Connecting the Optional Headset
To make or receive voice calls, you will need to connect the headset (not supplied) to the
connector on the GSM/GPRS Compact Flash Card.
Battery Operation (Optional Purchase)
Prior to using the optional GSM/GPRS Compact Flash Card Battery, charge the new battery for a
minimum of 24 hours to obtain a full charge. The GSM/GPRS Compact Flash Card derives its
power from a self-contained battery pack in installed to ensure that the card does not consume
any power from the PDA or laptop. If the optional battery is not used, the GSM/GPRS Compact
Flash Card derives its power from the PDA or Laptop battery and will reduce the usable life for
those devices while the GSM/GPRS Compact Flash Card is operating.
Once charged, the GSM/GPRS Compact Flash Card Battery should operate for 6-8 hrs under the
normal transmit and receive operating conditions. In the event of a low battery, connect the
charger (included with battery purchase) to the battery DC input power jack.
