, but is kept by Nextel to recover
Nextel’s costs for complying with Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) programs and mandates. The FPCR fee is subject to
adjustment, and Nextel will provide advance notice to Customer through the “Nextel News” section of Customer’s bill or a bill insert of any
significant increase in the FPCR fee. Please consult the current Nextel pricing materials, a sales consultant or visit http://www.Nextel.com
for information regarding the FPCR fee and the current amount of the fee. Additional fees may be added to Customer’s bill to recover
Nextel’s costs for funding government programs or initiatives.
Early Termination Component of Rate Structure - Nextel incurs a significant cost in activating Service to Customer, including a large upfront cost in offering Equipment to Customer. These costs are partially recouped over the length of Customer’s Agreement with Nextel
through monthly service rate charges to Customer, which have been established in part for this purpose. If Customer breaches this
Agreement or terminates Service for any reason (including by porting its Phone number to another service provider), Customer
understands and acknowledges that Nextel will not receive the full benefit of its Agreement with Customer, in part, because Nextel will not
continue to receive monthly service charges from Customer. As a result, Nextel shall incur damages that are difficult, if not impossible, to
determine. THEREFORE, IN THE CASE OF BREACH OR EARLY TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT BY CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER
SHALL PAY TO NEXTEL, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY (IN ADDITION TO ALL AMOUNTS THEN OWED TO
NEXTEL), $200 FOR EACH NUMBER ASSIGNED TO CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT AS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES
INCURRED BY NEXTEL. This is intended to maintain Nextel’s overall rate at an acceptable level despite Customer’s early termination
and will be assessed without exception unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable law.
Failure to Pay - Customer acknowledges that time is of the essence with respect to all amounts owed to Nextel. IF CUSTOMER HAS NOT
PAID ITS MONTHLY INVOICE IN FULL BY THE DUE DATE, A LATE PAYMENT CHARGE OF UP TO 1.5% PER MONTH (18%
ANNUALLY), OR SUCH LESSER AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAY BE APPLIED TO THE TOTAL UNPAID BALANCE DUE AND
OUTSTANDING. THIS LATE PAYMENT CHARGE IS ASSESSED TO RECOVER COSTS FOR CUSTOMER’S FAILURE TO PAY AND
SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE INTEREST. Nextel’s acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full” or similar notations)
shall not waive Nextel’s right to collect the full amount due under this Agreement, plus any additional amounts charged under this
paragraph. If Nextel obtains the services of a collection or repossession agency or an attorney to assist in remedying any breach of this
Agreement by Customer, including but not limited to, Customer’s nonpayment of charges, Customer shall be liable for this expens
e.

Disputed Charges - Customer may dispute only those charges that Customer believes are the result of (1) a billing error; (2) a problem
related to Customer’s Service; or (3) dropped calls. To dispute any charge, Customer must pay all undisputed amounts when due and
submit a written notice to Nextel within ninety (90) days of the problem or before the end of the third billing cycle after the date upon which
the problem occurred, whichever occurs later. CUSTOMER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO DISPUTE ANY CHARGES FOR WHICH TIMELY
NOTICE IS NOT PROVIDED TO NEXTEL. Nextel shall resolve all disputed charges in its sole discretion. If Nextel determines that an
error was made on Customer’s invoice, Nextel will credit Customer’s account in the amount of the error. If Nextel determines that a
disputed charge was validly assessed upon Customer, Nextel will notify Customer and Customer must furnish the amount to Nextel within
a reasonable period of time; or, if authorized by Customer, Nextel may instead charge Customer’s credit card or debit card by any amount
that was validly assessed. If Customer fails to pay any undisputed amount or, after a reasonable period of time, f ails to pay any amount
determined by Nextel to have been validly assessed upon Customer, Nextel may exercise any remedies available to Nextel under this
Agreement for non-payment, including termination of the Agreement. Customer hereby acknowledges that he or she has read the
explanation of rates and charges set forth in this Section 7 and understands that these rates and charges may be assessed upon
Customer, to the extent applicable.
