CD-ROM The CD contains; drivers, software, documentation and a readme file. System Requirements This section lists the network subscriptions, hardware and software requirements for running the EDGE PC Card. Network and Subscription The network subscription you use in conjunction with your EDGE PC Card depends on the subscriptions your network operator can provide. Contact your network operator or service provider 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, so check that the Internet or VPN service you require is enabled for 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 new 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 todays GPRS networks, the EDGE PC Card receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds up to 26.8 kbps. Getting Started 7 Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput by a factor of 3. GPRS networks enhanced with EDGE are often referred to as E-GPRS (Enhanced GPRS) networks. EDGE provides the always on capability of GPRS but with greater speed. EDGE technology is transparent, simply make a GPRS connection as usual and benefit from the increase in speed where EDGE is available in a network. Short Message Service (SMS) The PC can send and receive SMS text messages using the SMS Messages screen in the Wireless Manager, see Wireless Manager SMS Messages Screen on page 33, for more details. You will need:
A PC that has the minimum specification recommended by Microsoft to run the version of Windows installed on it.
A 16 bit type II PC Card slot.

To log on to Windows using a dial-up connection the EDGE PC Card 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 on 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 shouldnt 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 dial-up connection will be using a CSD session to a corporate network, so that the logon credentials can be validated by a Windows Domain Server. 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 following 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. Start Using Wireless Manager 19 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. Refer to the AT Command Manual or contact your service provider for further assistance. 20 Start Using Wireless Manager Create a Connection Your mobile operator may have entered predefined customised connection settings for you. Check the connection drop-down menu for any existing entries, if they are available go directly to Using your Connection on page 23. or select View 1. Click 2. Select the radio button next to Create a new connection, enter a name, for example My Connection Wizard. The Connection Wizard opens. Connection, click Next. Note:
Your connection name should not exceed 16 characters for it to be fully visible in Wireless Manager. 3. The Type of Connection screen opens. From here you select the type of connection you require:
For GPRS/EDGE see steps 4 to 8
For CSD see steps 9 to 12 GPRS Connection 4. Select GPRS/EDGE. Select your Network Operator from the Choose Network drop down list. If your Network Operator isnt listed selected <Other>. Click Next. See Network and Subscription on page 7 for more information on GPRS. Note:
Type the first letter of the Network Operator you require into the field to list all the operators that start with that letter. 5. If the Access Point Name dialog opens, select the APN you want to use from the list displayed. If no APNs are listed contact your Network Operator and ask them to supply an APN. 6. To modify the selected APNs settings, Click Advanced.... See Appendix A - Connection Parameters on page 62, for descriptions of the updateable parameters in the Advanced dialog. Click Apply to save any changes before closing the dialog. Click Next. Note:
Your connection will automatically switch to EDGE when the network is available, allowing your PC Card to work at faster speeds. 7. If the operator you have selected in step 4 does not require a User ID and Password leave this screen blank if it is displayed. If you have to logon to your service provider, enter you User ID and Password into the specific fields. If you want to enter your User ID and PAssword every time you connect tick the box provided. Click Next. Note:
Some versions of Windows deliberately change the number of asterisks that represent a password and place asterisks in the password field when the password is blank in order to make the display secure. 8. Click Finish to create your connection or Back to review your settings. Create a Connection 21 CSD Connection 9. Select CSD. Select your service provider from the Choose Network drop down list. If your service provider isnt listed select <Other>. Click Next. 10. If you selected a Network Operator from the Choose Network drop down list, the telephone number screen should be automatically filled in. If you selected <Other> from the Choose Network drop down list; enter the number you need to dial to connect to your Network Operator in the Telephone Number field; include your country and area code. Ensure Use Area Code and Country Code is de-selected. Note:
Contact your Network Operator for a telephone number if necessary. 11. Click Advanced.... you can specify your preferred CSD network connection speed from the drop down list and the method you want to use to connect to the network, on the Speed tab of the Advanced dialog. Click Next. Note:
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. 12. Select the Options tab in the Advanced dialog to specify a callback number, if required. Callback is a service that allows the call direction to be reversed. If you want to watch the progress of a callback in a terminal window click the Show Terminal Window After Dialing box.

