Welcome
GlobeTrotter Express 7.2
The GlobeTrotter Express 7.2 is the next generation of wireless data card designed by
Option to be compatible with 3G networks supporting the higher data rates of up to 7.2
Mbps using HSDPA technology.
Your GlobeTrotter Express 7.2 includes Advanced Receiver Technology (ART) bringing
the benefit of Receive Diversity and Receive Equalization. These technologies are
essential for maximizing the range and speed of HSDPA 3.6/7.2. Backward compatibility
ensures HSDPA operation at 1.8 Mbps and UMTS operation at 384 kbps is still possible.
For when 3G services are not available in your area the GlobeTrotter Express has inbuilt support for Quad-band EDGE and GPRS giving speeds up to 247 kbps.

Worldwide coverage through triple-band HSDPA/UMTS and quad-band EDGE/GSM
Advanced Receiver Technology incorporating Receiver Diversity and Equalization
Patented Zero-CD Plug ‘n’ Play technology
HSDPA and UMTS High-speed data (up to 7.2 Mbps) connectivity for mobile users
EDGE/GPRS/GSM data (up to 247 kbps) connectivity
Transparent handover between UMTS and GSM/E-GPRS networks
Compatible with nearly all popular notebook PCs equipped with ExpressCard34 slot and
Microsoft Windows/Mac OS X operating system
Transparent support for IPSec and VPN technology.
System Requirements
A computer loaded with an Operating System that is Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Mac
OS X and has been fitted with a Cardbus compatible PC-Card interface.
Installation and Operation
Please refer to the Quick Install Guide for details.
Principle of operation
To connect to the Internet you need a SIM and an account from your network operator
that allows Internet access.
Fitting the SIM, inserting the card into your laptop and deploying the antenna is all that is
required to get the card working. If the SIM requires a PIN code then the application
controlling the datacard will ask for the PIN. The datacard then searches for your

operators network and register on it. You can monitor the status of the datacard by
looking at the LEDs. Use the application provided with the card to connect to the
Internet.
As you change location or the amount of traffic on the network changes you may see that
the LED switches between RED and BLUE, this tells you that the card has switched
between 2G and 3G technology. This is normal and happens automatically, according to
the rules broadcast by the network. Your connection to the Internet should continue but
of course the speed of operation will change.
To disconnect from the Internet you use the application provided.
To remove the card from its slot you should use the safe removal procedure detailed later
in this manual.
Adjusting the antenna
The GlobeTrotter Express 7.2 is equipped with a foldout antenna. For best operation the
antenna should be used as shown in this picture:

The LEDs on the datacard provide a lot of information. How they flash will tell you what
is going on.
