1 | Introduction

Why sit confined at a desk when you can check email and browse the Web while lounging in bed? Socket’s Cordless 56K Modem with Bluetooth Wireless Technology lets you comfortably access the Internet from your Pocket PC, Palm PDA, Windows notebook or tablet PC without any cables tying you down.

Cellular coverage isn’t ubiquitous, and not all hotels have LAN or Wi-Fi, but virtually every place you go will have telephone access. Plus, the modem avoids the hassles of spotty cellular data service, cellular network incompatibility or expensive roaming charges.

Just connect the Cordless 56K Modem to any analog phone line, make a Bluetooth connection with your mobile computer, and enjoy up to 328 ft (100 m) of wireless freedom. You can use the Cordless 56K Modem with almost any Bluetooth enabled mobile computer that supports a Dial-up Networking client. No software is required —the Socket Cordless 56K Modem works right out of the box!

Optional Software for Windows Mobile

Socket’s software for Windows Mobile is optional to install but highly recommended because of the great features it offers.

Socket Connect!Agent greatly simplifies Bluetooth by working in the background to manage the wireless connection between the Pocket PC and the Socket Cordless 56K Modem. Bluetooth configuration and setup are automated, providing a hassle-free Bluetooth experience to the user.

Follow Socket’s Connection Setup wizard to quickly and easily set up a dial-up connection to your Internet Service Provider or office network.

Socket’s Modem Utilities software enables you to take advantage of the modem’s v.92 features, program the modem for different country codes, and adjust the speaker volume.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 5

About V.92 Quick Connect

Quick Connect is a V.92 modem specification that reduces the time needed to establish a connection via faster handshaking. Handshaking (which makes all the noise you hear while dialing in) typically takes 25-27 seconds, but with Quick Connect, lasts only about half as long.

When enabled with Quick Connect, the Socket Cord less 56K Modem will store data about the last connection — or in other words, “train” itself for the last phone line used. While dialing into a network, the Socket Cordless 56K Modem will compare the phone line characteristics with the stored data, and if a match is found, the handshake starts using previous settings. Quick Connect is convenient if you plan to repeatedly use the Socket Cordless 56K Modem with the same phone line, for example the phone line in your hotel room.

IMPORTANT! If you plan to use your modem in different locations, Socket recommends that you disable Connect feature.

If you enable Quick Connect but use the modem in different locations, the connection may take twice as long to establish because it searches for the previous line characteristics before trying to connect to the new line.

System Requirements

Your mobile computer should meet these minimum requirements:

• Bluetooth wireless technology

• Support for a Bluetooth Dial-up Networking Client

Minimum requirements for Socket software:

• Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE/5.0

• ActiveSync 4.0 or greater

• Connect!Agent

: Additionally, your Pocket PC must have the Broadcom

(Widcomm), Microsoft or Socket (SD/CF card) Bluetooth stack

Note: If your Pocket PC is not compatible with Connect!Agent, or if you do not want to install it, use your device’s Bluetooth software.

V.92 Quick Connect requires a V.92 Internet Service Provider.

Socket Connect!Agent is not compatible on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices using the

Socket SD/CF Bluetooth card.

The frequency used by this product is also used by industrial, scientific and medical devices, such as microwave ovens, as well as wireless detectors for motion detectors, such as those requiring licenses used on manufacturing lines or similar radio transmitters (all of these wireless devices will be called “other wireless transmitters” below). Most modern electronic equipment (e.g., in hospitals and cars), is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not.

1. Please ensure that all medical devices used in pr oximity to this device

meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.

2. In the unlikely even t that there is electronic interference between this

system and other wireless transmitters, quickly change the location of operation or stop operating the unit (cease signal transmission).

3. If other electrical interference or related problems occur, contact

NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RADIO OR TV  INTERFERENCE CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THIS  EQUIPMENT. SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER'S AUTHORITY TO  OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.  To comply with Industry Canada RF exposure compliance requirements, the following antenna installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied: “The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, available at Health Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ehp/ehd/catalogue/rpb.htm” 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 may try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

• Increase the distance separating the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different branch circuit than that of the receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment is also ETS EN300 328-2, ETS EN301 489-1 and ETS EN301 489-17 compliant. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.

This equipment generates and radiates radio-frequency energy. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the following antenna installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied: (1) Users are not permitted to make changes or modify the system in any way, and (2) connecting external antennas to the card is prohibited. This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter.

To comply with Industry Canada RF exposure compliance requirements, the following antenna installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied: “The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, available at Health Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ehp/ehd/catalogue/rpb.htm

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 may try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

• Increase the distance separating the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different branch circuit than that

of the receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
