APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS | 97 Appendix B Safety and Usage Tips About Bluetooth and Health Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals to connect a variety of devices, such as mobile phones, Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that have traditionally connected these devices. Bluetooth enabled products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output power is normally very low, only 1 mW (1/1000 of a watt). This gives a working range of approximately 10 meters. The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth enabled products are far below recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth enabled devices (1mW) reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels. CompactFlash Card Product Care • Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity. • Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures. • Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to open flames, etc. • Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could damage it. • Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent normal use. • Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will void the warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Should your Socket card need service, please contact Socket technical support at: support@socketcom.com. • Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place. • Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Antenna Care Do not place a metallic shield around your Socket card since it will reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
98 | APPENDIX C: TROUBLESHOOTING Efficient Use For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding your Socket card. Driving RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to be sure that your Enhanced Cordless Card will not affect the electronic system in your vehicle. Aircraft • Turn off your card antenna before boarding any aircraft. • To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use your Enhanced Cordless Card while the plane is in the air. • Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew. Radio Frequency Exposure Your Enhanced Cordless Card is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile phone, mobile computer or other device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt. The Enhanced Cordless Card is designed to be in compliance with the RF exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies1 when installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters. 1 Examples of RF exposure standards and guidelines: ICNIRP, “Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)”, International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), Health Physics, vol. 74, pp 494-533, April 1998. 99/519/EC, EU Council Recommendation on the limitation of exposure to the general public to electromagnetic fields 0 Hz – 300 GHz, Official Journal of the European Communities, July 12, 1999.

APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS | 99 Appendix C Troubleshooting SYMPTOM: I cannot connect to a device in my folder. POSSIBLE REASONS SOLUTION The services for the devices have not been discovered. In the Bluetooth Devices folder, tap on the Properties icon. Tap on the Services tab. In the Services screen, tap on the Update button. SYMPTOM: When I use the Get Connected! Wizard to connect to my phone, I get a screen that says Partial Success. POSSIBLE REASONS SOLUTION The phone is not in Bondable mode. Set your phone to Bondable mode. If needed, consult your phone’s documentation for help. The passkey is incorrect. Make sure the same passkey is entered on the phone and your mobile computer. If using a pre-assigned passkey for the phone, verify that your passkey is accurate. SYMPTOM: When I insert the Socket card, I get a message that says Unrecognized Card. POSSIBLE REASONS SOLUTION You did not install the software for the Connection Kit yet. Remove the card and install the software.
100 | APPENDIX C: TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM: My mobile computer cannot find any Bluetooth enabled devices nearby. POSSIBLE REASONS SOLUTION You are too far from other Bluetooth enabled devices. Move closer to the other Bluetooth enabled device(s), within a range of 10 meters. The Bluetooth enabled device(s) nearby are not turned on. Turn on the Bluetooth enabled device(s) you wish to find. The Bluetooth enabled device(s) are not in discoverable mode. Set the Bluetooth enabled device(s) to discoverable mode. If needed, consult the device’s documentation for help. SYMPTOM: My mobile computer keeps powering down to protect memory contents. POSSIBLE REASONS SOLUTION Your mobile computer’s battery is low. Recharge the battery. The Socket card has been in Discoverable mode for a long time. This mode requires a lot of battery power and should be turned off whenever not needed. Tap on the Bluetooth icon, then select My Bluetooth Device. Uncheck Discoverable. SYMPTOM: When I try to connect my Bluetooth enabled phone and mobile computer, the phone thinks that I am using a different mobile computer that I previously paired with the phone. POSSIBLE REASONS SOLUTION The phone remembers the name and address of the mobile computer it last paired with via your Socket card. Manually delete the pairing device and name from your phone. Refer to your phone’s user documentation for instructions.
APPENDIX D ISP RESOURCES | 101 SYMPTOM: I can’t make my Ericsson R520 phone discoverable. POSSIBLE REASONS SOLUTION You attempted to bond with the phone, and when the phone presented a “pairing query,” you entered No. This prevents the phone from being discoverable until it is reset. Reset the phone by removing its battery.
