4. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for details.
5. 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 operator’s network and registers 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.
Version 1.0

USER GUIDE
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 (page 8).

4.3. Running GlobeTrotter Connect
As soon as you plug in a compatible communications device (Card, USB
device…). GlobeTrotter Connect shows up in the Systray.
• Figure 10: GlobeTrotter Connect icon
GlobeTrotter Connect is now ready to make a connection. Don’t forget that
apart from the software the Option communications device also needs
to be ready. E.g. you can’t use the device while it isn’t registered to the
network or if the PIN code hasn’t been entered yet.
4.4. Entering your PIN code
If you have enabled the PIN code on your SIM card you will automatically
be asked to type it in. If enabled you won’t be able to use your data device
until you have typed in the PIN code. This will happen every time you
power up the device.
• Figure 11: Pin Code Dialog
4.5. Checking Status
Once the PIN code is entered (or immediately if you have disabled the PIN
code) the device will look for the network. You can check the status by
moving your mouse pointer over the GlobeTrotter Connect icon to get a
quick status report showing the network name, technology being used and
the signal quality:

also specify a user name and password if required).
Most users will never have to change this setting. If you have
entered the APN manually a button saying Automatic will appear
next to the Save button. If you press this button the software will
try to ‘guess’ the APN needed based on your SIM.
Version 1.0
Option Datacards GlobeTrotter Express HSUPA and GT MAX HSUPA
5.3.2. Enable / Disable the Pin Code
By clicking on ‘Enabled’ or ‘Disabled’ you can enable or disable
the PIN code on your SIM. For security reasons you will have to
provide the PIN code before you can disable the PIN code. If you
enable the PIN code you’ll have to enter a new code.
5.3.3. Technology Selection
Most of the time you should allow your data product to decide
what technology to use. Sometimes local conditions will make
connecting to the Internet difficult and the default setting “UMTS
Preferred” may not give optimum performance.
In these circumstances you can experiment by forcing the data
connection on to “UMTS Only” or “GPRS Only”. Remember to
switch back the setting to “UMTS Preferred” when conditions
change.

