Your CDMA wireless modem comes set-up to automatically detect the type of call you are placing. This is done to minimize or eliminate special hardware or software set-ups for your PC Card. Depending on the connections made to your PC Card, the card will switch automatically to one of four (4) different operational modes, Cellular Data, Land-Based Data, Cellular Voice or Land-

Based Voice. The default modes are shown below:

AUTOMATIC MODE SWITCHING DEFAULTS Accessories Communications Mode Cellular Data Mode Cellular Voice Mode Landline Voice Mode Landline Data Mode Antenna Only EarSet & Antenna EarSet & Landline DAA Landline DAA only In addition to the automatic mode defaults, several software definable optional modes can be programmed into the PC Card. Please note that unless the defaults are changed, the PC Card will operate only in the modes shown above. Your CDMA wireless modem is equipped with several features designed to provide simple and reliable cellular data and voice connections. Specifically, the PC Card is equipped with a high performance wave cellular antenna, significant cellular error correction and enhancement firmware, radio shielding, power saving features and auto-mode selecting firmware. Unlike a standard cellular phone, the cellular radio in your PC Card has been designed specifically for a notebook or hand-held computing environment. In most cases, you will be in an environment where good to excellent cellular coverage exists and should have no problem sending and receiving cellular data. However, there are a few tips provided below which, if followed, will further improve your cellular data experience. Mode number 1 3 2 0 26 Cellular Reception:

Your cards antenna can be rotated and detached for removed positioning. Proper use and placement of your antenna can enhance your cellular performance and may be critical for sending and receiving cellular data in locations where you are either far away from the nearest cellular switch or have some bulky obstructions between you and the cellular switch. In all cases, we recommend the following usage guidelines for your cellular antenna. 1. In most cases your antenna should be used directly plugged or into the PC Card. You should always have the antenna pointing vertically towards the ceiling/sky. If you are indoors and have trouble in cellular communications, you should locate the notebook or hand-held computer as close as possible to a window. Radio signals do go through walls, but some of the signal strength is lost, so it is always best to locate yourself near a window where signal degradation is minimized. If you are not receiving enough signal strength from the cellular network to send or receive data, you may have some interference being generated from your computer. In this case, you should remove the antenna and attach it to the antenna extension cable, then plug the extension cable into your PC Card. Positioning the antenna away from noisy sources like computers can sometimes help improve your signal strength and therefore increase your data throughput. 2. 3. 27 Cellular Data Connections with Dial-Up Networking You can make data connections only if the EarSet is NOT connected. If the EarSet is plug in to the modem, it will cause the PC Card to automatically be in a voice mode, not data, and the modem in the PC Card will not initialize. Most communications software programs are set-up to be used with a modem connected to a land-based telephone line. Your CDMA wireless modem is equipped to work with both land-based and cellular-based connections for sending and receiving data and/or voice. While your PC Card is equipped with a variety of error correcting protocols used for sending cellular data, Windows 98 and most communications programs need to be modified to work optimally over the cellular network. Most 32-bit Windows 98 communication programs use Windows Dial-Up Networking as the method to establish a data connection. This section will describe how best to set-up your connections for both land-based and cellular-

based data. Dial-Up Networking Windows 98 Screen 28 Setting Up Dial-Up Networking for Cellular Data Connections:

1. Double click the Make New Connection icon in the Dial-Up Networking window, a Make New Connection window will appear. 2. Enter a name for the cellular connection you wish to establish. 3. Select the CDMA wireless modem Cellular modem as your active Name your cellular data connection Select GlobeWave CDMA wireless modem PC Card modem. If you have configured your CDMA wireless modem as outlined in the previous section, there is no need to select the Configure tab on the Make New Connection window. If you have not yet configured your CDMA wireless modem for cellular use, please select Configure and follow the instructions written above under Installing the CDMA WIRELESS MODEM PC Card Hardware and Drivers on page 6. 5. Select Next and follow the remaining instructions for Dial-Up 6. You are now ready to connect your cellular data call using Dial-Up Networking. Networking. 4. 29 Sending Faxes with Your CDMA wireless modem In addition to cellular and land-based voice and data, your CDMA wireless modem is equipped with cellular and land-based fax capabilities. This section explains how to use these capabilities. But first, the following tips will help you prevent encountering problems when using your PC Card to send faxes.

