System Requirements

This section lists the network subscriptions, hardware and softw a re requir em ents for running the
EDGE PC Card.

Network and Subscription

The network subscripti on you use in conj unction with your EDGE PC Card depends on the functions
and features your network operator can p rovide. Contact your network oper ato r or serv i ce prov ider
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. Verify the service you require, such as Internet, email or corporate VPN (Virtual Private
Network) service is available through your mobile operator and enabled on 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 EDGE PC Card operates at this higher speed where available.

Note:

GC85 does not have CSD connectivity. An upgrade will be available to add this functionality
to the GC85, contact your service operator for more details.

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

GPRS is a type of 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 EDGE PC Card receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds
up to 26.8 kbps.

Windows Log on Using GPRS/EDGE Dial-up Connection

The EDGE PC Card supports the Windows Log on using dial-up connection feature.
To log on to Windows using a dial-up con nection the EDGE PC C ard must be inserted and the radio

enabled before you log on. To enable the radio prior to logon, select Enable radio immediately
when card inserted checkbox in the Radio Power preferences tab, see Radio Power Tab on page 15
for more details.

Important!

Never start your PC in this mode if you are in a location where mobile devices shouldn’t be used,
for example, on an aeroplane, in hospital or near a blast site.

Only check this option if you need to log on to a Windows Domain via a wireless dial-up connection.
This will permit the EDGE PC Card to register with the network and establish a connection when the
Windows logon screen is displayed.

Note:

It is not possible to display network status or signal strength during the Windows logon
procedure, so you should allow enough time for the EDGE PC Card to find and register with
the wireless network prior to attempting to log on.

The dial-up connections available to the Windows Logon must have been created by a user account
with Administrator privilege and designated For all users. This must be done using the Windows
Network Connection Wizard, because the Wireless Manager can only create connections for the
current user ID.

Normally the Windows Logon using di al-up conn ection will be using a CSD session to a corpor ate
network, so that the logon credentials can be validated by a Windows Domain Server.

Start Using Wireless Manager 19

There may be special circumstances where a GPRS dial-up connection is required for logon.
To create a GPRS dial-up connection, follow these steps:

1. Create the Windows dial-up connection using the Windows Network Connection Wizard.
For the telephone number, use *99***3#.

2. Set the GPRS context parameters in the EDGE PC Card using the follo wing AT commands.
Type the AT Commands into the Windows Hyperterminal program.

AT+CGDCONT=3,“IP”,“<AccessPointName>”,“”,0,0
where <AccessPointName> is the name of the special GPRS access point for your corporate
GPRS service.

Note:

In this example, we used GPRS Context 3. There are 10 possible contexts supported by the
EDGE PC Card (1..10). Context ID 2 is reserved for use by connections created by the
Wireless Manager. The context definition is stored in nonvolatile memory in the EDGE PC card
and only needs to be set up once. Cards could be set up, for example, by the IT Manager using
a different laptop.

Refer to the AT Command Manual or contact your service provider for further assistance.

If you are experiencing problems contact your network
operator and check the APN.

Either: Service is not supported by SIM (usually for CSD)
or the computer is not answering.
Check SIM settings with your service provider if necessary.
Make sure that the server you are dialing is OK.
If you are unsure which speed to choose from the Speed tab,
start with Analogue 9600, and check to see if it works. Once
your connection works on Analog, you can try the V110/V120
settings to see if faster speeds are available. V110/V120
also connects faster than analog. When roaming you may
need to repeat this procedure to adapt your settings to the
capability of the local network operator.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please read this information before using your GC82, GC83 or GC85.

Recommendations

• Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.

• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or humidity.

Antenna

Efficient Use

• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.

• Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.

• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.

• Do not paint your product.

• Do not use your product near medical equipment without requesting permission.

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

• Do not use your product in an area where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.

• Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in the area above your car’s air bag.

• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorised personnel should
perform service.

Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony E ric sson for you r EDGE PC Car d.
Use of unauthorise d or mod ified ante nna s coul d dama ge your ED G E PC Card and may vi olate
regulations, causing lo ss of perform ance and SAR levels abo ve the recommended limits (see below).

Do not cover the antenna when in use, as this affects call quality and may cause the EDGE PC Card
to operate at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.

Additional Information 47

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR

Your PC Card is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). When it is turned on,
it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (als o kno wn as r adi o wave s or radio fre quen cy field s).

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. Th ese guidelines e stablish permitted le vels of ra dio 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 (S AR) is the unit of measurement fo r the amount of radio frequency ener gy
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.

Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations
in safety. While there m ay be differences in SAR level s among mob ile phones, all Sony Ericsson PC
Cards are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.

Before a PC Card 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 expos ure. The
tests are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn
operation, this PC Card has been tested and meets FCC RF exposu re guidelines f or fixed and mobil e
use when the PC Card is installed in a PCMCIA card sl ot o f a s t and ard Lapt op P C wit h th e or ig inal
antenna.

Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about, the body worn S AR levels when
the PC Card is used in any portable host equipm ent or when any changes to the original product has
been made.

More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found on: www.sonyericsson.com.

Personal Medical Devices

EDGE PC Cards may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted equipment.
If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the EDGE PC Ca rd and the pacemaker,
the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
immediately turn off your EDGE PC Card. Contact your cardiologist for more information.

For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the device.

Children

DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR EDGE PC CARD OR ITS ANTENNA.
THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE
THE EDGE PC CARD OR ANTENNA. YOUR EDGE PC CARD OR ITS ANTENNA MAY
CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.

Disposing of the Product

Your EDGE PC Card should not be placed in municipal waste. Please check local regulations for
disposal of electronic products.

48 Additional Information

Emergency Calls

EDGE PC Card s manufactured by Sony Ericsson do not support voice calls, hence their use for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies) is not possible.

Inserting and removing the SIM card – precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that the EDGE PC Card
is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.

and for a subsequent period of one (1) year.

What We Will Do

If, during the warranty period, t his Product fails to operate under normal use and service, due to
defects in design, materials or workmanship, Sony Ericsson authorised distributors or service
partners, in the country/region* where you purchased the Product, will, at their option, either repair
or replace the Product in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated herein.

Sony Ericsson and its se rvice partners reserv e the right to charge a handling fee if a returned Product
is found not to be under warranty according to the conditions below.

These settings are made automatically when the Wireless Manager is installed. They may be viewed
and, if necessary, changed in the properties of the Sony Ericsson Wireless WAN network adaptor.

Select Start Settings Network and Dial-up Connections, locate the Sony Ericsson Wireless
WAN adaptor in the list, right-click on it and select Properties.

Select your preferred network connection speed from the drop down list
provided:
9600 or14400.

Enter the number the a callback should be made to. You can only use
Callback if you are connecting to a source that gives permission for
callbacks to be made, for example your company server.

Click Co nfi gur e on the Advanced tab. If directed by your network operator, you may change the settings
by selecting TCPWindo wSize or MTU and changing the value. Changes to these settings require the
network adaptor to be restarted. It is recommended that the laptop is rebooted.

Appendix A - Connection Parameters 65

If you have previous ly optimis ed TCPWindowSize, for example as direct ed by a broadband internet
service provider, then check whether that setting is global or specific to the network adaptor over which
the broadband connection is made. It is preferable that all TCPWindowSize settings are specific to the
network adaptor involved, since this ensures that each individual connection is correctly optimised.

In some cases it is necessary to set TCPWindowSize globally. Further information and a utility to do
this is available at www.sonyericsson.com/support.
