The SAMBA 75 is a Plug-and-Play, compact, light-weight, wireless modem that provides EDGE, GPRS and GSM connectivity for portable, handheld computers and others. The SAMBA 75 maintains the same form-factor of the well-known SAMBA GSM/GPRS modem. The major benefit over earlier SAMBA GSM/GPRS modem is that SAMBA 75 supports EDGE and additionally offers a TCP/IP stack. The SAMBA 75 modem is designed to place and receive data calls but not voice calls. SAMBA 75 allows subscribers to send and receive data, including digital images, web pages and photographs, with a transfer rate three times higher than possible with GSM/GPRS sevices. It supports Data, SMS, fax as well as it offers a choice of seven different ringing tones/melodies, which are easily selectable using AT command. It can be easily controlled by using AT commands for all kinds of operations. The SAMBA 75 is designed for use on any GSM network in the world, it is a Quad-Band EDGE and GSM/GPRS engine that works on the four frequencies GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz and it can be used in all existing GSM networks in Europe, the U.S.A. and Asia. This full type approved integrated modem constitutes a self contained, fully integrated implementation of the GSM/GPRS and EDGE functionalities. The SAMBA 75 provides an integrated SIM card reader and an internal GSM antenna. The physical interface to the modem application is made through an embedded USB connector. It consists of 4 pins, required for controlling the unit, transferring data and providing power supply lines. The embedded USB interface allows it direct connection to a USB serial port of desktop or notebook computers. The SAMBA 75 features GPRS multi-slot class 12 and supports the GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. The SAMBA 75 equipment supports GPRS Class-B. This means, that the Mobile Station can set up a GSM call (CSD or fax) while it is GPRS attached. The SAMBA 75 features EDGE multi-slot class 10 and supports the modulation and coding schemes MCS-1 … MCS-9. About GPRS GPRS is a high-speed, data-only service that is an add-on to the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) cellular network - a type of network used to provide cellular phone service. The SAMBA 75 Modem provides reliable data connections to GPRS 850 MHz (GSM), GPRS 850 (GSM), 1800 MHz (DCS) and 1900 MHz (PCS) networks. When in regions where GPRS is not available, user can still establish 14.4 kbps GSM data connections. About EDGE Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a third-generation (3G) high-speed mobile data and Internet access technology, with theoretical peak rates of 473 kbps and average throughput of 110-130 kbps.

Page 7 SAMBA 75 USER’S GUIDE VERSION 1.01 1 SECURITY IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE! Your cellular engine SAMBA 75 is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services and others, wherever service is provided. This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the SAMBA 75 modem. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engine SAMBA 75. 1.1 General information Your SAMBA 75 device utilizes the GSM standard for cellular technology. GSM is a newer radio frequency („RF“) technology than the current FM technology that has been used for radio communications for decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European community and elsewhere. Your SAMBA 75 is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem. 1.2 Exposure to RF energy There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a GSM modem. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit for use. If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the guidelines below. 1.3 Efficient modem operation In order to operate your modem at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality please take note of the following hints. If your modem has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your modem operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended. Do not hold the antenna when the modem is „IN USE“. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a higher power level than needed. 1.4 Antenna care and replacement Do not use the modem with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If This confidential document is a property of FALCOM GmbH and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission. Page 8 SAMBA 75 USER’S GUIDE VERSION 1.01 so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician. Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the modem and may contravene local RF emission regulations or invalidate type approval. 1.5 Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your modem while driving, please pay full attention to driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobile use they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current law! 1.6 Electronic devices Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment. 1.7 Vehicle electronic equipment Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy. 1.8 Medical electronic equipment Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Turn your SAMBA 75 device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment. 1.9 Aircraft Turn your SAMBA 75 OFF before boarding any aircraft. Use it on the ground only with crew permission. Do not use it in the air. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your modem while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem whilst airborne. 1.10 Children Do not allow children to play with your SAMBA 75 device. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the modem or make calls that increase your modem bills. This confidential document is a property of FALCOM GmbH and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission. Page 9 SAMBA 75 USER’S GUIDE VERSION 1.01 1.11 Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: „turn off two-way radio“. Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to set off explosives. 1.12 Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn your SAMBA 75 device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle, which contains your modem or accessories. Before using your modem in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used. 1.13 Non-ionizing radiation The antenna is mounted in such a position that no part of the human body will normally rest close to any part of the antenna. It is also recommended to use the equipment not close to medical devices as for example hearing aids and pacemakers.

