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.

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 explains the cases where the operation of the computer differs from that in the Operating Instructions. Your computer is equipped with Wireless LAN enabling you to communicate using radio frequencies. FCC Radio Frequency Interference Requirements This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and /or damage this product. Specifications Data transfer rates Standards supported Transmission method Wireless channels used RF frequency band IEEE802.11a: 54/48/36/24/18/12/9/6Mbps (automatically switched) IEEE802.11g: 54/48/36/24/18/12/9/6Mbps (automatically switched) IEEE802.11b: 11/5.5/2/1 Mbps IEEE802.11a/IEEE802.11g/IEEE802.11b OFDM system, DSSS system IEEE802.11a: Channels 36 to 64, 149 to 165 IEEE802.11b/IEEE802.11g: Channels 1 to 11 IEEE802.11a: 5.18~5.32GHz, 5.745~5.825GHz IEEE802.11g/IEEE802.11b: 2412~2462MHz Wireless LAN 76 If you use a wireless LAN, you can use a network without cable connections. CAUTION
Communication is performed through the wireless LAN antenna (A). Do not block the antenna area with your hand or otherwise interfere with the passage of the radio signals.
Do not use the Fast User Switching function. The wireless LAN cannot be used. NOTE
The communication speeds and distances differ depending on the devices that support the wireless LAN, the installation environment and other ambient conditions.
One characteristic of radio waves is that their transmission rate tends to drop as the communication distance increases. It is recommended that the devices supporting the wireless LAN be used in close vicinity to each other.
The rate may drop while a microwave oven is being used.
Do not use wireless LAN on airplanes, in hospitals, or in other locations where wireless LAN signals may affect the operation of devices in the vicinity.
If you intend to use the computer in the environments described above, turn the wireless LAN off using the following method:

Exhaustive pur-
suit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to in-
novations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal connections. The CF-29s 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 any damage. The following usage and handling procedures are recommended. Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any mois-
ture. 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. 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. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 7 Read Me First Precautions (Battery Pack) 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. This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by re-
charging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 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 possible. NOTE The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range (0 C to 50 C {32F to 122 F}). (
Bat-
tery Power) Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Re-
charging 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 tempera-
ture environments. (
Battery Power) A level corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature is approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level for nor-
mal 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 transporting a spare battery inside a package, brief-
case, etc., 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. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 8 Names and Functions of Parts The illustrations shown may differ from the actual physical appearances.

Places not to use your computer Such areas may result in damage to the computer. Areas with electronic equipment These areas may interfere with your display or cause your computer to produce strange sounds. Areas with extremely high/low temperatures Do not leave things near the computer that are sensitive to heat. During operation, the computer may become warm. Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture. This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk drive, the leakage of liquid (e.g., water) on to the keyboard, etc., but no warranty is provided against such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, be extremely careful in the handling. Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects. Do not carry your computer when it is on. Remove all external devices, cables, and PC Cards sticking out of the computer (see the figure on the left) before transporting the computer. We recommend preparing a fully charged battery (and optional charger, if possible). When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag. Do not place the computer upright or allow it to tip over. When the computer receives extremely strong shock after falling, the hard disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may become inoperable. Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display. Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard. 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 regarding their policy on this issue. It is a good idea to make backup copies on disks and carry them with you.

Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless. Use care when handling floppy disks. To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in your computer, avoid the following:
Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually. Exposing the floppy disk to a magnetic field. Storing the floppy disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, damp-
ness, or dust. Applying more than one label on the floppy disk. Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it. Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the floppy disk will be erased. Use the write-protect tab. This is a must for preserving important data. This prevents your data from being erased or over-
written. Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software and use them regularly. We recommend you run the software:
When booting your computer. After receiving data. 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). 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 and the Reference Manual, care-
fully 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. If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to con-
firm the condition 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. To prevent theft of data or unauthorized access to the hard disk via a wireless LAN.

This area is to back up (store) hard disk contents or restore backed up contents to their original locations. By backing up the data on your hard disk to a backup area, you can protect your data from loss or damage resulting from opera-
tional errors or other factors. Also, you can back up or restore hard disk contents using this computer alone, without having to use other media or peripheral devices. At the time of purchase, the hard disk backup function is disabled. If you follow the procedure below to create a backup area, the hard disk backup function will be enabled, and you will be able to back up your data. Note, that once the backup function has been enabled, you will have to perform the reinstallation procedure to disable it again (
page 31). The hard disk backup function cannot back up or restore data properly if there is a problem with the hard disk when the data is backed up or restored. Note that if an error occurs while data is being restored, whether as a result of an unexpected malfunc-
tion, incorrect operation, or other reason, the data in the hard disk (data before restoration) may be lost. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damages suffered by the user (including loss of data) as a result of the use of this function. Preparing Product Recovery CD-ROM (included) Panasonic CD/DVD drive (optional: Confirm the latest information on optional products in cata-
logs, etc.) Before Using a Hard Disk Backup Function Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices (except for the CD/DVD drive), as the backup area may not be created properly while these devices are connected. Be sure the AC adaptor is connected to the computer. A backup area cannot be created if the hard disk is already divided into several partitions. Return the computer to its condition at the time of purchase (one partition only), and create the backup area. page 36 step 8). To divide the partition, make the selection when the backup area is created (
If the partition configuration is changed (partitions created, size changed, etc.) after the backup area has been created, it will no longer be possible to execute the backup function. To change the configuration, it is necessary to return the computer to its condition at the time of purchase, and then create the backup area again. The hard disk backup function will only work for the internal hard disk. This function does not work with an external hard disk or the second hard disk (optional). Backup and restore functions will not operate if the hard disk has been damaged. Do not use the NTFS file system compression function, as this may result in insufficient capacity of the backup area. If the hard disk malfunctions, it will be impossible to read the data stored on it. We recommend that you also back up important data to a location other than the hard disk (an external hard disk or other media). Execute a disk error check using the following procedure. 1 Select [Local Disk(C:)] with the right button in [start] - [My Computer], and select [Properties]. 2 Select [Check Now] from [Tools]. 3 In [Check Disk], select [Start] without adding a check mark beside any of the items. If a message is displayed indicating that there is an error in the disk, display [Check Disk], and add a check mark for [Automatically fix file system errors] and [Scan for and attempt recov-
ery of bad sectors], select [Start], and check for disk errors again. The hard disk backup function does not accommodate dynamic disks. Do not convert the hard disk to a dynamic disk. i x d n e p p A 35 Hard Disk Backup Function NOTE Regarding backup area Requires availability of at least half of the entire hard disk. Without sufficient space available, the backup area cannot be created. When the backup area is created, the usable hard disk capacity will be reduced to less than half. The backup area cannot be accessed from Windows. For this reason, backed up data cannot be copied to CD-R or other removable disk media. When the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will be overwritten. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously in the backup area will be lost.
