Your MD300 provides automatic fallback to UMTS where HSDPA is not available and to EDGE or GPRS service where UMTS is not available (network support required). This section describes the services that the MD300 supports:

High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) HSDPA is an enhancement to UMTS networks which enables the downlink speed to be dramatically increased; up to 3.6Mbps using the MD300. File downloads will be faster, whilst applications such as video streaming may operate at higher quality and greater reliability. The maximum speed available depends on the configuration of the mobile network and local conditions such as distance to the base station. Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) UMTS is a 3G technology standard for wide-area wireless data communication that is based on the GSM standard. The UMTS standard uses advanced network operator mobile Internet Overview 1 DRAFT services to achieve data transfer rates up to 384 kbps, which are ideal for media streaming, video MMS, internet shopping, and banking. Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput over GPRS by as much as three times, depending upon the network radio signal strength and quality. GPRS networks that are enhanced with EDGE are often referred to as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS) networks. EDGE provides the always on capability of GPRS but at faster speeds. 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. When EDGE is available you can expect increased speeds of up to 200 kbps, dependent on network coverage. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) GPRS is a type of network connection that provides always on mobility. The connection set up is fast. After you are connected, applications can send and receive data whenever required. In todays GPRS networks, the MD300 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds up to 26.8 kbps. Short Message Service (SMS) You can send and receive SMS text messages using the Text Messages window in Wireless Manager or other application software. MD300 Flash Drive The MD300 may be used as a flash memory drive. Once the MD300 is installed and functioning as a modem, you may use the memory space on the drive to store and transport your own files and media. Hardware overview Your Sony Ericsson MD300 uses the 5 volt power supply provided by the USB port.

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. Efficient use Do not cover the MD300 when in use, as this affects call quality. Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SAR Your Sony Ericsson MD300 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-Ionising 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. Additional information 11 DRAFT 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 modems are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines. More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found on:

www.sonyericsson.com. Personal medical devices Modems may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the MD300 and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited.