Option Datacards GlobeTrotter Express HSUPA and GT MAX HSUPA
1. Introduction
This document contains very important information about the safe
operation of your Option datacard. We recommend you to read this
entire document before using the card. Ignoring these guidelines may
be dangerous or illegal.
1.1. Your Datacard is like a Mobile Phone
Your datacard uses the same technology as a mobile phone. It is
important that you always obey all safety regulations related to mobile
phone use. If you have any doubt about the safe operation of your
datacard, you should remove the datacard from the PC and seek advice
from authorized personnel.
2.	Safety Measures
Please read the following guidelines carefully. Not following these
guidelines can cause harm to the card, yourself or other persons.
2.1. General recommendations for use
•
•
•
•
•
•
Always treat your product with care and keep in a clean and dust-free
place. Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.
Do not expose to liquid, moisture or humidity. Do not expose the
datacard to rain, or other liquids.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.
Do not paint your product.
Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Doing so may be
dangerous and it will void the warranty.
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Version 1.0
26
USER GUIDE
2.2. Traveling
Handle the card with care while traveling. It is recommended to remove
the card from the laptop.
2.3. Ambient Temperature
Do not expose the datacard or the antenna to ambient temperatures
beyond the range of -25 to +50 degrees Celsius.
2.4. Explosive atmospheres
Turn off your PC in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
It is rare, but your PC could generate sparks, which could cause an
explosion or fire. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not
always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas ( petrol filling
stations ), below deck 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 your PC and
accessories in the compartment of a vehicle, which contains flammable
gas, liquid or explosives.
2.5. Blasting areas – Construction sites
Turn off your PC when in a blasting area in order to avoid interfering
with two - way radios used in blasting operations.
2.6. Do not use on aircraft
Using wireless devices on aircraft can cause interference and is illegal.
Remove your datacard if you intend to use your PC whilst in an aircraft.
Do not use it when the plane is on the ground without permission from
the aircraft crew.
Version 1.0
27
Option Datacards GlobeTrotter Express HSUPA and GT MAX HSUPA
2.7 Do not use in hospitals
Please ensure you follow any local regulations or rules. People are often
asked to switch off all electronic devices in some areas of a hospital;
this is a recommendation that Option fully supports. Using a datacard
close to sensitive electronic devices could possibly result in interference.
If you intend to use your PC in such areas, you must remove the
datacard.
2.8 Interference from radio signals
Option relies on advice from health authorities an relevant expert bodies
about potential undesired responses to radio emissions from datacards.
2.9 Immunity to Interference
Electromagnetic interference is the disturbance of the normal operation
of a device due to its undesired response to radio signals from an
external source. Occasionally in some situations, you may hear short
sounds coming from audio equipment such as radio or multimedia PC.
However, these audible signals do not interfere with the operation of the
equipment.
The 1989 Directive from the European Commission ( 89 / 336 / ECC ) 13
governing all forms of electronic equipment concerns interference that
such equipment produces and its immunity to interference from outside.
Any equipment compliant with that directive is unlikely to suffer
interference. All wireless devices may get interference, which could
affect performance.
Version 1.0
28
USER GUIDE
2.10. Cardiac Pacemakers, Implanted Defibrillators & Other
medical implant devices
It is possible that some datacards may interfere with some types of
pacemakers or implanted defibrillators when operated close to the
implanted device. You should seek advice from your doctor that is
specific to the implant before using the datacard. Health authorities in
many countries have set up advisory services for medical devices and
implants including providing advice about maintaining separation
distance between datacards or other radio frequency equipment and the
implant. Option operating companies reflect the advice given by their
relevant health authority or national advisory service and / or as a
minimum indicate a separation distance of at least 20 cm between
datacards or other radio frequency equipment and the embedded device.
2.11. Hearing devices
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience
interfering noises when using mobile devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of datacard, the type of
hearing device and the distance between the two. Increasing the
distance between the datacard and hearing device may reduce
interference.
2.12. Children
Do not allow children to play with your datacard. They could hurt
themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the datacard. Your
datacard also contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an
injury or which could become detached and create a choking hazard.

2.13. Driving
Do not use data card while driving; park the vehicle first.
2.14. SIM cards
To protect against damage from electronic discharge (ESD) do not touch
the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that the
datacard is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM
card.
2.15. Accessories
Only use Option approved accessories. Do not connect with
incompatible products. When used with accessories such as external
antennas, Option can only guarantee safe and correct operation of our
products if the accessories are tested and approved by us.
To comply with international safety requirements; when using an Option
approved external antenna, you must ensure that it is kept from the
body at a distance greater than 20 cm.
2.16. Safe Distance
We advise the end-user to keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between
him and the device.
The datacard has been thoroughly tested to comply with SAR
requirements. These tests simulate the absorption by the human body
of radiation from the datacard.
The SAR limit as defined by the European Council Recommendation is
2,0 W/kg for a mass of 10g (R&TTE Directive 1999 519 EC). The SAR
measurements where performed at a distance of 15 mm from a

simulated human body, as required by the Vodafone Test Specification
(VFTST_1.901_SAR_Data-cards-V1.0).
For FCC, the measurements were made according to the Supplement C
to OET Bulletin 65 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Guidelines [OET 65] for evaluating compliance of mobile and portable
devices with FCC limits for human exposure (general population) to
radiofrequency emissions. The device was tested in lap held position with
the bottom of the computer in direct contact against the flat phantom.
These guidelines define a limit of 1,6 W/kg averaged over a mass of 1 g.
The power maximums measured for a mass of 10 g (European bands)
and a mass of 1 g (American bands) are:

Based on these results, we state that the Option datacard complies with
SAR requirements.
For day-to-day use, we would advise the user to keep a minimum
distance from the antenna of 20 cm. When using an external antenna,
it is advised to use the same safety distance of 20 cm from the external
antenna.
2.17. Supply voltage
The Express card has to be supplied by a limited power source
according to EN 60950 -1: 2001.
