D. About your PC3220 Wireless PC Card Modem
The PC3220 is a wireless PC Card modem designed to fit into a Type II PC Card slot available
on most notebook PCs. This uniquely designed card allows you to connect to the Internet,
send and receive email efficiently, connect to your company’s network, and maximize
productivity when away from the office.
1. Power Management
a. Designed to take advantage of the power management and system overhead
benefits offered by the 32-bit CardBus electrical interface that extends battery
life.
CardBus: another name for “advanced PC Card,” the CardBus interface works at
lower battery voltage and operates at a greater speed than the standard PC Card
interface.
2. Unique Antenna Design
a. The PC3220 includes a patent-pending, proprietary antenna design
that optimizes data rate transfer speeds, sensitivity, and increases
power efficiency.
4
3. Other Features and Benefits
a. A Type II PCMCIA format supporting the CardBus I/O interface
b. Supports North American CDMA Cellular (800 MHz) and PCS (1900 MHz)
bands- (analog not supported)
c. Based on the QUALCOMM MSM5100 chip set
d. Supports IS-95A/B and cdma2000 1XRTT Release 0
e. Optimized data rates of up to 153.6 kbps on both the forward and reverse
links
f. Provides dial-up, 3G and 2G services
E. What is the Mobile Connection Manager?
The Mobile Connection Manager is an application designed to assist you in managing the
PC3220. With this application you can easily monitor and customize your connections.
The Mobile Connection Manager Software guides you through the wireless connection process.
Similar to a mobile phone display, the user interface of the Mobile Connection Manager
instructs you when to insert the PC3220 into your laptop, advises you on network availability,
displays the time of your session and amount of data being transferred and received, and
when your connection becomes dormant. Other features allow you to customize your settings,
review your connection history, and access a digital help file.
F. Caring for your PC3220
Storage:
1. When not in use, fold the antenna down and store in a compartment where the card
can be protected from being crushed or broken.
2. Do not apply adhesive labels to the PC3220. This may cause the card to jam inside the
PC Card slot of your notebook PC.
3. The antenna extends freely, do not forcefully hyper-extend the antenna. This may
cause it to break.
4. The PC3220 should easily fit into the PC Card slot. Forcing the PC3220 into the PC
Card slot may cause considerable damage.
5. Your PC3220 should be stored in a dry and clean place. Protect your card from liquids,
dust and excessive heat.
G. What is CDMA?
1. Your PC3220 operates on a wireless cellular network called CDMA (Code Division
Multiple Access). CDMA is a digital spread-spectrum wireless technology that offers
reliable, high speed bi-directional throughput of up to 144 kbps for email, corporate
databases and all the services of the Internet. The PC3220 is a high performance card
that enables you to both send and receive data/email at maximum network rates.
2. Often times when using a dial-up connection, a "network busy" signal appears. That's
because there are "bottlenecks" slowing down the network. With the spread spectrum
technology of CDMA these frustrating bottlenecks are eliminated. In fact, CDMA
technology allows a network to handle more calls than competing digital technologies.
5
3. What about privacy? The secure CDMA network is designed with digital coding that
is recognized only by the base station and unintelligible to eavesdroppers.
For more information on CDMA, visit the CDMA Development Group website:
www.cdg.org

When the indicator is “on” (solid black) you are roaming within a
“preferred” roaming area. When the icon is blinking, you are roaming within
a CDMA network, but not in a “preferred” zone.
When the indicator is “off” (dimmed), you are within the local coverage
area of your service provider. You are not roaming.
Note:
Your coverage area and billing charges depend upon your service provider and the type of account
you have. There may be surcharges for roaming service that varies based on whether you are in a
preferred roaming area or a non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming agreement between
your service provider and the local carrier, you may be unable to complete calls in a non-preferred
zone.

VII. Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to common questions regarding the PC3220:
What is the Mobile Connection Manager?
The Mobile Connection Manager is an application designed to assist you in managing
the PC3220. With this application you can easily monitor and customize your
connections.
My PC3220 becomes noticeably hot after using it for a while, is this normal?
Like all PC Cards, the PC3220 generates heat in its normal operation and is also
heated by the host computer. For this reason it is recommended that you allow
PC3220 to cool down after extensive operation so that it may become cool to the
touch before you remove it from your notebook PC.
What is the difference between 3G and 2G?
3G is a digital network using 1XRTT technology with speeds bursting up to 144Kbps.
2G network functions somewhat like a standard 14.4k dial-up connection, with the
exception that the time required to establish a connection/session is much shorter.
How fast will my connection be with the PC3220?
If your card is functioning in a 3G zone, the maximum speed you will experience is
144kbps, with average speeds between 50-70kbps. If you are attempting to connect
in a 2G coverage area, speeds will match that of a standard dial up connection.
With the installation of the Fourelle Venturi data compression software, you will
achieve accelerated performance.
Which Operating System do I need in order to run the Mobile Connection
Manager?
You will need Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, or XP to run the Mobile Connection Manager.
The Mobile Connection Manager is not compatible with Windows CE, handhelds or
Macintosh.
How much space on my hard drive will the Mobile Connection Manager
require?
50MB. For complete system requirements, see: Installing the Mobile Connection
Manager and the PC3220 on my Notebook PC on page XX.
What is the Fourelle Venturi 2.1 Data Compression Software?
Fourelle Venturi 2.1 Data Compression Software is an enhancing feature available
with the PC3220. When you install and enable the Venturi software, located on your
installation CD, the compression will automatically be used where it is available on
the network. In areas where the Venturi server is implemented, you will notice an
increase in the speed of your data connections.
Am I able to make phone/voice calls with the PC3220?
No, this particular model is designed for data calls only.
