MERLIN U740 USER GUIDE 28  GU-90023            Revision A   4 DETERMINE MERLIN STATES  In This Section   • Determine the current state of your UMTS Merlin, by interpreting the cadence (flashing sequence) and  colour of the Light Emitting Diode    The Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a device that lights up when power is applied to it.  Interpreting the LED’s flashing sequence and color, will provide you with the current state of your UMTS Merlin.  See Table 1 below.  Cadence (flashing sequence) LED Display  Merlin State  Cause  Remedy  (1/4sec) 250ms ON  (1/4sec) 250ms OFF  RED Merlin trying to read SIM  The modem is unable to read the SIM. An error has occurred in the modem firmware. See Section 5, Problem 5 ON (Not flashing)  RED  Merlin Searching for wireless service  The Merlin is not receiving a signal from the wireless network See Section 5, Problem 6 (1/4sec) 250ms ON (1 3/4sec) 1750ms OFF  BLUE Your Merlin is currently receiving a UMTS circuit switched (CS) signal from the network and has registered on the circuit switched (CS) domain    (1/4sec) 250ms ON  (1/4sec) 250ms OFF  (1/4sec) 250ms ON (1 3/4sec) 1750ms OFF BLUE Your Merlin is currently receiving a UMTS packet switched (PS) signal from the network and has registered on the packet switched (PS) domain (also CS i.e PS or PS+CS )   ON (Not flashing)  BLUE  Your Merlin is currently PDP context activated on the UMTS system.    (1/4sec) 250ms ON (1 3/4sec) 1750ms OFF  GREEN Your Merlin is currently receiving a GSM circuit switched (CS) signal from the network and has registered on the GSM circuit switched (CS) domain   (1/4sec) 250ms ON  (1/4sec) 250ms OFF  (1/4sec) 250ms ON (1 3/4sec) 1750ms OFF GREEN Your Merlin is currently receiving a GSM/GPRS packet switched (PS) signal from the network and has registered on the GSM/GPRS packet switched (PS) domain. (also CS i.e PS or CS)    ON (Not flashing)  GREEN  Your Merlin is currently PDP (Packet Data Protocol) context activated on the GSM/GPRS system
MERLIN U740 USER GUIDE 29  GU-90023            Revision A   NOTE:  WHEN THE MODEM TRANSITIONS FROM ONE STATE TO ANOTHER, THE ACTUAL LED DISPLAY WILL NOT CHANGE IMMEDIATELY, RATHER, IT WILL ONLY CHANGE ONCE THE MODEM HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE NEW STATE IS VALID.  FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THE MODEM IS TAKEN OUT OF A SERVICE AREA IT MIGHT TAKE THE MODEM 10 TO 90 SECONDS TO CONFIRM THAT NO SERVICE IS AVAILABLE AT WHICH TIME THE LED DISPLAY WILL CHANGE STATES ACCORDINGLY  PDP (Packet Data Protocol) Context Activation Process:  To connect to a PDN (Packet Data Network), such as the Internet, some sort of session description information needs to exist (i.e. type of IP network, quality of service, IP address etc…) to enable agreement on the characteristics of any data flow between the network and the mobile terminal.  This is essentially, what PDP ‘context’ activation is.  Circuit Switched (CS) Data connection is basically similar to a land line modem dial up call.  A dedicated connection is set up for the duration of the call regardless of whether data is transferred or not.  A Packet Switched (PS) Data connection is typically set up once.  Within packet-switched networks, data is divided (disassembled and packaged) into packets before it is sent.  Packets are routed through the networks based on a destination address contained within each packet.  Once all the packets arrive at their respective destinations, the data is recompiled (unpacked and assembled).  There is no need to re-establish the connection before each transmission.

