@ctiveLink Module
Glenayre’s @ctiveLinkTM SpringboardTM Expansion Module converts your VisorTM Handheld
into an interactive mobile communication device. The @ctiveLink module works both indoors
and out, giving you a reliable, wireless connection to your office, home, and the internet.
The @ctiveLink module is constantly on and communicating, giving you access to any Internet-
based messaging and information services your wireless carrier supports. When you insert it into
the Springboard expansion slot, the Visor Handheld’s user interface screen displays your
incoming communications and lets you compose and send your own messages.
Even when the the @ctiveLink module is removed from the Visor Handheld, it maintains your
wireless link. It continues to collect new messages, storing them in the module’s onboard
memory. It uses flashing LEDs and/or optional audible alerts to notify you of message arrival.
