Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for buying the Sony Ericsson GPRS PC Card Modem GC75. The
GC75 is a triple band GSM product that enables you to communicate wirelessly from your laptop on
all five continents, in over one hundred and sixty countries. As the GC75 provides wireless
communications you no longer need to carry cables, telephone jack converters, chargers and
batteries. The GC75 is very simple to install and use; the software provided allows you to select the
best data service available so that the GC75 is always available for data transfer.

The GC75 enables your laptop PC to:

• Access files, databases and discussion groups

• Send and receive SMS text messages

• Edit SIM card entries

Note:

Before using your GC75 you MUST read Important Information on page 41.

Hardware Overview

The GC75 is a standard 16 bit type II PC card. It is standard length and only the antenna protrudes
outside the PC card slot.

The GC75 operates in 3 or 5 volt slots by automatically switching to the correct voltage. The amount
of power drawn from the laptop battery is dependant upon a number of factors including status,
frequency band, distance to GSM base station and number of timeslots used. See Technical
Specifications on page 43 for a general guide to power consumption.

Before you can start using the GC75 you need to put the hardware together. You will also need a
SIM card.

SIM Card

When you subscribe to a mobile network operator, you are issued with a SIM card (Subscriber
Identity Module card). The SIM contains your personal subscriber data. You need a SIM to use
GC75.

Introduction 7

Getting Started

Checklist

Make sure the following items are in the box when you unpack it:

• Protective plastic case for storing the GC75 and its antenna

• GC75 PC Card

•SIM tray

• Antenna

• Quick Start Guide

• CD-ROM

The CD contains; drivers, software, documentation and a readme file.

System Requirements

This section lists the network subscriptions, hardware and software requirements for running the
GC75 PC Card.

Network and Subscription

The network subscription you use in conjunction with your GC75 depends on the subscriptions your
network operator can provide. Contact your network operator or service provider to make sure the
options you require are available. Make sure that data options are included in your subscription, as
these are usually optional services.

Note:

Mobile operators often provide a number of connectivity options via GPRS such as WAP and
Internet, so check that the Internet or VPN service you require is enabled for your subscription.

The functionality of the different subscriptions available from networks operators are discussed
below:

Circuit Switched Data (CSD)

CSD is the original GSM network data transfer method, used in the past for WAP. Almost all GSM
networks have this capability at 9.6 kbps. It is possible for the network to upgrade the speed to

14.4 kbps. The GC75 operates at this higher speed where available.

High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD)

HSCSD is an enchanced GSM network capability offered by some network operators. It enables
circuit switched data connections to run at a higher data speed, using more than one wireless
‘timeslot’ for the data transmission. This is ideal for providing a faster connection to existing
corporate or ISP dial-up facilities. The preferred connection speed is selected when you define the
connection using the Connection Wizard.

8 Getting Started

Hardware

Software

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

GPRS is a new network connection which provides “always on” mobility. The connection set up is
fast and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required. In today’s
GPRS networks, the GC75 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds up to 26.8
kbps.

Short Message Service (SMS)

The PC can send and receive SMS text messages using the SMS Messages screen in the GC75
Manager, see GC75 Manager SMS Messages Screen on page 33, for more details.

You will need:

• A PC that has the minimum specification recommended by Microsoft to run the version of

Windows

®

installed on it.

• A 16 bit type II PC Card slot.

• Sony Ericsson GPRS PC Card Modem GC75

You will need:

network connection speed from the drop down list and the method you want to use to connect to
the network, on the Speed tab of the Advanced dialog. Click Next.

Note:

If you are unsure which speed to choose from the Speed tab, start with 9600, and check to see
if it works. If it is successful increase the speed until you find the appropriate setting.

password and place asterisks in the password field when the password is blank in order to
make the display secure.
