2 GS64 WIRELESS MODEM

2.1 About the Gx64 Family

The Sony Ericsson Gx64 family of devices are Quad Band GSM/GPRS wireless modems operating in the GSM 850/900/1800/1900 bands.

The products belong to a new generation of Sony Ericsson wireless modems, and are intended to be used in machine-to-machine applications and man-to-machine applications. They are used when there is a need to send and receive data (by SMS, CSD, or GPRS), and make voice calls over the GSM network.

Two software variants of the Gx64 devices exist. One variant is designed to be controlled from a micro-controller situated on the host application. The other variant offers the option to run applications embedded onto the module itself. When using the embedded application version the controlling script can be run internal to the module, with or without the use of an external control.

A typical application, involves a micro-controller and a wireless modem, in which the micro-controller sends AT commands to the wireless modem via an RS232 communications link.

They also show the communication principles of the system and the interface between the wireless modem and the application. The definitions in the figures, as used elsewhere in this manual, are in accordance with the recommendations of 3GPP TS 27.007.

The MS (mobile station) represents the wireless modem and SIM card. The wireless modem excluding SIM card, is known as the ME (mobile equipment).

The DTE (data terminal equipment) is the controlling application. This can be either an external host or an internal embedded application

In accordance with the recommendations of ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunications Standardization Sector) V.24, the TE communicates with the MS over a serial interface.

The functions of the wireless modem follow the recommendations provided by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and ITU-T. 3GPP is a collaboration agreement that was established in December 1998. The collaboration agreement brings together a number of telecommunications standards bodies which are known as

Organizational Partners

ATIS, TTA, and TTC.

3GPP specifies a set of AT commands for controlling the GSM element of the wireless modem; these commands are supplemented by Sony Ericsson specific commands.

To find out how to work with AT commands, see the AT Commands Manual.

2.3 Features

. The current Organizational Partners are ARIB, CCSA, ETSI,

The wireless modem performs a set of telecom services (TS) according to 3GPP release 99 and ITU-T. The functions of the wireless modem are implemented by issuing AT commands over a serial interface.

2.3.2 Short Message Service

The wireless modem supports the following SMS services:

Sending; MO (mobile-originated) with both PDU (protocol data unit) and text mode supported

Receiving; MT (mobile-terminated) with both PDU and text mode supported

CBM (cell broadcast message); a service in which a message is sent to all subscribers located in one or more specific cells in the GSM network (for example, traffic reports)

SMS status report according to 3GPP TS 23.40

The maximum length of a text mode SMS message is 160 characters using 7-bit encoding. The wireless modem supports up to six concatenated messages to extend this function. Concatenation is performed by the host application.

2.3.3 Voice Calls

The wireless modem offers the capability of MO (mobile originated) and MT (mobile terminated) voice calls, as well as supporting emergency calls. Multi-party, call waiting and call divert features are available. Some of these features are networkoperator specific.

For the inter-connection of audio, the wireless modem offers both single ended and balanced analogue input and output lines. Direct interface to the digital PCM (pulse code modulation) bus used within the wireless modem is available, thus by-passing the internal analogue circuitry. The wireless modems support HR, FR, EFR and AMR vocoders.

2.3.4 Data

The wireless modem supports the following data protocols:

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)

The wireless modem is a Class B terminal. The wireless modem is GPRS multislot class10 enabled, capable of receiving at a maximum of four timeslots per frame (down link), and transmitting in two timeslots per frame (up link). See section 2.3.5 for multi-slot allocation by class.

2.6 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Users must follow the general usage outlined in this chapter before using the GS64 for any purpose.

LZT 123 1836 20

2.6.1 General Usage

Always treat the product with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place

Do not expose the product to liquid

Avoid exposing the product to moisture or high humidity environments

Do not expose the product to extreme high or low temperatures beyond those specified for operation and storage

Do not expose the product to open flames or lit tobacco products

Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product

Do not paint the product

Do not use the product near medical equipment without requesting permission

Do not use the product when in, or around aircraft, or areas posted “turn off two-way radio”

Do not use the product in an area where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists

Do not place the product or install wireless equipment in the area above a vehicle’s air bag

Do not attempt to disassemble the product; only Sony Ericsson authorized personnel should perform servicing

2.6.2 Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SAR

Your wireless modem device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).

LZT 123 1836 21

Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.

The GS64 wireless modem device has been approved for applications where the antenna is located >20cm from the body. In all other configurations the integrator is responsible for meeting the local SAR regulations.

Integrators of the GS64 wireless modem device are responsible for ensuring that they meet the SAR regulatory requirements of the countries in which they intend to operate the device, and that their documentation contains the relevant SAR declaration, certification information, and user guidance as appropriate.

More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found at

www.sonyericsson.com

2.6.3 Personal Medical Devices

Wireless modem devices may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and certain other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is maintained between the GS64 module’s radiating antenna and a pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If the integrator’s application is likely to be situated in the vicinity of personnel, a suitable warning should be contained in the equipment manual to this effect.

LZT 123 1836 22

2.6.4 Disposal of Old Electronic Equipment

This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product shall not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to an appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

The recycling of materials will help to conserve natural resources. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the Sony Ericsson regional sales office.

2.7 Product Marking

Your attention is drawn to the Regulatory Notices contained in Section 11, specifically the paragraph pertaining to the FCC marking requirements for devices in which the GS64 is installed. Any device that integrates the GS64, which is subject to FCC regulatory approval, must have an exterior label identifying the GR64 FCC ID number.
