4Customizing your phone Tap Start / Settings / Phone. The following settings are described below. Phone Number The ring for text messaging notifications can be changed. Tap Start / Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications and select Messaging: New text message. Choose the sound you want. PIN Number: a PIN can be set to block unauthorized access to your data connection. NOTE: This device is data-only and dialing controls are not available. Call Forwarding: Voice calls to the Nomad can be forwarded to another phone. NOTE: Carrier charges may apply for use of this service. Because the Nomad is a data-only device, most of these settings do not apply.
5 IMEI: Unique number that identifies the phone module that is embedded in the Nomad. IMSI and ICCID: Unique numbers embedded on the SIM card. NOTE: If you purchase a SIM card separately, the phone service provider may want your Nomad IMEI number. It is located on this screen, as well as in the battery compartment. NOTE: Leave settings set to Auto Band Select unless there is a good reason to make these adjustments manually.
6GPRS Connection Setting up the GPRS connection 1. Tap Start / Settings / Connections tab / Connections. 2. Tap Add a new modem connection. 3. To make connections easier in the future, type in a new connection name, such as the name of your service provider. Select Cellular Line (GPRS) and tap Next. 4. Enter the access point name if provided by your service provider, and tap Next. 5. Enter the credentials provided by your service provider and tap Finish. (User Name and Password may be required by your Service Provider.) Starting a GPRS connection Tap on the Wireless Manager on the Today screen to turn on the phone. The Nomad will automatically establish a GPRS connection when needed. If you want to start the connection manually, tap Start / Settings / Connections tab / Connections. Tap Manage existing connections. Tap and hold on the newly created connection name and tap Connect. NOTE: EDGE is a faster form of GPRS. E or G will automatically appear in the notification bar and will on depend upon the network capabilities in that area. Some service providers may only provide GPRS.
7Using the WWAN features NOTE: The Wireless WAN (wide area network) features of this Nomad are used only for data communication and do NOT have voice capability or the ability to send MMS messages (Multimedia Messaging Service). Voicemails left on this number can be retrieved only by using another phone, depending upon the plan you purchased from your service provider. It is recommended to request the data-only plan from your service provider and have a “voice restriction” placed on your line. Use the Wireless Manager to turn on the phone and wait at least 30 seconds before using the phone. The Nomad may say the phone is on, but it needs to register with your service provider before it works properly. To save battery power, turn off the phone feature when not in use. Browsing the Internet Tap Start / Internet Explorer Mobile, and enter the address of one of your favorite websites. Internet Sharing The Internet service from your Nomad can be shared with a computer. Tap Start / Programs / Internet Sharing. You can connect either through USB or Bluetooth.

As manufacturer, we declare under our sole responsibility that the equipment follows the provisions of the Standards stated above. Corvallis, OR USA CAUTION: Only approved accessories may be used with this equipment. In general, all cables must be high quality, shielded, correctly terminated and normally restricted to two meters in length. AC adapters approved for this product employ special provisions to avoid radio interference and should not be altered or substituted. Unapproved modifications or operations beyond or in conflict with these instructions for use may void authorization by the authorities to operate the equipment.
13Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by international standards bodies: • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992. • National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986. • International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996. • Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance. To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your device only in its normal-use position. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life. Carrying the unit Due to radio frequency emissions, do not operate the radio with the unit in a holster, dangling from a lanyard, or with any method that keeps the powered unit in very close proximity to the head or torso. For proper operation, carry the unit in your hand with the antennas located at least 8 inches (~20 cm) from the head or torso. See the following illustration for the correct and incorrect way to operate the unit. Correct Incorrect
14Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety information Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers: • Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON. • Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately. Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. Other Nomad resources This manual covers only the Wireless WAN part of your Nomad. Refer to your Nomad Getting Started Guide for additional information about using your unit.
