Wireless Manager must be installed before you insert your PC Card into your PC.The GC86 supports the following services and bands:The GSM, GPRS and EDGE facilities provide almost worldwide portable modem access to the Internet or to corporate networks.• Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput over GPRS by as much as three times, depending upon the network radio signal strength and quality. GPRS networks that are enhanced with EDGE are often referred to as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS) networks. EDGE provides the “always on” capability of GPRS but at faster speeds. 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. When EDGE is available you can expect increased speeds of up to 200 kbps, dependent on network coverage.• General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)GPRS is a type of network connection that provides “always on” mobility. The connection set up is fast. After you are connected, applications can send and receive data whenever required. In today’s GPRS networks, the GC86 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds up to 26.8 kbps.EDGE ✓GSM 850 ✓GPRS ✓GSM 900 ✓CSD ✓GSM 1800 ✓SMS ✓GSM 1900 ✓

9 Additional informationAdditional informationGuidelines for safe and efficient usePlease read this information before using your GC86 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 from your treating physician or authorised medical staff.• Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft, or areas showing the sign “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 PC card. Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson specifically for this model could damage your PC card, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels above the establish limits (see below).Efficient useDo not cover the antenna when in use, as this affects call quality and may cause the GC86 to operate at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SARYour 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 organisations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionising 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.
Additional information 10Specific 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.More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found on:www.sonyericsson.com.Caution!The PC Card has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC RF exposure limits in the laptop computer(s) configurations with side PCMCIA representative of laptop computers with substantially similar physical dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics.Always place the external antenna in the upright position (oriented vertically) when using the PC Card in a notebook computer. Note:If this PC Card is intended for use in any other portable device, you are responsible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of Part 2.1093 of FCC rules.Personal medical devicesPC 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 GC86 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 GC86. Contact your cardiologist for more information. For other medical devices, please consult your physician and the manufacturer of the device.CHILDREN DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR PC CARD OR ITS ANTENNA. THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE PC CARD OR ANTENNA. YOUR PC CARD OR ITS ANTENNA MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.Disposing of the product This symbol indicates that all electrical and electronic equipment included shall not be treated as household waste.
