Welcome

Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the ZTE MY39 Wireless Data Card!

The ZTE MY39 is a hybrid mode wireless data card, which is suitable for use with CDMA1X-EVDO networks. It fits into the PCMCIA card slot of most windows based laptop computers. It allows you to connect to the internet, send and receive SMS (Short Messages Service) messages, and has a personal address book.

This manual will provide the information needed to get started using your new ZTE MY39 PC card.

Caring for your ZTE MY39

 When not in use, fold the antenna down and store in a compartment

where the card can be protected from being crushed or broken.

 Do not apply adhesive labels to the wireless data card. This may cause

the card to jam inside the PC Card slot of your notebook PC.

 The wireless data card should easily fit into the PC Card slot. Forcing the

wireless data card into the PC Card slot may cause considerable damage.

 Your wireless data card should be stored in a dry and clean place.

Protect your card from liquids, dust and excessive heat.

CDMA Coverage and Roaming

The ZTE MY39 operates on CDMA 1X-EVDO networks and can only be used where CDMA coverage is available. The companies that offer service on these networks are called wireless service providers. Every wireless service provider has a different coverage area and most wireless service providers post coverage maps on their web sites.

Most CDMA service providers have roaming agreements that allow you to use your MY39 on other wireless service provider’s networks. When you use your data card on a network other than the one operated by your wireless

service provider, you are “roaming” and you may be billed at a higher rate. Please refer to your wireless service provider for coverage details.

A CDMA Service Provider Account

Companies that operate CDMA networks and provide access to these networks are called services providers. To use the ZTE MY39, you must have an account with a CDMA service provider.

Each service provider has its own pricing options. There may be flat rate accounts, which provide you a maximum number of minutes of network usage for a fixed monthly fee. There may be accounts for which you are charged for network usage by the minute or by amount of data transmitted.

Each data card has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service provider. This sets the data card to use particular radio channels and enables services specific to that provider.

The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation involves action by the service provider and configuration of the data card. The procedure to configure (activate) your data card is covered on page 10.
