.. . . . . .. Introduction Getting Started Installation Activation Using WatcherTM LED Indicators and Modem Specifications KYL-SUM02252004 ii 1: Introduction 1 The Sierra Wireless SB555 OEM CDMA modem is an embedded wireless modem for cellular and North American PCS networks. It enhances the functionality of your Toughbook by adding high speed wireless data service. The SB555 modem functions as a wireless network card. It allows you to connect to the Internet, send and receive e-mail, and connect to a corporate network, without the need of a network cable or phone line. The SB555 modem is designed to provide a wide range of capabilities using CDMA network technology. Implementation of these features will depend on the particular service provider and account features you have chosen. Some features described in this manual may not be supported by your service provider or may not be available with your network account. Contact your service provider for details of the services and accounts available. CDMA2000 1X services The Sierra Wireless SB555 modem operates over a type of wireless network called CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access). CDMA technology provides a variety of connectivity features, depending on your service provider and account:

Express NetworkSM high-speed packet data, sometimes known as 1xRTT, this supports Internet connections with data rates up to 153.6 kbps (downlink) and 76.8 kbps (uplink). Actual speed will depend on the network. Circuit switched (dial-up) data, using the earlier CDMA IS-95 specification, supports data connections to any dial-in service at rates up to 14.4 kbps. Quick 2 NetSM, provides a simplified way to dial into an Internet connection (using circuit switched data) where Express Network

(1X) packet service is not available. (available with Verizon Wireless) SMS (Short Message Service), allows you to send and receive short text messages using the SB555 modem. A CDMA service provider account Companies that operate CDMA networks and provide access to these networks are called service providers. You must have an account with a CDMA service provider to use the SB555 modem. Each SB555 has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service provider. This sets the SB555modem to use particular radio channels and enable services specific for that provider. The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation involves action by the service provider and configuration of the SB555 modem. The procedure to configure (activate) your SB555 modem is covered in Activation on page 5. KYL-SUM02252004 1 2: Getting Started 2 Your Panasonic Tougbook CF-P1 comes with a software for the Sierra Wireless SB555 CDMA modem. Before you can begin using the SB555 modem, you must:

1. Install the SB555 Watcher software and modem driver. 2. Activate an account and configure the SB555 modem to use your account (unless the SB555 modem has been pre-activated). Unless your SB555 modem has been pre-activated, the Watcher software will automatically detects that no account has been configured when you run it for the first time. Watcher then runs the Activation Wizard the activation and configuration process. Configuring the SB555 modem involves setting the phone number assigned by your service provider and may involve other network parameters and settings such as a user name and password to access services. Your service provider needs to know:

The ESN (Electronic Serial Number) assigned to your modem.

(The ESN is labeled on the back of your Toughbook CF-P1 and can be displayed in Watcher.) This number is used to help authenticate your account when you connect for service. to guide you through You require from your service provider:

Determine your signal strength, roaming status, 1X high speed data availability, and other network connection parameters Initiate data calls View call statistics Receive and send SMS messages Customize features and options The Watchers features are indicated in the figure below and the meanings of the Watcher icons are listed in Table 2. Table 2:

Icon Meaning The Signal Strength indicator uses bars to show the intensity of the radio signal. The number of bars increases as signal strength increases to a maximum of five bars. When the bars are dimmed and the antenna icon is crossed out, no connection is possible for one of these reasons:

You are outside the CDMA network coverage area The signal strength is too weak A network or account problem is preventing the SB555 modem from obtaining wireless service The integrated antenna or antenna connection may have been damaged The 1X indicator shows whether 1xRTT is available in this area. The Roaming Status indicator shows whether you are roaming onto the network of a service provider other than your own. When the indicator is off (gray), you are within the local coverage area of your service provider. When the indicator is on (solid black), you are in a preferred roaming area. When the indicator is blinking, you are within the coverage area of a CDMA network but not in a preferred roaming area. Your coverage area and account charges depend upon your service provider and the type of account you have. There may be KYL-SUM02252004 6 surcharges for roaming service that vary based on whether you are in a preferred or non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming agreement between your service provider and the local carrier, you might NOT able to complete calls. A circuit-switched data call is in progress. A high-speed (1X) packet data call is in progress. A fatal error has occurred and the Watcher software is not able to communicate with the SB555 modem. (This may be resolved by closing Watcher and restarting your SB555 modem) The SMS message indicator shows whether you have unread messages. A blinking icon indicates that there are one or more urgent or important unread messages. The voice mail indicator shows whether you have unheard voice messages.