MERLIN U740 USER GUIDE 40  GU-90023            Revision A   7 SAFETY AND REGULATIONS  In This Section   • Wireless Communication • Safety and Hazards • Regulatory Information   This section will inform you of the important safety measures you should be aware, including the standards that the modem complies to. 7.1 WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS IMPORTANT NOTICE Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data can occasionally be lost or delayed.  This can be due to the variation in radio signal strength that results from changes in the characteristics of the radio transmission path.  Although data loss is rare, the environment where you operate the modem may adversely affect communications. Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading.  Fading is caused by several different factors including signal reflection, the ionosphere, and interference from other radio channels.   Novatel Wireless or its partners will not be held responsible for damages of any kind resulting from the delays or errors in data transmitted or received with the Merlin U740, or failure of the Merlin U740 to transmit or receive such data 7.2 SAFETY HAZARDS Do not operate the Merlin U740 in an environment that may be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger specifically;  ¾ Areas where prohibited by the law o Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn off the host device and remove the modem from the card slot when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.  ¾ Where explosive atmospheres may be present o Do not operate your modem in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs and instructions.  o Users are advised not to operate the modem while at a refuelling point or service station. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.   o Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
MERLIN U740 USER GUIDE 41  GU-90023            Revision A   ¾ Near Medical and life support equipment o Do not operate your modem in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or near any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications device must be turned off. The modem may transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.   ¾ On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne o In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane. Please ensure that the host device is turned off and your modem is removed from the card slot prior to boarding aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.   ¾ While operating a vehicle o The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.  ¾ Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) o Electrical and electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).  The MobiLink software will attempt to re-initialize the device should a substantial electrostatic discharge reset the device.  If the software is not operational after an ESD occurance, then restart MobiLink.

MERLIN U740 USER GUIDE 44  GU-90023            Revision A   WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE YOURSELF. SUCH ACTION MAY VOID THE WARRANTY. THE MERLIN PC CARD MODEM OEM IS FACTORY TUNED. NO CUSTOMER CALIBRATION OR TUNING IS REQUIRED. CONTACT NOVATEL WIRELESS TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR INFORMATION ABOUT SERVICING YOUR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE.  FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.   NOTE: The Radio Frequency (RF) emitter installed in your modem must not be located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, unless specifically authorized by Novatel Wireless Technologies.   MODIFICATIONS: The FCC requires that you be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Novatel Wireless, Inc. may void your authority to operate the equipment.   7.4 REGULATORY NOTICES This product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for exposure to radio waves.  FCC Equipment Authorization ID: NBZNRM-U740  Your wireless modem is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.  The exposure standard for wireless devices including mobile phones and wireless modems uses a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the device under test transmitting at its highest certified power level in all frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone or modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone or modem is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.  Before this device is made available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear or worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.  The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless modem with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.  The highest SAR value for this modem when tested for compliance against FCC standards was 0.857W/kg
MERLIN U740 USER GUIDE 45  GU-90023            Revision A   8 APPENDIX A 8.1 UNLOCKING A SIMLOCKED MODEM WITH MOBILINK   The term SIMLOCK is often used by the industry when a modem/data card is configured for use only with SIMs of a particular carrier.  Technically speaking, when a modem/data card is SIMLOCKED it is actually NETWORK LOCKED.  Carriers usually request specific configurations for the modem/data card, one of which is for the modem to be SIMLOCKED.  An algorithm generates a Mobile Equipment Personalization code (MEP), which de-activates the mechanism that restricts the modem to SIMs of a particular carrier.   Novatel Wireless cannot, and does not provide the MEP code.  Any request for the MEP code configuration must be made through the carrier from whom the modem or data card was purchased.    If your modem/ data card is SIMLOCKED, and you have obtained the MEP code from your carrier or service provider, follow the steps below to unlock it.   1. Launch MobiLink .  See section "Creating a data session" if necessary. 2. MobiLink will initialize the card, and might ask you for a PIN code.  Enter PIN code in the box and click OK.  This code is particular to your SIM and is different from your MEP code.  See Figure 47.   FIGURE 47  3. MobiLink will now request the MEP code.  Enter MEP code and click OK.  See Figure 48.             FIGURE 48
MERLIN U740 USER GUIDE 46  GU-90023            Revision A    4. After approximately 30 seconds MobiLink will request that you enter the SIM PIN again.  As in step 2 .  See Figure 41 above. Enter PIN code in the box and click OK.   5. After a little while the Modem/data card should start searching for available networks.  At this point you have successfully unlocked the modem/data card.  NOTE:  YOU ONLY HAVE TO ENTER THE MEP CODE ONCE AND THE MODEM/DATA CARD WILL BE PERMANENTLY UNLOCKED.
