Triple-band functionality
The GlobeTrotter card is a triple-band GPRS/GSM card: it operates in GSM 900,
DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 networks.
Automatic selection is supported by the firmware for only two bands:900/1800
and 900/1900. Switching between frequencies has to be done manually. To set
the band mode go the Voice dialer (function F2) in the WCM software.
When the dialer is opened the current setting is displayed.
Select the desired frequency. If you are in North America be sure the band mode
is set to GSM900/PCS1900.
Singal strength affecting cellular transmissions
You need to be in an area that is covered by a GPRS/GSM network to use the
GlobeTrotter card.
Cellular networks differ from landline networks in many ways. For example,
traffic loads and the strength of radio singals may vary in a cellular network and
cause handovers.
You will have the best data performance in locations where the signal is strong.
getting started 19
A right click on a contact shows all the possibilities that the user has regarding that
specific contact.
The WCM interface makes it easy to manage a phonebook, send and receive SMS
messages and initiate a phone call.
The program will automatically read the contacts in Microsoft Outlook making
them available in the WCM software for all the operations described above.

This section points out the basic problems that could occur when you are
installing and using the card. There is a list of symptoms and possible actions
you can take in any of the following situations below.
Not enough disk space for installation.
There is not enough space to complete the installation on the selected drive.
Select another drive for installation or delete unnecessary files to free up addi-
tional disk space.
If there are several hard disk drives in the system and you decide to install the
program on a drive other than the one where the Windows system files are
located, disk space is required on both drives. The program will always need to
place some files in the Windows directory.
Setup does not accept the target directory.
The program can only be installed on a local drive.
If the path to the directory is over 80 characters, it will not be accepted.
Select another directory or shorten the names of the subdirectories.