4 Precautions The CF-P1 was developed based on thorough research into real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pursuit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such as the magnesium alloy exterior and flexible internal connections. The CF-P1's outstanding engineering has been tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810F (for vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures. As with any portable computer device precautions should be taken to avoid to the CF-P1 damage. The following usage and handling procedures are recommended. Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture. Avoid Extreme Heat and Cold Do not store or use the computer in locations exposed to heat (in an automobile on a sunny day, for example), direct sunlight, or extreme cold. Avoid moving the computer between locations with large temperature differences. Operation Temperature: -20 oC to 50 oC {-4 oF to 122 oF}

Humidity:

30 % to 80 % RH (No condensation) Storage Temperature: -25 oC to 60 oC {-13 oF to 140 oF}

Humidity:

30 % to 90 % RH (No condensation) Avoid Radio Frequency Inter-

ference Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver. Be careful of low-temperature burns Avoid more than casual contact with any heat producing area of the computer, AC adaptor, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if warmer than the bodys temperature, can cause burns, if the skin is exposed to the heat source for a long enough period of time. Avoid Magnetic Fields Keep the computer away from magnets. Avoid Stacking Do not place heavy objects on the computer. Keep Small Objects Away Do not insert paper clips or other small objects into the computer. Do Not Disassemble the com-

puter Do not attempt to disassemble your computer. Avoid Excessive Force on the LCD Do not apply excessive down-

ward force on the LCD. Handling Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects. Remove all cables before transporting your computer. We recommend that the battery be fully charged. We also recommend that the backup battery (a built-in coin type bat-

tery) be fully charged. When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., we recommend that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag. Always carry your computer with you when traveling. Never check it in with luggage. For use of the computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regard-

ing their policy on this issue. It is a good idea to make backup copies on SD memory cards/MultiMedia Cards and carry them with you. 5 Precautions Battery Pack Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the possibility of over-heating, fire, or damage. Avoid Heat Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or expose it to exces-

sive heat. Keep Articles Away Do not place the battery pack to-

gether with articles such as neck-

laces or hairpins when carrying or storing. Do Not Disassemble Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack, expose it to bumps or shocks, or deform, dis-

assemble, or modify it. Do Not Short Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) contacts. Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for extended peri-

ods where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, in a hot place (in an automobile on a sunny day, for example), or in a cold place. Do Not Put Into a Microwave Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven or a pressur-

ized chamber. Do Not Use With Any Other Device The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the speci-

fied computer. Do not use it with a device other than the one for which it was designed. 6 Stop Using Should the battery emit an ab-

normal odor, become hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape, or become in any way different from normal, re-

move it from the computer and stop using it. If the battery pack will not be used for a long period of time (a month or more), charge or discharge (use) the battery pack until the remaining battery level becomes 30 % to 40 % and store it in a cool, dry place. The battery pack is not charged when the computer is first purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the first time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically. If the battery leaks and the fluid gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immedi-

ately flush your eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as soon as possible. About High Temperature Mode This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature environ-

ments. We recommend setting the high temperature mode function when install-

ing the computer in a car, etc. To do this, set [Charging mode] in

- [Settings] -

[System] tab - [Panasonic Settings] to [High Temperature]. In the high temperature mode, the full charge capacity of battery becomes approximately 80 %. NOTE The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable temperature range (5 C to 40 C

{41F to 104F})*. Even if charging stops because the temperature is outside the charging temperature range, the battery indicator will remain in the illuminated orange. Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when the temperature is 10 C {50 F} or below.) If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range. The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of time the computer can be run off a particular battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging does not restore its performance, the battery pack should be replaced with a new one. When a spare battery pack is to be carried in a pocket or bag, it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are protected. Always power off the computer when it is not in use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adaptor is not connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.

*These temperature settings are valid when the battery is charging and the computer is off. The temperature range may become narrower when the battery is charging and the computer is operating. A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for infor-

mation on how to recycle this battery. Lappareil que vous vous tes procur est aliment par une batterie au lithium-ion. Pour des renseignements sur le recyclage de la batterie, veuillez composer le 1-800-8-BAT-

TERY. When Using Peripheral Devices Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral de-

vices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used. Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computers specifications. Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors.

ing begins automatically. Charging Time: Approx. 3 hours This computer is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged lithium-

ion battery (main battery). This backup battery retains data in memory when the lithium-ion battery is removed, and takes 36 hours to charge when you first use this computer. 12 NOTE When the backup battery or main battery becomes low, some alert messages and icons will be displayed. (

pages 16) CAUTION Do not remove the main battery before the backup battery is fully charged. Other-

wise, data in RAM will be lost. Take care to ensure that the remaining power in the main battery and the backup battery never discharges completely. When any remaining power discharges completely, the computer will no longer function properly, and the computer powers off automatically. Connect the AC adap-

tor and recharge the battery. If the computer is left for 72 hours or more without recharging, the computer may be fully reset. When the computer is fully reset, all user-added data will be deleted. The computer will be returned to the condition at the time of purchase. After the cover is closed, press down firmly on the cover and confirm that the cover is locked. Handling the AC adaptor Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the connections. Use only the provided AC adaptor with your computer.