If possible, do not load more than 1 fax communications software program on your computer. Most fax communication programs use the same system files for operation and conflicts can occur if more than one program is loaded on your computer. If you have more than one fax communications program on your computer, never run both programs at the same time. This will result in resource conflicts with your computer. If you switch from one fax program to another, or if you are switching from one fax program to a separate data communications program, it may be necessary to release or unload the fax driver before running any other modem programs. Fax drivers like to keep hold of the COM port in your computer. You should consult your fax and data communications software for instructions on unloading the fax driver. However, most windows programs display the fax driver as a printer selection, so unloading the driver typically means purging the fax Print jobs from your computer.

You should insert your PC Card prior to launching your communications

software program. Some packages will not recognize the Card if it is inserted after being launched. If this happens, simply exit and re-launch your communications software program. Sending a Cellular Fax Using your CDMA wireless modem

Sending a fax over the cellular network is conceptually the same as sending data, except that fax transmissions are sent using different protocols than data. Therefore, the set-up or configuration of your Card for faxing is the same as it is for sending cellular data (SEE Configuring Your CDMA wireless modem

), except that you need to chose a fax protocol or Fax Class to use for sending faxes. This setting usually takes place in your fax communications software under the setup drop down menu. A Fax Class explains the way image reduction and re-enlargement is processed during fax transmissions. Fax Class 1 & 2 are typically available. Fax Class 1 use software instructions for image management during fax transmissions. Fax 30 Class 2 uses your hardware to accomplish the same task. The image or document will end up looking the same using either Fax Class. Your CDMA wireless modem can send faxes using either Fax Class 1 or Fax Class 2. However, WE RECOMMEND USING FAX CLASS 2 for fax transmissions. Cellular Voice Calls:

Your CDMA wireless modem is equipped with a small ear-phone jack located on the same side of the PC Card as the antenna. This jack can be used with an EarSet to place cellular voice phone calls in the same manner that you would place a cellular voice call with your standard cellular phone. It is important to note that the PC Card automatically selects the mode that it is in by the attachments that are connected to it. If the EarSet is connected, the default mode of the PC Card will automatically switch to voice mode, not data, and the modem in the PC Card will not initialize. Making a voice Call Plug the EarSet into the ear-phone jack. Now your CDMA wireless modem becomes a regular cellular phone. You may use any dialer program to dial the phone number. The software package includes GlobeWave dialer (see Running and Using Dialer on page 19) that can be used for dialing voice calls. You can also setup other available dialer programs to work with your CDMA wireless modem (Consult software vendor documentation for specific setup instructions). Using AT Commands to Dial If you are using AT Commands to dial a phone number for a cellular voice call, you must do the following:

1. Plug the CDMA wireless modem into your notebook or hand-held computer WITHOUT the EarSet plugged into the card. 2. Launch your communication applications software. 3. 4. Enter the Terminal or Command mode in your communications Initialize the Card. program. NOW, plug in the EarSet. Your CDMA wireless modem is ready to use. 31 Limited One-Year Warranty Your This warranty is extended by Globewave Inc. (the company) only to the original purchaser (consumer) for use only. 1.

The following summarizes what is known--and what remains unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This information may be used to respond to questions. Why the concern?

Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as well. Although some research has been done to address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile phones. What kinds of phones are in question?

Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user's head during normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance between the phone's antenna--the primary source of the RF--and the person's head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at greater distances from 33 the user (on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called "cordless phones,"

which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned. How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be harmful?

Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuously--up to 22 hours per day. For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit additional study:

1.In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically 34