8. BILLING - Nextel shall issue invo ices for Service and for purchases of Equipment. Nextel’s invoicing cycle i s approximately thirty
(30) days, but may change from time to time. The day of the month on which Customer receives an invoice may vary and is subject to
change. Some billing details may be provided at http://www.Nextel.com and will not appear on invoices (except for a fee). Service
charges will be invoiced to Customer in advance or in arrears, depending on the Service Plan, and usage charges will be invo iced in
arrears. Customer may be assessed a shipping charge for Equipment delivered to Customer. Unless otherwise specified in Customer’s
Service Plan, any unused minutes or other allotted Services under Customer’s Service Plan will not be carried over to any other billing
cycle. If Customer’s Service is terminated for any reason (including if Customer’s Number is ported) before the end of any billing cycle, no
credit or refund will be provided for unused minutes or other allotted Services and any monthly service charge will not be prorated to the
date of termination. On occasion, Customer may be billed for Services in a month other than the month in which Customer used the
Services, which may result in higher-than-expected Services charges for the month in which such Services are billed. The creation of ne w
cell sites, Nextel’s implementation of new billing technology, delays in the reporting of international or other roaming charge s between
carriers, and other similar events may result in such delayed billing. Nextel may bill Customer on behalf of third party providers of Online
Applications that are accessed by Customer through the Equipment. Nextel may retain a percentage of these charges before providing the
balance to the third party provider of such Online Application.
9. PAYMENTS - Recurring Credit/Debit Card Payments
Customer may pay any amount owed to Nextel by using a credit or debit card acceptable to Nextel. If Customer wishes to pay all amounts
in this manner on a recurring basis, Customer must complete a separate payment enrollment form (“Payment Form”). Customer
acknowledges that upon signing the appropriate Payment Form, the Payment Form, including its applicable terms and conditions, will
become a part of this Agreement. Customer shall promptly notify Nextel of any changes to the credit or debit card (e.g., if the card is
terminated, lost, stolen or the expiration date changes) or bank account used for payment. Enrollment is for the duration of this Agreement
unless cancelled earlier by either Customer or Nextel upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the other party.
Specific Form of Payment - Nextel may, at any time and from time to time, as it deems appropriate (e.g., following receipt of a dishonored
check or other instrument), demand that Customer make payment by money order, cashier’s check, or a similarly secure form of payment.
Nextel also may require at any time in its sole discretion that the Equipment be purchased for cash only. In this case, title to the
Equipment shall be transferred to Customer only after receipt by Nextel of a cashier’s or certified check or other equally secure form of
payment in the amount required by Nextel.
Dishonored Checks - Nextel may charge Customer up to the highest amount permitted by law for any check or other instrument tendered
by Customer and returned unpaid by a financial institution for any reason.
10. SUSPENSION, LIMITATION OR TERMINATION OF SERVICE OR THIS AGREEMENT - General - Nextel may limit, suspend or
terminate Customer’s Service or this Agreement at any time and without providing notice to Customer if: (1) Customer fails to pay any
charges (including, without limitation, any charges assessed on behalf of third parties) when due under this Agreement; (2) Customer
behaves in an abusive, derogatory, or otherwise unreasonable manner to any Nextel employee, representative or agent; (3) Nextel has
reason to believe that Customer’s Service is being used in a fraudulent manner or for an illegal purpose (such as unusual activity levels or
calling patterns); (4) Customer’s Service is being used in a way that adversely affects other Customers’ Service or Nextel’s b usiness
operations; (5) Customer provides Credit Information that is false, inaccurate, dated or cannot be verified or Customer becomes insolvent
or subject to any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or similar laws; (6) Nextel discovers that Customer is underage or does not
otherwise possess the capacity or the authorization to enter into this Agreement; (7) Customer’s use of the Service or Equipment exceeds
limitations or violates any restrictions placed on Customer’s account or otherwise breaches this Agreement; or (8) Nextel, in its sole
discretion, believes action is required to protect its interests or the interests of Customer or its other customers. NEXTEL SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR EXERCISING OR FAILING TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS
SECTION TO LIMIT, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE SERVICE OR THE AGREEMENT. If Customer’s Service is subject to fraudulent use,
Customer shall immediately notify Nextel’s Customer Care department, provide Nextel with any documentation and information that it
76

Nextel Connection Manager User Guide
requests and otherwise cooperate with Nextel in the investigation of such incident. If Nextel terminates Service to Customer, and Service
is not reconnected within thirty (30) calendar days, all amounts owed to Nextel (including any damages for early termination) shall become
immediately due and payable.
Reactivation - Nextel may, but is not required to, reactivate Service to Customer after Service has been suspended or terminated in
accordance with the previous subsection. Before Service may be reactivated, Customer must pay to Nextel all past due amounts plus a
reconnection charge equal to $25.00 per Number, plus applicable taxes. Nextel may modify the terms of Service before reactivating
Service to Customer and may require Customer to provide Nextel with an initial Deposit or an additional Deposit.
