System Requirements
This section lists the network subscriptions, hardware and software requirements for running
the EDGE PC Card.
Network and Subscription
The network subscription you use in conjunction with your EDGE PC Card depends on the
subscriptions your network operator can provide. Contact your network operator or service provider
to make sure the options you require are available. Make sure that data options are included in your
subscription, as these are usually optional services.
Note:
Mobile operators often provide a number of connectivity options via GPRS such as WAP and
Internet, so check that the Internet or VPN service you require is enabled for your subscription.
The functionality of the different subscriptions available from networks operators are
discussed below:
Circuit Switched Data (CSD)
CSD is the original GSM network data transfer method, used in the past for WAP. Almost all GSM
networks have this capability at 9.6 kbps. It is possible for the network to upgrade the speed
to 14.4 kbps. The EDGE PC Card operates at this higher speed where available.
Note:
GC85 does not have CSD connectivity. An upgrade will be available to add this functionality
to the GC85, contact your service operator for more details.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a new network connection which provides “always on” mobility. The connection set up
is fast and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required. In today’s
GPRS networks, the EDGE PC Card receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds
up to 26.8 kbps.
Getting Started
Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput by a factor of 3. GPRS networks enhanced
with EDGE are often referred to as E-GPRS (Enhanced GPRS) networks. EDGE provides the
“always on” capability of GPRS but with greater speed. EDGE technology is transparent, simply
make a GPRS connection as usual and benefit from the increase in speed where EDGE is available
in a network.
Short Message Service (SMS)
The PC can send and receive SMS text messages using the SMS Messages screen in the Wireless
Manager, see Wireless Manager SMS Messages Screen on page 33, for more details.

register to the mobile network. You may perform noncommunication related activities such as phone book
maintenance, but you must turn on the radio in order to
make a connection or to send/receive SMS.
Ask Me
Triggers a dialog to be displayed every time the PC
is turned on. The dialog asks you if the radio transmitter
should be turned on or off during the active PC session.
This is also called Aeroplane mode, because it prevents
the radio transmitter automatically turning on. This is
a useful feature in areas where radio transmitters are
not allowed; aircrafts, hospitals or blasting areas.
Your EDGE PC Card is set to Ask by default.
Turn Radio Off
At shutdown the radio is turned off.
Reset card
Turns the radio off and resets the card.
Text Messaging Tab
You can use this tab to enable reception of specific message classes from the SMS Cell Broadcast

Weather
To enter multiple SMS Cell Broadcast message types separate each entry with a comma,
for example, 000, 034, 076.
Note:
SMS Cell Broadcast message types are network operator specific. Contact your network
operator for more details.
This screen also allows you to set a validity period for the SMS messages that you are sending.
If your message can not be delivered, for example, if the recipient hasn’t inserted their EDGE PC
Card, the validity period tells your service centre how long to keep trying to send the message.

Windows Log on Using GPRS/EDGE Dial-up Connection
The EDGE PC Card supports the Windows Log on using dial-up connection feature.
To log on to Windows using a dial-up connection the EDGE PC Card must be inserted and the radio
enabled before you log on. To enable the radio prior to logon, select Enable radio immediately
when card inserted checkbox on the Radio Power preferences tab, see Radio Power Tab
on page 15 for more details.
Important!
Never start your PC in this mode if you are in a location where mobile devices shouldn’t
be used, for example, on an aeroplane, in hospital or near a blast site.
Only check this option if you need to log on to a Windows Domain via a wireless dial-up connection.
This will permit the EDGE PC Card to register with the network and establish a connection when the
Windows logon screen is displayed.
Note:
It is not possible to display network status or signal strength during the Windows logon
procedure, so you should allow enough time for the EDGE PC Card to find and register with
the wireless network prior to attempting to log on.
The dial-up connections available to the Windows Logon must have been created by a user account
with Administrator privilege and designated For all users. This must be done using the Windows
Network Connection Wizard, because the Wireless Manager can only create connections for the
current user ID.
Normally the Windows Logon using dial-up connection will be using a CSD session to a corporate
network, so that the logon credentials can be validated by a Windows Domain Server.
There may be special circumstances where a GPRS dial-up connection is required for logon.
To create a GPRS dial-up connection, follow these steps:
1. Create the Windows dial-up connection using the Windows Network Connection Wizard.
For the telephone number, use *99***3#.
2. Set the GPRS context parameters in the EDGE PC Card using the following AT commands.
Type the AT Commands into the Windows Hyperterminal program.
AT+CGDCONT=3,“IP”,“”,“”,0,0
where  is the name of the special GPRS access point for your corporate
GPRS service.
Start Using Wireless Manager
19
Note:
In this example, we used GPRS Context 3. There are 10 possible contexts supported
by the EDGE PC Card (1..10). Context ID 2 is reserved for use by connections created
by the Wireless Manager.
Refer to the AT Command Manual or contact your service provider for further assistance.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Please read this information before using your EDGE PC Card.
Recommendations
• Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
•
Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or humidity.
•
Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.
•
Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.
•
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.
•
Do not paint your product.
•
Do not use your product near medical equipment without requesting permission.
•
Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft, or areas posted “turn off two-way radio”.
•
Do not use your product in an area where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.
•
Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in the area above your car’s air bag.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorised personnel should
perform service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your EDGE PC Card.
Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your EDGE PC Card and may violate
regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR levels above the recommended limits (see below).
Efficient Use
Do not cover the antenna when in use, as this affects call quality and may cause the EDGE PC Card
to operate at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.
Additional Information
47
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR
Your PC Card is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). When it is turned on, it
emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of
radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can
be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are
variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony
Ericsson PC Cards are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
Before a PC Card 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 as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn
operation, this PC Card has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines for fixed and mobile
use when the PC Card is installed in a PCMCIA card slot of a standard Laptop PC with the original
antenna.
Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels
when the PC Card is used in any portable host equipment or when any changes to the original product
has been made.
More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found on: www.sonyericsson.com.
Personal Medical Devices
EDGE PC Cards may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted equipment. If
a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the EDGE PC Card and the pacemaker, the
risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
immediately turn off your EDGE PC Card. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the device.
Children
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR EDGE PC CARD OR ITS ANTENNA.
THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE
THE EDGE PC CARD OR ANTENNA. YOUR EDGE PC CARD OR ITS ANTENNA MAY
CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.
Disposing of the Product
Your EDGE PC Card should not be placed in municipal waste. Please check local regulations for
disposal of electronic products.
48
Additional Information
Emergency Calls
EDGE PC Cards manufactured by Sony Ericsson do not support voice calls, hence their use for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies) is not possible.
Inserting and removing the SIM card – precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that the EDGE PC Card
is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.