Page 17 SAMBA 75 USER’S GUIDE VERSION 1.01 5 GSM/GPRS APPLICATION INTERFACE 5.1 Description of operating modes The chapter below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to the following chapters. Definition of the GPRS class B mode of operation: The definition of GPRS class B mode is, that the MS can be attached to both GPRS and other GSM services, but the MS can only operate one set of services at a time. Class B enables making or receiving a data call, or sending/receiving a SMS during a GPRS connection. During data calls or SMS, GPRS services are suspended and then resumed automatically after the call or SMS session has been ended. 5.1.1 Normal mode operation 5.1.1.1 GSM/GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN command, see related documents [3]. Software is active to minimum extent. If the module was registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is registered and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too. Power saving can be chosen at different levels: The NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The CYCLIC SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=5,6,7,8 and 9 alternatively activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to allow permanent access to all AT commands. 5.1.1.2 GSM IDLE Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network, paging with BTS is carried out. The module is ready to send and receive. 5.1.1.3 GPRS/EDGE IDLE Module is ready for GPRS/EDGE data transfer, but no data is currently sent or received. Power consumption depends on the network settings and the GPRS/EDGE configuration (e.g. multislot settings). 5.1.1.4 GPRS/EDGE DATA GPRS/EDGE data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on the network settings (e.g. power control level), uplink/downlink data rates and GPRS/EDGE the configuration (e.g. used multislot settings). 5.1.2 Power down Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command. The Power Supply ASIC (PSU-ASIC) disconnects the supply voltage from the base band part of the circuit. Only a voltage regulator in the PSU-ASIC is active for powering the RTC. Software is This confidential document is a property of FALCOM GmbH and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission. Page 18 SAMBA 75 USER’S GUIDE VERSION 1.01 not active. The serial interfaces are not accessible. Operating voltage remains applied. 5.1.3 Alarm mode Alarm mode restricted operation launched by RTC alert function while the module is in POWER DOWN mode. Module will not be registered to GSM network. Limited number of AT commands is accessible. 5.2 Power Up / Power Down Scenarios In general, be sure not to turn on SAMBA 75 while it is beyond the safety limits of voltage and temperature. SAMBA 75 would immediately switch off after having started and detected these inappropriate conditions. In extreme cases this can cause permanent demage to the module. 5.2.1 Turn on SAMBA 75 SAMBA 75 can be started in a variety of ways as described in the following sections: • Power up the modem by connecting it to a PC’s USB port (see section 6.2.1.1) • Software controlled reset by AT+CFUN command (see section 5.2.1.1) After startup or mode change the following URCs indicate the module’s ready state: • “^SYSSTART” indicates that the module has entered Normal mode. Detailed explanations on AT^SCFG, AT+CFUN, AT+CALA can be found in [3]. 5.2.1.1 Reset SAMBA 75 via AT+CFUN Command To reset and restart the SAMBA 75 use the command AT+CFUN. You can enter AT+CFUN=,1 or AT+CFUN=x,1, where x may be in the range from 0 to 9. See [3] for details. If configured to a fix baud rate (AT+IPR≠0), the modem will send the URC “^SYSSTART” to notify that it is ready to operate. If autobauding is enabled (AT+IPR=0) there will be no notification. To register to the network SIM PIN authentication is necessary after restart. 5.2.2 Turn off SAMBA 75 SAMBA 75 can be turned off as follows: 5.2.2.1 • Normal shutdown: Software controlled by AT^SMSO command • Automatic shutdown: Takes effect if board temperature is out of range or if undervoltage or overvoltage conditions occur. Turn off SAMBA 75 Using AT Command The best and safest approach to powering down SAMBA 75 is to issue the AT^SMSO command. This procedure lets SAMBA 75 log off from the network and allows the software to enter into a secure state and safe data before disconnecting the power This confidential document is a property of FALCOM GmbH and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission. Page 19 SAMBA 75 USER’S GUIDE VERSION 1.01 supply. The mode is referred to as Power-down mode. In this mode, only the RTC stays active. Before switching off the device sends the following response: ^SMSO: MS OFF OK ^SHUTDOWN After sending AT^SMSO do not enter any other AT commands. There are two ways to verify when the module turns off: • Wait for the URC “^SHUTDOWN”. It indicates that data have been stored non-volatile and the module turns off in less than 1 second. Be sure not to disconnect the supply voltage (SMABA75 modem) before the URC “^SHUTDOWN” has been issued. