User Guide for Notebooks 2110271 Rev. 1 April 2000 o Welcome o Overview o Navigating o Components o System Req. o Safety Notices o Specifications o Installation o Using AirCard o Troubleshooting o Service o Contact Us Welcome to the AirCard® 510 PCS Modem The AirCard 510 PCS modem is the first wireless CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) modem . It works in any laptop or handheld computer running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or CE that has a Type II PC card slot. This modem offers high speed data transmission (14.4 Kbps) and all the benefits of CDMA technology, including: ● coverage that is wide-spread and growing. CDMA currently encompasses most of North America, Asia, and Australia and is spreading throughout other parts of the world. ● continuous power control on the CDMA network means longer battery life for your laptop. ● CDMA uses "soft handoffs" between cells in the cellular network, providing a robust air link and reliable service. ● CDMA transmission is, by nature, extremely secure. Individual transmissions are indiscernable to anyone tapping into a radio frequency channel. Document Navigation This guide is designed to provide quick access to any subject.
