1 | Introduction
Why sit confined at a desk when you can check
email and browse the Web while lounging in bed?
Socket’s Cordless 56K Modem with Bluetooth
Wireless Technology lets you comfortably access
the Internet from your Pocket PC, Palm PDA,
Windows notebook or tablet PC without any
cables tying you down.
Cellular coverage isn’t ubiquitous, and not all hotels have LAN or Wi-Fi,
but virtually every place you go will have telephone access. Plus, the
modem avoids the hassles of spotty cellular data service, cellular network
incompatibility or expensive roaming charges.
Just connect the Cordless 56K Modem to any analog phone line, make a
Bluetooth connection with your mobile computer, and enjoy up to 328 ft
(100 m) of wireless freedom. You can use the Cordless 56K Modem with
almost any Bluetooth enabled mobile computer that supports a Dial-up
Networking client. No software is required —the Socket Cordless 56K
Modem works right out of the box!
Optional Software for Windows Mobile
Socket’s software for Windows Mobile is optional to install but highly
recommended because of the great features it offers.
Socket Connect!Agent greatly simplifies Bluetooth by working in the
background to manage the wireless connection between the Pocket PC and
the Socket Cordless 56K Modem. Bluetooth configuration and setup are
automated, providing a hassle-free Bluetooth experience to the user.
Follow Socket’s Connection Setup wizard to quickly and easily
set up a dial-up connection to your Internet Service Provider or
office network.
Socket’s Modem Utilities software enables you to take advantage
of the modem’s v.92 features, program the modem for different
country codes, and adjust the speaker volume.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 5
About V.92 Quick Connect
Quick Connect is a V.92 modem specification that reduces the time needed
to establish a connection via faster handshaking. Handshaking (which
makes all the noise you hear while dialing in) typically takes 25-27
seconds, but with Quick Connect, lasts only about half as long.
When enabled with Quick Connect, the Socket Cordless 56K Modem will
store data about the last connection — or in other words, “train” itself for
the last phone line used. While dialing into a network, the Socket Cordless
56K Modem will compare the phone line characteristics with the stored
data, and if a match is found, the handshake starts using previous settings.
Quick Connect is convenient if you plan to repeatedly use the Socket
Cordless 56K Modem with the same phone line, for example the phone line
in your hotel room.
IMPORTANT! If you plan to use your modem in different
locations, Socket recommends that you disable the Quick
Connect feature.
If you enable Quick Connect but use the modem in
different locations, the connection may take twice as long
to establish because it searches for the previous line
characteristics before trying to connect to the new line.
System Requirements
Your mobile computer should meet these minimum requirements:
• Bluetooth wireless technology
• Support for a Bluetooth Dial-up Networking Client
Minimum requirements for Socket software:
• Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE/5.0
• ActiveSync 4.0 or greater
• Connect!Agent: Additionally, your Pocket PC must have the Broadcom
(Widcomm), Microsoft or Socket (SD/CF card) Bluetooth stack*
Note: If your Pocket PC is not compatible with Connect!Agent, or if you do
not want to install it, use your device’s Bluetooth software.
V.92 Quick Connect requires a V.92 Internet Service Provider.
*Socket Connect!Agent is not compatible on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices using the
Socket SD/CF Bluetooth card.

WARNING! Do not plug the modem into a digital Private
Branch Exchange (PBX) line. The modem will not work and
may be damaged.

STEP 3: Install the Software
Should I install the software?
The Socket Cordless 56K Modem comes with two software
installs that you can load into your Pocket PC. You can
choose to install one, both, or none of the software. If you
choose both, you can install them in any order.
• Socket Connect!Agent: This software simplifies the
Bluetooth setup and connection process. It runs in the
background and requires no interaction from the user.1

through the process of setting up a dial-up
connection to your ISP.2
− The Modem Utilities allows you to enable the
modem’s v.92 Quick Connect feature, adjust the
speaker volume, and set up the modem for use in
different countries.
1 Connect!Agent is not compatible with Windows Mobile 5.0 devices using the Socket SD/CF
card. If your Pocket PC is not compatible with Connect!Agent, or if you choose not to install
it, use your Pocket PC’s Bluetooth software to manually create and manage the Bluetooth
connection. For instructions, please refer to the OPTIONAL section at the end of this chapter.
2 If you choose not to install the modem software, use your Pocket PC’s built-in connection
utility to manually set up a dial-up connection. Refer to Appendix C for instructions.
CHAPTER 2: SETUP FOR WINDOWS MOBILE 11

Regulatory Compliance
Telecom Regulatory Compliance
1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the inside
of the Socket Cordless 56K Modem (behind the battery) is a label that
contains, among other information, the FCC registration number. If
requested, provide this information to your telephone company.
2. This product meets applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.
3. The registration jack USOC for the Socket Cordless 56K Modem is
SCIMM06BBM56SV92
4. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that may be
connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line
may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs of all devices should not
exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local
telephone company.
5. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with
this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the
telephone network, which is Part 68 compliant. See installation
instructions for details.
6. If the Socket Cordless 56K Modem with Bluetooth Wireless
Technology causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the
telephone company will notify the customer will be notified as soon as
possible. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC if you believe it is necessary.

connecting external antennas to the card is prohibited. This device and its
antenna must not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or
transmitter.
To comply with Industry Canada RF exposure compliance requirements, the
following antenna installation and device operating configurations must be
satisfied: “The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna
is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health
Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, available at
Health Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ehp/ehd/catalogue/rpb.htm”
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user may try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
• Increase the distance separating the equipment and the receiver.
