Installation

The Wireless Manager CD-ROM contains the software required to operate your EDGE PC Card. The software is simple to set up and operate, but before you begin you will need to make sure that the services you require are included on your SIM card subscription. For an explanation of the services that are available see Network and Subscription on page 7. Contact the organization that supplied you with your SIM card and request that the specific services (EDGE, GPRS, CSD or SMS) you require are added to your subscription. The CD-ROM contains the following software: Wireless Manager User Documentation On-line Help ReadMe text file containing the latest information about the EDGE PC Card
EDGE PC Card Hardware Set Up
1. Collect your EDGE PC Card, antenna and SIM card together. 2. Insert your SIM card into the slot on the back of EDGE PC Card, with the gold contacts facing downwards. Note:
The cut corner of the SIM card must be placed into the PC card as demonstrated below, the gold contacts should face downwards.
3. Connect the antenna to the end of the EDGE PC Card.
If the antenna obstructs the use of your keyboard, try turning it to a horizontal position for better service. To use the PCMCIA slot for another device, remove the EDGE card as instructed in Safe Removal of the EDGE PC Card on page 13, then insert the other device. When the EDGE PC Card isn't in use it is recommended that you store it in the protective carrier box provided. The unit, especially the antenna could be damaged if it remains in PC.

Important!

Do not insert the card into the laptop until you have installed the software from the CD-ROM. Simply cancel the New Hardware wizard if the card is accidentally inserted prior to software installation.
