2.3 Installing Software
2.3.1 Installation
• Insert the PC5740 into your laptop PC card slot. The label side should
be facing up.
If you use the product in any other configuration may cause it to exceed
FCC RF exposure limit.
• If the card is inserted properly, the Windows operation system will
automatically detect the card.
2.3.2 Warnings
• Make sure to complete the unplugging/ejection process before removing the
PC5740. If you remove the card improperly, the product may be damaged.
• Before inserting the PC5740 into your laptop’s PC Card slot, remove the
Installation CD from the CD-ROM drive.
2.3.3 Notes
• If you have inserted the card properly, Windows will inform you of the new
hardware. Wait for a while until Windows completes “Found New Hardware”
task. In Windows 98SE/2000/ME, several windows similar to “Found New
Hardware” window can appear and disappear automatically. In Windows XP,
several tool tips similar to the “Found New Hardware” function will appear and
disappear in the system tray automatically. Once hardware detection is
complete, you will be prompted to start activation.
• You hear a short beep sound each time you insert or remove the PC5740,
which is quite normal. It is an audible notification that your laptop recognizes
the new hardware.

2.3.4 Firmware upgrade
• Firmware is the software that is written to the PC card. When you insert the
PC card, the application decides whether the firmware version is up-to-date
with the version of software you have installed. If the firmware is out-of-date,
the application prompts, “The firmware on your PC Card is currently out of
date. Would you like to upgrade the firmware at this time (recommended)?”
Select “Yes” to launch the upgrade or “No” if you do not wish to upgrade the
firmware.
If you don’t upgrade the firmware, the application may not function reliably.
You must not eject the card while firmware upgrade is in progress. This can
cause the card can break down.
2.3.5 Unplugging or ejecting the card
• Make sure to complete the unplug/eject process before removing the
PC5740. If you remove the card improperly, the product can become
damaged.

Safety Information
1 . SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIXED WIRELESS TERMINALS
.POTE NTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cauls e an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
.
INTERFERENCE TO MEDICAL DIVICES
Certain electronic equipment may be shielded against RF signal from you wireless
phone. (pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and so on) Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
system in motor vehicles.
.EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
Do not move the antenna close to, or touching any exposed part of the body when
making a call.
SAR INFORMATION
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your PC wireless card is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission 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 mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. *
Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone 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 a phone model is 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 (e.g.,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR
value for this model when tested for use at the when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.26W/Kg . (Body-worn measurements differ among models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: PP4PX-100 .
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-stantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR RF EXPOSURE
Body worn operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the PC-CARD
kept 20mm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 20mm.
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the PC-CARD, including the
antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain
metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be
avoided.
FCC Compliance Information
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received.
Including interference that may cause undesired operation.