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data. While SAMBA 75 is in Power-down mode the application interface is switched off. 5.2.3 Automatic Shutdown Automatic shutdown takes effect if • the SAMBA 75 board is exceeding overtemperature or undertemperature the critical limits of The automatic shutdown procedure is equivalent to the Power-down initiated with the AT^SMSO command, i.e. SAMBA 75 logs off from the network and the software enters a secure state avoiding loss of data. Alert messages transmitted before the device switches off are implemented as Unsolicited Result Codes (URCs). The presentation of these URCs can be enabled or disabled with the two AT commands AT^SBC and AT^SCTM. For further instructions of the AT commands refer to [3]. 5.3 Automatic EGPRS/GPRS Multislot Class Change Temperature control is also effective for operation in EGPRS Multislot Class 10, GPRS Multislot Class 10 and GPRS Multislot Class 12. If the board temperature increases to the limit specified for restricted operation1) while data are transmitted over EGPRS or GPRS, the module automatically reverts: • from EDGE Multislot Class 10 (2 Tx slots) to EEDGE Multislot Class 8 (1 Tx), • from GPRS Multislot Class 12 (4 Tx slots) to GPRS Multislot Class 8 (1 Tx) • from GPRS Multislot Class 10 (2 Tx slots) to GPRS Multislot Class 8 (1 Tx) This reduces the power consumption and, consequently, causes the board’s temperature to decrease. Once the temperature drops to a value of 5 degrees below the limit of restricted operation, SAMBA 75 returns to the higher Multislot Class. If the temperature stays at the critical level or even continues to rise, SAMBA 75 will not switch back to the higher class. After a transition from EGPRS Multislot Class 10 to EGPRS Multislot Class 8 a possible switchback to EGPRS Multislot Class 10 is blocked for one minute. The same applies when a transition occurs from GPRS Multislot Class 12 or 10 to GPRS Multislot Class 8. Please note that there is not one single cause of switching over to a lower Multislot Class. Rather it is the result of an interaction of several factors, such as the board temperature that depends largely on the ambient temperature, the operating mode and the transmit power. Furthermore, take into account that there is a delay until the network proceeds to a lower or, accordingly, This confidential document is a property of FALCOM GmbH and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission. Page 20 SAMBA 75 USER’S GUIDE VERSION 1.01 higher Multislot Class. The delay time is network dependent. In extreme cases, if it takes too much time for the network and the temperature cannot drop due to this delay, the module may even switch off.

Page 28 SAMBA 75 USER’S GUIDE VERSION 1.01 8 APPENDIX 8.1 Troubleshooting In the unlikely event that you have problems using your SAMBA 75 phone, the following may solve or help to identify the problem. 1. General Checks If SAMBA 75 phone does not appear to be working correctly: Check if there is a SIM installed. The delivered driver must be installed before begin to work. Check if the USB connector is properly plugged in. If the modem status indicator (labelled ERR) continually lights: Maybe, the included USB driver which allocates a USB serial port is not installed to the control host device yet, if that is true, disconnect the SAMBA 75 from host device and plug it again, and then install the included driver. If the modem does not response to the terminal program: Check if the USB connector is properly plugged in. Disconnect it and connect it again. 2. It does not work when I travel. To use a GSM network outside your own country your account needs to be enabled for International Roaming. If this has not been done, contact your GSM provider. When in regions where GPRS is not available, a user can still access their important information with GSM 14.4 kbps data connections. 3. I can not make data or fax calls Some GSM networks require your SAMBA 75 phone account to be enabled for data and/or fax. If you do not know whether this applies to you, please check with your GSM provider.. 4. I can not receive data or faxes Check if your application is running. To receive faxes you need special software, for example, WinFax™ software. Most GSM networks supply different phone numbers for fax and data. Contact your GSM provider for the numbers and ensure that the fax and data calls being made to these, not to the voice call number. 5. GPRS connection is slow and unstable Disconnect and connect again. You may be switched to a better network trunk line with better communication quality. If the problem persists, avoid using GPRS connection during the time when network traffic is overloaded, or move to a location where signal reception is better.
