It enables access to worldwide DataTAC wireless networks in the USA, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia. This technology offers the following unique benefits to the PDA user. • Dualwave V’s unique PUSH technology “wakes up” the PDA and immediately alerts you of a new message. • The serial port provides three additional functions for the PDA user by: - Allowing the use of modem function for transmitting and receiving data to a PC - Exchanging and updating data between PDA and computer. - Allowing the simultaneous charging of the PDA and Modem batteries. Using additional software, the Dualwave V effectively turns your PDA into a wireless window on the web and lets you use your existing e-mail accounts for mail. This manual provides details on how to set up, charge and use the Dualwave V. There is a troubleshooting section to the rear of the manual and a section on the care and maintenance of your new Dualwave V. Specifications are displayed on the last page. Features The Dualwave V has the following features: • Form hugging clip-on modem suitable for Palm V/Vx™ (and IBM Workpad ® c3) PDAs. • Secure locking mechanism. • May be used independently as a wireless modem for PC/laptop by using additional software. • Roaming capabilities as used in RDLAP system. • Modem is always online using the DataTAC network. • Auto wake up of PDAs from incoming messages. • HotSync® button for synchronising data between PDA and PC. • Extended battery life (5 days standby, 14 hours communication time). • High sensitivity reception. • Indicator lights shows the status of the network coverage and battery condition. Dualwave V User Manual _______________________________________________________ Using Your Dualwave V Compliance Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference harmful to radio communications. There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 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 is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult your supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance. Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. Information for Your Safety Please read these safety instructions and the operation instructions provided in this manual before operating the Dualwave V or the Battery Charger. SAR (RF Absorption Levels into body) Your Dualwave V wireless modem contains a low power transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FFC) adopted RF exposure (SAR) guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices. These guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and International standards bodies: ANSI C95.1(1992), NCRP Report 89 (1986), ICNIP (1996) Those standards were based upon comprehensive and periodic evaluation for the relevant scientific literature. The design of your Palm V wireless modem complies with these FCC guidelines and the standards above. It may be used next to the body or in the hand. Safe Use Using Your Dualwave V _______________________________________________________Dualwave V User Manual Switch the Dualwave off in areas where radio devices are forbidden, or when it may cause interference or danger. For example, fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, locations in which hazardous or combustible gases may be present and where blasting operations are in progress. Do not use the Dualwave V in an aircraft. Such use may affect aircraft instrumentation, communication and performance and may be illegal. Be aware that the Dualwave V may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices, including pacemakers. Additionally, the effect of the radio signals from the Dualwave V on other electronic systems, including those in your car (such as electronic fuel-injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, and electronic cruise-control systems) is unknown and malfunction of these systems may result. Do not use accessories or attachments (for example, a charging unit) that is not manufactured or supplied by Wavenet Technology Pty Ltd. Do not place the Dualwave V on an unstable surface. It may fall, causing injury and damage the equipment. Discard the Dualwave V properly. The unit contains a lithium battery, neither the lithium battery or the Dualwave V should be disposed of in a fire. Dispose the Dualwave V containing the lithium battery in accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell types. Contact Wavenet Technology Pty Ltd if you have any questions concerning disposal of the Dualwave V or the lithium battery. Never push objects of any kind into the Dualwave V through openings as they may short out parts that could result in a fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the Dualwave V. Do not use Dualwave V near water (for example near a bathtub or sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool etc.). The Dualwave V should be situated away from heat sources. Unplug the Battery Charger from the power source before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth to clean the unit. Unplug the Battery Charger from the power source and return the Battery Charger and Dualwave V to your supplier if: • The power supply cord or plug is damaged. • Liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the Dualwave V or Battery Charger. • The Dualwave V or Battery Charger has been exposed to rain or water. • The Dualwave V or Battery Charger has been dropped or damaged in any way. • The Dualwave V or Battery Charger does not operate normally by following the instructions contained in this manual. Dualwave V User Manual _______________________________________________________ Using Your Dualwave V • The Dualwave V or Battery Charger exhibits a distinct change in performance. Failure to observe all these instructions will void the limited warranty. Using Your Dualwave V _______________________________________________________Dualwave V User Manual System Requirements To install the Dualwave V software, your computer system must meet the following minimum requirements: • Intel compatible 486 computer or higher • Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 • 8 MB RAM (memory) minimum, 16 MB recommended • 1 MB available hard disk space • CD-ROM drive • One available serial port (9-pin). A 25 to 9-pin adapter may be required if your system has a 25-pin serial port. Checking the Package Contents The following items should be included in the box. Dualwave V Battery Charger Data Comms cable The PC connector has 9 pins. Use a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter if your system has a 25-pin serial port.
