9.1 Product Features
• Easy installation
• Simple intuitive user interface
• Compatible with most modern desktop and laptop PCs equipped with Microsoft Windows
®
2000, Windows
®
XP and Windows Vista
®
9.2 Short Description And Intended Use
The GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 application is a small, easy to use tool to manage your connection to the Internet
over 2G and 3G mobile networks. It is designed for use with all of Option
®
’s data products.
9.2.1 Basic Use
The focus is on simplicity and most users will use it only in basic mode, where it displays a window with network
information and a Connect button. The main purpose is therefore simply to Connect/Disconnect to and from the
Internet.
Figure 1: GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 Basic View
While GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 is connected the ‘Connection Time’, ‘Volume’ and Current Data speed’ are
displayed in the area just above the status bar. An arrow up followed by the upload speed in Kbit/s and an arrow
pointing down followed by the download speed.
9.3 Installing And Setting Up Globetrotter
®
Connect 3
9.3.1 Installation
Your GlobeTrotter

technology, and the GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3
application is installed as soon as you insert the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 in to your laptop for the first time.
If your machine has CD-auto run disabled you will need to start the installation yourself:
View the Zero-CD
®
folder that has now appeared on your machine
Windows
®
- look in “My Computer” for the Zero-CD
®
drive, Mac
®

®
Express 441/2, GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 shows up in the Systray.
Figure 5: GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3
GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 is now ready to make a connection. Don’t forget that apart from the software, the
GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 also needs to be ready. E.g. you can’t use the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 when
it isn’t registered to a network or if the PIN code hasn’t been entered yet.
GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 User Guide
Version: v017ext Page: 15 of 28
9.3.4 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 GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 until you have typed in the PIN code. This will happen
every time you power up the device.
Figure 6: Pin Code Dialog
9.3.5 Checking Status
Once the PIN code is entered (or immediately if you have disabled the PIN code), the GlobeTrotter
®
Express
441/2 will look for the network. You can check the status by moving your mouse pointer over the GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 to get a quick status report showing the network name, technology being used and the signal quality:
Figure 7: Network Information Balloon
If GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 is opened, you can see the signal strength immediately in the lower right corner. If
you need to know the signal strength more accurately (e.g. in fringe areas you may want to determine the
location where you have the best reception) double-click on the signal strength indicator to see an enlarged
view of the signal strength indicator.
Figure 8: Signal Strength Indicator
The indicator next to the signal strength shows 3G if you have 3G coverage. Once you have a connection, the
indicator shows HS if an HSUPA (HS) connection was established.

9.3.6 Exit GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3
When you click or , this doesn’t kill the application. It just retreats to the Systray (see Figure
5: GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3). This behavior is equivalent to other Windows
®
applications such as MSN

Figure 10: Exit GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3
9.4 Setting Up A Connection To The Internet
When you want to connect to the Internet you need to specify how you want to connect. You can do this in the
settings screen (see the “Changing the program options” section of this manual, section 9.4.3).
As your mobile operator often preconfigures GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 for you the settings may already be in
there.
9.4.1 Connecting to the Internet
To connect to the Internet simply click on the “GlobeTrotter Connect” in the Systray (see screenshot) to display
its menu. Click “Connect” to start the Internet connection.
Figure 11: Connect
If software has not been configured, connecting to the Internet will fail. In this case refer to the “Changing the
program options” section of this manual, section 9.4.3.

9.4.2 Disconnecting
To disconnect, click on the Systray to show the menu and select the “Disconnect” option.
Figure 12: Disconnect
9.4.3 Changing the program options
Although GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 is simple and straightforward, it has a number of items that need to be
configured at least once (either preconfigured by the operator or manually by the user).
To change the settings, launch the GlobeTrotter
®
Connect 3 main window. You can do this by double clicking on
the Systray or by selecting “Open GlobeTrotter Connect” from the Systray menu.

Express 441/2 User Guide
Version: v017ext Page: 18 of 28
9.4.3.1 APN
The Access Point Name (APN) defines your route to the Internet. Your mobile operator can supply the APN
(some operators may 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.
9.4.3.2 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.
9.4.3.3 Technology Selection
It is recommended that you allow your GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 to decide what technology to use to
connect to the Internet. Sometimes local conditions will make connecting difficult and the default setting
“Automatic” may not give optimum performance.
In these circumstances you can experiment by forcing the data connection on to “3G Only” or “EDGE/GPRS
Only”. Remember to switch back the setting to “Automatic” when conditions change.

yourself or other persons.
1.1 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 GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 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. (This is located either inside the product or as an external antenna.)
1.2 Traveling: Handle the datacard with care while traveling. It is recommended to remove the datacard from the
laptop.
1.3 Ambient temperatures: Do not expose the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 or the antenna to ambient
temperatures beyond the range of -10 and +55 degrees Celsius.
1.4 Explosive atmosphere: 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.
1.5 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.
1.6 Do not use on aircraft: Using a wireless devices on aircraft can cause interference and is illegal. Remove
your GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 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.
1.7 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 the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 close to sensitive electronic devices could possibly result in interference. If
you intend to use your PC in such areas, you must remove the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2.
1.8 Interference from radio signals: Option
®
relies on advice from health authorities and relevant expert bodies
about potentially undesirable reactions to radio emissions from the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2.
1.9 Immunity to interference: Electromagnetic interference is the disturbance of the normal operation of a device
due to its 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.
GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 User Guide
Version: v017ext Page: 26 of 28
The Directive from the European Commission (2004/108/EC) 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.
1.10 Cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators and other medical implant devices
It is possible that the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 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 GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2. Health authorities in many countries have set
up advisory services for medical devices and implants including providing advice about maintaining separation
distance between the mobile device 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 as a
minimum recommend a separation distance of at least 20cm between the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 or other
radio frequency terminal equipment and the embedded device.
1.11 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 mobile
device, the type of hearing device and the distance between the two. Increasing the distance between the
GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 and hearing device may reduce interference.
1.12 Children: Do not allow children to play with your GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2. They could hurt themselves or
others, or could accidentally damage the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2. Your GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2
contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create a
choking hazard.
1.13 Driving: Do NOT use the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 while driving. Park the vehicle first.
1.14 SIM cards: To protect against damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) do not touch the SIM card
connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 is already in your hand before
you insert or remove the SIM card.
1.15 Accessories: Only use Option
®
approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products. When
used with accessories, Option
®
can only guarantee safe and correct operation of our products if the accessories
are tested and approved by us.
1.16 Safe distance: The GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 has been thoroughly tested to comply with SAR
requirements. These tests simulate the absorption by the human body of radiation from the GlobeTrotter
®
Express
441/2.
This device complies with the SAR regulation as stated by the 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 all applicable
orientations with a separation of 5mm to the flat phantom. The FCC guidelines define a limit of 1.2W/kg averaged
over a mass of 1g for single platform devices, in this case a notebook platform.
This device complies with the SAR regulation as stated by the European Council Recommendation.
The SAR limit as defined by the European Council Recommendation is 2.0W/kg for a mass of 10g (European
Council Recommendation 1999 519 EC), based upon ICNIRP guidelines. Details are available upon request.
For day-to-day use we would advise the user to keep a minimum distance from the antenna of 20cm.
Users concerned with the risk of Radio Frequency exposure may wish to limit the duration of their calls and to
position the antenna as far away from the body as is practical.
1.17 Supply voltage: The GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 has to be supplied by a limited power source according to
EN 60950-1:2001.
