(subject to feature availability), without using a wireline phone or network:
Connect to the Internet, VPN and corporate networks
Connect to a dial-up service
Make and receive phone calls Your EM5625 connects to wireless CDMA networks, providing data transmission speeds up to 2.4 Mbps. To use the EM5625, you must have an account that gives you access to the Verizon Wireless VZAccessSM service. Send and receive SMS messages Feature availability The EM5625 provides a wide range of capabilities using CDMA wireless network technology. Some features described may not be available with your network account. For details of the services and accounts available, contact Verizon. CDMA networks The EM5625 provides a variety of connectivity features, depending on your account:
BroadbandAccessSM high-speed packet data, sometimes known as 1xEV-DO, supports Internet connections with data rates up to 2.4 Mbps (downlink from the network), and 153.6 kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends on the network conditions.
NationalAccess high-speed packet data, sometimes known as 1X, supports Internet connections with data rates up to 153.6 kbps (downlink from the network) and 76.8 kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends on the network conditions.
Circuit switched (dial-up) data, using the earlier CDMA IS-95 specification, supports dial-up data connections at rates up to 14.4 kbps. Rev 0.21 Dec.04 9 Online Help for VZW EM5625 NB
Quick 2 NetSM provides a simplified way to dial into an Internet connection (using circuit switched data).
SMS (Short Message Service) allows you to send and receive short text messages using the EM5625.
Voice calling, including E911 (Phase I) support for emergency services. Network account and coverage To use the network, you require a Verizon Wireless account. The area in which you can obtain CDMA network service is called the coverage area. To obtain coverage you must:
Be in proximity to a CDMA network, operating in a frequency band supported by the modem.
Have an account that allows you to access that network. You can make phone calls (subject to feature availability) wherever you have coverage and the network accepts your account. In areas where there is CDMA coverage but no VZAccess
(NationalAccess or BroadbandAccess) service, you can use the EM5625 for dial-up and Quick 2 Net connections (subject to feature availability). Where VZAccess is implemented, you can make NationalAccess or BroadbandAccess high-speed packet data connections. To determine available services, check the Connection status area icons. With roaming service, you can use your account on networks outside of the Verizon Wireless VZAccess coverage area. Roaming An icon in the Connection status area of Watcher indicates roaming. You are in a preferred roaming area. If this icon is flashing, you are in a non-preferred roaming area, and you may not be able to complete your calls. You are within your own service provider's network. You can configure a Service Alert to notify you when your coverage changes.

The number of bars increases as signal strength increases, to a maximum of five bars. The ToolTip shows the numeric value of the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). Blank bars mean that you are outside of the coverage area or have insufficient signal strength to maintain a WiFi connection. Your ability to connect to a hotspot depends on how it is operated. Some hotspots are operated by wireless service providers, and you require a subscription to use them. Some are privately operated within homes, businesses, and organi-
zations. To connect to a hotspot, you may require a WEP key and/or an SSID (Service Set Identifier), depending on how the hotspot is configured. You obtain these from the WiFi network operator. Note: Every manufacturer designs their WiFi network adapters to perform to different specifications. For example, some network adapters do not present signal strength; for such network adapters, Watcher is unable to indicate hotspot signal strength. Your WiFi network adapter may not operate exactly as described here. Related topics

To use the network, you require an account with a service provider. The process of activation configures your EM5625 with the required account parameters (phone number, etc.). The Activation Wizard guides you through the process. If your EM5625 does not have an activated account, then, when you run Watcher or it autostarts, the Activation Wizard should autostart. If this does not happen: To start the wizard manually, select TOOLS > Activation Wizard... To display information about your account, use HELP >
About Watcher..., or the Connection Manager properties. 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 Verizon Wireless to use the EM5625. 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 the amount of data transmitted. Your account may include a variety of other services such as text messaging and voice mail. Each EM5625 has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service provider (Verizon Wireless). This sets the EM5625 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 Verizon Wireless and configu-
ration of the EM5625. Your service provider needs to know what billing information to use to collect payment for your network usage. They also need to know the ESN (Electronic Serial Number) assigned to your modem during the manufacturing process. (The ESN can be displayed in Watcher.) This number is used to help authen-
ticate your account when you connect for service. Rev 0.21 Dec.04 95 Online Help for VZW EM5625 NB Configuring the EM5625 involves setting the phone number assigned by Verizon Wireless and may involve entering other network parameters and settings such as a user name and password to access services. If you purchased your wireless device directly from Verizon Wireless, you may already have an account; your EM5625 may be pre-activated. Unless your EM5625 has been pre-activated, Watcher automat-
ically detects that no account has been configured when you run it for the first time. Watcher then runs the Activation Wizard to guide you through the activation and configuration process. Activation Wizard

Do not do anything to block the radio waves, for example by obstructing the antenna segment with your hand. NOTE Communication speeds and distances may vary depending on surrounding condi-
tions, such as the other device sending or receiving communications and the instal-
lation environment. It is a characteristic of radio waves that communication speeds will tend to decrease as the communication distance increases. We recommend that communications be-
tween Bluetooth devices be conducted in as close proximity as possible. Communication speeds may decrease if a microwave oven is being used nearby.