Our Warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson warrants this Product to be free
from defects in design, material and workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer,
and for a subsequent period of one (1) year.
What We Will Do
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under normal use and service, due to
defects in design, materials or workmanship, Sony Ericsson authorised distributors or service
partners, in the country/region* where you purchased the Product, will, at their option, either repair
or replace the Product in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson and its service partners reserve the right to charge a handling fee if a returned Product
is found not to be under warranty according to the conditions below.
Please note that your personal settings/downloads might be lost when the Product is repaired or
replaced.
Conditions
1. The warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase issued to the original purchaser by
an, for this Product, Sony Ericsson authorised dealer, specifying the date of purchase and serial

6. The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been caused by use of accessories or
other peripheral devices which are not Ericsson or Sony Ericsson branded original accessories
intended for use with the Product.
7. Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.
8. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER
THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO
THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY
ERICSSON OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS, TO THE FULL EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES
CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
58
Additional Information
Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitation of the duration of implied warranties, so the preceding limitations or
exclusions may not apply to you.
The warranty provided does not affect the consumer's statutory rights under applicable legislation in
force, nor the consumer's rights against the dealer arising from their sales/ purchase contract.

conditions set out above, within the warranty period in any EU country where an identical Product
is sold by an authorised Sony Ericsson distributor. To find out if your Product is sold in the EU
country you are in, please call the local Sony Ericsson Customer Care Centre. Please observe that
certain services may not be possible elsewhere than in the country of original purchase, for example
due to the fact that your Product may have an interior or exterior which is different from equivalent
models sold in other EU countries. It may not be possible to repair SIM-locked Products.
** In some countries/regions additional information is requested. If so, this is clearly shown on the
valid proof of purchase.
Vendor warrants the media on which the Software is provided, to be free from defects in materials
and workmanship under normal use for ninety (90) days after the date of your cash receipt/proof of
payment. The Vendor's and its suppliers' entire liability and your exclusive remedy under this
warranty will at Vendor's option be (and provided you return the Software to an authorized reseller/
supplier together with a copy of your cash receipt/proof of payment), to replace the disc(s)/
diskette(s) or refund the purchase price and terminate this Agreement including the License.
Except for the above express limited warranties, Vendor and its suppliers do not provide nor do you
receive any warranties or conditions whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise and Vendor
and its suppliers specifically disclaim any implied warranties of satisfactory quality and/or fitness
for a particular purpose. If your jurisdiction does not allow limitations on implied warranties to
consumers, the above limitation may not apply to you.
Vendor does not warrant that your use of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free. You
assume full responsibility for the selection of this Software and your selected hardware and for the
Software and hardware together achieving your intended results, as well as for any installation or
use of or result obtained from the Software.

An ‘address’ that the service provider knows you by and uses to route
information to and from your EDGE PC Card. Your IP address will either
be:
Server - assigned by the service provider when you connect.
Static - assigned once by the service provider or the IT Manager.
If your IP address is Static you must enter it into Own IP address fields
which is available when you select Details in the Connection APN dialog.
DNS
assignment:
Server / Static
This tells the EDGE PC Card where to find the service provider’s DNS
Service. DNS translates addresses such as www.sonyericsson.com to the
numeric IP address so that the information can be accessed.
Like IP assignment above, the DNS can be static or allocated by the
service provider when you connect. If static is selected additional fields
need to be completed containing the static information.
Own IP address
Only required if the IP assignment is static.
Format example: 123.9.45.3.
Do not enter any leading 0s when typing in IP address.

TCP/IP Optimisation
To take full advantage of the high bandwidth of the PC Card, the TCP/IP window size parameter
TCPWindowSize should be changed from the default Windows setting of 16k for Windows 2000,
or 64k for Windows XP. Sony Ericsson recommends a TCP/IP packet size of 43200 for optimum
performance with the PC Card. An MTU size of 1450 is also considered optimal for EDGE networks.
These settings are made automatically when the Wireless Manager is installed. They may be viewed
and, if necessary, changed in the properties of the Sony Ericsson Wireless WAN network adaptor.
Select Start
Settings
Network and Dial-up Connections, locate the Sony Ericsson Wireless
WAN adaptor in the list, right-click on it and select Properties.
Click Configure on the Advanced tab. If directed by your network operator, you may change the
settings by selecting TCPWindowSize or MTU and changing the value. Changes to these settings
require the network adaptor to be restarted. It is recommended that the laptop is rebooted.
Appendix A - Connection Parameters
63
If you have previously optimised TCPWindowSize, for example as directed by a broadband internet
service provider, then check whether that setting is global or specific to the network adaptor over
which the broadband connection is made. It is preferable that all TCPWindowSize settings are
specific to the network adaptor involved, since this ensures that each individual connection is
correctly optimised.