11. RELEASE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION - Privacy - Wireless systems use radio channels to transmit communications that
may be accidentally or intentionally intercepted. Although federal and state laws may make it illegal for third parties to listen in on
Customer’s Service, privacy cannot be guaranteed. NEXTEL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR
EAVESDROPPING ON OR INTERCEPTION OF COMMUNICATIONS MADE WHILE USING THE SERVICE OR THE EQUIPMENT.
911 or Other Emergency Calls - The Service does not interact with 911 and other emergency services in the same manner as non-wireless
or landline telephone services. Depending on Customer’s location, the type of Equipment being used, the type of equipment bein g utilized
by any applicable emergency services provider, and the circumstances and conditions of a particular call, Customer’s phone number
and/or location may not be identifiable to emergency services providers and Customer may not be connected to the appropriate
emergency services provider. In certain circumstances, a 911 call may be routed to a state patrol dispatcher. Nextel is deploying wireless
E911 compatible Equipment that meets applicable FCC requirements and that is designed to help public safety authorities locate users of
the Service who make 911 calls. However, E911 service that is compatible with the FCC technical requirements is not available in all
areas, and even in those areas where it is available, it is not entirely reliable. Moreover, if Customer’s Equipment is not GPS-enabled,
emergency services personnel may have much less precise location information about the Customer, compared to the information
available to them if Customer’s Equipment was GPS-enabled. The information available to emergency service providers may also be
limited if Customer’s number or numbers are in the process of being ported. Customer acknowledges that E911 service is not available in
all areas, is not completely reliable and is further limited when using non-GPS enabled Equipment or during the number porting process.
Customer consents to Nextel’s disclosure of Customer information to governmental and public safety authorities in response to
emergencies. This information may include, but is not limited to, Customer’s name, address, Number, and the location of the user of the
Service at the time of call.
Access, Use and Disclosure of Customer Information and Communications - Customer acknowledges and agrees that Nextel may access,
use, and disclose to third parties, any information whether personally identifying information, or “customer proprietary network information”
(“CPNI”) within the meaning of 47 U.S.C. § 222 and its implementing regulations (“CPNI Regulations”) that Nextel collects, possesses or
develops about Customer to: (1) provide Customer with Equipment, Service, or customer support; (2) conduct marketing activities in
accordance with applicable law (Customer may opt out of any such marketing by contacting Nextel); (3) enable Customer to switch to a
new service provider (either Nextel or another service provider) while retaining the same phone number; (4) provide handset-based or
network-based geographic information services via Nextel-provided or third party software applications; (5) comply with applicable law; or
(6) respond to emergencies. Customer acknowledges that any information that identifies Customer (e.g., Customer’s name and Number)
and calls made by Customer may appear on the equipment or bill of a person or party that receives Customer’s call. Nextel may access,
use, disclose, record or monitor any communications to or from Customer or any other person to protect Nextel’s rights or property or
those of other customers, as permitted by law.
Geographic Information Services - Consistent with the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Nextel or a third party
application service provider may access, use, and disclose to third parties the geographic location of Customer’s Equipment to provide
Customer with any geographic information service which Customer accesses through the Service or Equipment. If Customer utilizes any
such service and there are additional users on Customer’s account, Customer shall clearly, conspicuously, and regularly notify all
individual users of the Service that location information (i.e., the geographic coordinates of the Equipment) may be accessed, used, or
disclosed in connection with the Service. For any geographic information service that is governed by the CPNI regulations or a similar law,
Nextel will provide Customer with a separate notice and opportunity to consent to the access, use, and disclosure of geographic
information. CUSTOMER SHALL HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY NEXTEL AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES,
EXPENSES, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, OR CAUSES OF ACTION (INCLUDING ALL ACTIONS BY THIRD PARTIES) ARISING OUT OF A
BREACH OF CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY USERS AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION OR CUSTOMER’S USE OF ANY
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SERVICE OR LOCATION INFORMATION.