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 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 use this computer with a battery pack other than the one specified (the one included with the computer or the specified battery pack sold separately) 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 by using a particular battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharg-
ing 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. Leav-
ing 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. LCD

Some video files use a Codec that is not installed as a standard. In these cases, if you play back the video file after connecting to the Internet, the Codec may be downloaded auto-
matically, allowing you to play back the file. If you cannot start up a program or share files, this may be because the Firewall (Win-
dows Firewall) in the Windows Security Center is set to be enabled. If this function is set to be enabled, damage from viruses and other attacks is reduced, but some programs and functions cannot be operated. To use the program or to share files or printers:
You can use programs or other functions without the effects of the Windows Firewall by registering them as an exception in the Windows Firewall settings (it is not necessary to disable the Windows Firewall). Note, however, that if a program is registered as an exception, there is a risk of damage from viruses or other attacks. Before registering a program as an exception, confirm the programs safety with the manufacturer or other reliable source. 1 Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [Security Center] - [Windows Firewall]. 2 Select [Exceptions]. 3 To register a network game or other programs as an exception:
Select [Add Program], select the program, and select [OK]. To set access through a specified port as an exception:
Select [Add Port], set the port, and select [OK]. To set a file or printer as an exception:
Add the check mark for [File and Printer Sharing]. 4 Confirm that there is a check mark for the item to be set as an exception, and select [OK]. The Windows Firewall is a security function designed to protect your computer from unauthorized access via the Internet and other external networks. The firewall regulates the data exchanged between the computer and the external network, so that only approved data can pass through. We recommend that you use your computer with the Firewall enabled to minimize damage from viruses and other malicious attacks. When installing additional commercially available firewall software, we recommend that you disable the Windows Firewall settings, as the new software may interfere with the Windows Firewall functions. For details, refer to the manual accompanying the firewall software to be installed. Only Windows Update programs with a high level of priority will be automatically down-
loaded (or installed). Update programs with a comparatively low level of importance will not be downloaded
(or installed) automatically. Check regularly whether new update programs have become available. The Security Center warning function will not operate if you are using a network domain, for example at a company. Others (continued) Problem with Web page dis-

puter might be at risk is displayed In Windows XP, security functions have been strengthened with regard to Web contents. One of these is the Pop-up Blocker, which may prevent some Web pages from being displayed. If you have any problems with Web page displays (e.g., if a page cannot be displayed correctly on Internet Explorer), check the contents of the message window displayed be-

If you need to display the page, select the Web page link while pressing Ctrl . The pop-up blocker function will be temporarily disabled. In Windows XP, there is a function that blocks image displays in HTML e-mail messages. To display images in HTML e-mail messages, it is necessary to access the senders server, and this may cause problems in the computer. Preventing these images from appearing can decrease the risk of attack from viruses etc. If you need to display images, select the segment where the message Some pictures have been blocked? is displayed. The images can be displayed temporarily. If a message received in Outlook Express has contained an attachment file with an exten-
sion such as .exe or .scr (potentially unsafe files), Windows XP blocks those files. If you need to read the files, select [Tools] - [Options] - [Security] and remove the check mark from [Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus]. This message is displayed by the Security Center function in Windows XP. The Security Center is a function that monitors the level of safety in Windows security settings in order to operate the computer safely, for example, with regard to antivirus measures. It checks the following three items regularly, and displays messages until the settings are made at an appropriate level of safety. Firewall: Is the Windows Firewall enabled?
Automatic Updates: Is the automatic Windows Update function enabled?
Virus Protection: Has antivirus software been installed, has the latest version of the antivirus software been installed, and is the real-time search function enabled (ON)?
The message Your computer might be at risk is displayed by the Security Center function, and does not indicate an error or malfunction. The "Security Center" function checks the above three items to ensure that your computer can be used safely, and notifies the user if the settings are not at an appropriate level of safety.

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 operational 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 33). 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 malfunction, 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. To divide the partition, make the selection when the backup area is created (
page 38 step 8). 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 recovery 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 37 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 over-
written. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously in the backup area will be lost. Create a Backup Area 1 Turn off the computer and insert the CD/DVD drive into the multimedia pocket. (