The support site gives you access to:
the latest software updates tips on how to use your EDGE PC Card efficiently function guides additional help Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use Please read this information before using your EDGE PC Card. 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.
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 cars air bag.
Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorised personnel should perform service. Antenna Efficient Use Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your EDGE PC Card. Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your EDGE PC Card and may violate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR levels above 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 (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields). 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. Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile 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 exposure. 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 exposure guidelines for fixed and mobile use when the PC Card is installed in a PCMCIA card slot of a standard Laptop PC with the original antenna. Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels when the PC Card is used in any portable host equipment 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 Card 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 Cards 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.

TCP/IP Optimisation To take full advantage of the high bandwidth of the PC Card, the TCP/IP window size parameter TCPWindowSize should be changed from the default Windows setting of 16k for Windows 2000, or 64k for Windows XP. Sony Ericsson recommends a TCP/IP packet size of 43200 for optimum performance with the PC Card. An MTU size of 1450 is also considered optimal for EDGE networks. Settings 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 Network and Dial-up Connections, locate the Sony Ericsson Wireless WAN adaptor in the list, right-click on it and select Properties. Click Configure on the Advanced tab. If directed by your network operator, you may change the settings by selecting TCPWindowSize 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 63 If you have previously optimised TCPWindowSize, for example as directed 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. 64 Appendix A - Connection Parameters Glossary Bearer Path over which data flows.

The CF-28 was developed based on thorough research into the real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pur-
suit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal connections. The CF-28's outstanding engineering has been tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810E (for vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures. As with any portable computer device precautions should be taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling procedures are recommended. Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture. Avoid Radio Frequency Interference Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver. Avoiding low-temperature burns Avoid more than casual contact with any heat pro-
ducing area of the notebook computer, AC adap-
tor, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if warmer than body temperature, can cause a burn, 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. Data stored on the hard disk may be lost. Keep Small Objects Away Do not insert paper clips or other small objects into the computer. Do Not Disassemble the Computer Do not attempt to disassemble your computer. Avoid Excessive Force on the Display Do not apply excessive downward force on the display when it is completely opened, especially when plugs and/or cables are connected to the rear of the computer. Peripherals Incorrectly using peripheral devices may lead to a decrease in performance, an increase in temperature and/or damage your computer. For more information on peripheral devices, refer to the Reference Manual. Cables Use of an interface cable longer than 3 m {9.84 feet} is not rec-
ommended. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 5 Read Me First Precautions (Battery Pack) Care should be exercised with regard to the following in or-
der to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or damage. Avoid Heat Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or ex-
pose it to excessive heat. Keep Articles Away Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or stor-
ing. Do Not Disassemble Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack, expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disassemble, or modify it. Do Not Short Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) con-
tacts. Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for ex-
tended periods 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 Use With Any Other Computer The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the specified computer or charger. Do not use it with a computer other than the one for which it was designed. Do Not Put into a Microwave Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven or a pressurized chamber. Stop Using Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, become hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape, or become in any way different from normal, remove it from the computer or charger and stop using it. Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged. Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to become wet. When Using Peripheral Devices 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 50% and store it in a cool, dry place. This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by re-
charging only when the remaining power is less than ap-
prox. 95% of capacity. 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. Should the battery leak and the fluid get into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush your eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as soon as pos-
sible. 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 (0 C to 50 C {32F to 122 F})
"Battery Power". 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. This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature environments. If the high temperature mode is enabled in the Setup Utility (
Setup Utility), a level of 100% in the [High Temperature] mode is about a level of 80% in the [Normal Temperature] mode. 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 do 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. Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used. Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors. If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm the condi-
tion and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.) . If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly. Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 6 Saving Data on the Hard Disk Do not expose your computer to shock. Use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make your software applications and data unusable.

We recommend that you check data received on disks or from external sources, such as data downloaded from the Internet, e-mail, etc. (For compressed files, uncompress them before running a check). A Characteristic of Transflective Display (Only for models with 12.1 type LCD) Immediately after the computer is turned off or enters the standby mode, you may notice a black pattern appearing temporarily at the edges of the display. This is a characteristic of the transflective display and is not a malfunction. When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, completely erase all data on the hard disk in order to prevent the theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or initialize the hard disk through normal Win-
dows commands, data can still be read using special software. In order to erase all data, either have the data erased by a specialist (at a charge) or use special software (sold separately). Also note that transferring ownership of this device without deleting software from the hard disk may violate software users licenses. 7 Read Me First Usage Environment Handling d e t r a t S g n i t t e G Maintenance Touch Pad page 17 Areas excluding the display Wipe these areas with a soft cloth, after applying water or detergent diluted with water to the soft cloth and firmly wringing out excess water.