12. EQUIPMENT - Customer shall provide Nextel with an initial payment in the amount required by Nextel, to be applied towards any
amount owed to Nextel one (1) year from the effective date of the Agreement. Customer acknowledges that Nextel is not responsible for
the Equipment or its installation. Nextel is not responsible for the operation, quality of transmission, or, unless separate maintenance
arrangements have been made between Nextel and Customer, for maintenance of the Equipment. Customer further acknowledges that
Equipment purchased from Nextel is not compatible with and will not support services provided by other wireless carriers, except for those
services provided by an entity operating compatible iDEN equipment or in connection with roaming to certain countries outside of the
United States. NEXTEL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT) RESULTING
Last updated: 5/26/05

Nextel Connection Manager User Guide
FROM INSTALLATION OF THE EQUIPMENT BY CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. UPON CUSTOMER’S ACCEPTANCE OF
DELIVERY OF THE EQUIPMENT, ALL RISK OF LOSS, DAMAGE, THEFT, OR DESTRUCTION TO THE EQUIPMENT SHALL BE
BORNE BY THE CUSTOMER. NO LOSS, DAMAGE, THEFT, OR DESTRUCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,
SHALL IMPAIR CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CUSTOMER’S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PAYMENT OF SERVICE CHARGES DUE UNDER THE AGREEMENT.
Insurance - Customer may purchase Direct Protect insurance (“Direct Protect”) to protect Customer against loss, theft, incidental damage
or accidents involving Customer’s Equipment. However, Direct Protect is not available for certain Equipment. Customer acknowledges
that Direct Protect insurance is provided by The Signal Telecommunications Insurance Services (“Signal”) and not by Nextel. If Customer
selects Direct Protect coverage, Customer will be assessed a monthly charge, which Nextel will re mit to Signal on Customer’s beh alf. Any
requests for information or claims regarding Direct Protect shall be directed to Signal. Customer acknowledges that a summary of
coverage is available at www.nextel.com, which information is also available by calling Signal at 1-888-352-9182.
Lost or Stolen Equipment - If Customer’s Equipment is lost or stolen, Customer agrees to: (1) notify Nextel within two calendar days by
calling Nextel’s Customer Care department; (2) provide Nextel with any documentation and information that it requests; and (3) otherwise
cooperate with Nextel in the investigation of such incident.
13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES - NEXTEL MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, STATUTORY, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT CONCERNING CUSTOMER’S SERVICE OR THE EQUIPMENT. NEXTEL DOES NOT

Motorola Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR MOTOROLA IM240 WIRELESS MODEM.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your Motorola product contains a radio frequency transmitter to convey the information you wish to send as well
as occasional automatic signals used to sustain connection to the wireless network, and a receiver which enables
you to receive communication and connection information from the network.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the radio product and may violate FCC regulations. When using any approved
accessory antenna, position it at least eight inches (20 cm) from any part of any person.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio product is "IN USE". Holding the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the product to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Portable Radio Product Operation and EME Exposure
Your Motorola product is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and
guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 subpart J.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). C95. 1-
1992.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). C95. 1-1999 Edition.
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998.
Ministry of Health (Canada). Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields
in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999.
Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure)
Standard 2003
ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 303 (July 2, 2002) “Regulation of the limitation of exposure to
electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency range between 9 kHz and 300 G Hz.”
"Attachment to Resolution 303 from July 2, 2002."
The iM240 modem card has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC RF exposure limits in laptop computer
configurations with side PCMCIA slots, and palmtop computers with rear PCMCIA slots, and can be used in
laptop computers and palmtop computers with substantially similar physical dimensions, con structio n, and
electrical and RF characteristics.
Your wireless modem is designed and manufactured to operate with the antenna in the vertical position. To
assure optimal radio product performance and make sure exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, be sure always to put the antenna in the vertical position
when operating the wireless modem in any computer that is sitting on your body.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories call 1-800-453-0920, or visit our website at www.mot.com/iDEN.
ALL MODELS WITH FCC ID AZ489FT5834 MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless modem is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commi ssion of
the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific stu dies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless modems employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.1 Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions reviewed by the FCC with the modem transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the modem is designed to operate
Last updated: 5/26/05

at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are
to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a modem model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this radio
product when tested for use during packet data transmission is 1.19 W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this modem with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this modem is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
AZ489FT5834.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunicatio ns
Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
1 In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for modems used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
2 The SAR information reported to the FCC includes the FCC-accepted Motorola testing protocol, assessment
procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
Electro Magnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your modem product in any facility
where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your modem product when on board an aircraft. Any use of a modem product
must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15 cm) be maintained between a wireless modem product and a pacemaker. Th ese recommendations are
consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
ALWAYS keep the modem product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the modem product is
turned ON.
Turn the modem product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless modem products may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
