Using Your Dualwave V_______________________________________________________Dualwave V User ManualIntroductionThe Dualwave V is a wireless modem developed for Personal DigitalAssistants (PDAs), such as the Palm V/Vx™ and IBM Workpad 3™. Itenables 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 andimmediately alerts you of a new message.• The serial port provides three additional functions for the PDA userby:-Allowing the use of modem function for transmitting andreceiving data to a PC- Exchanging and updating data between PDA and computer.- Allowing the simultaneous charging of the PDA and Modembatteries.Using additional software, the Dualwave V effectively turns your PDAinto a wireless window on the web and lets you use your existinge-mail accounts for mail.This manual provides details on how to set up, charge and use theDualwave V. There is a troubleshooting section to the rear of themanual and a section on the care and maintenance of your newDualwave V. Specifications are displayed on the last page.FeaturesThe Dualwave V has the following features:• Form hugging clip-on modem suitable for Palm V/Vx™ (and IBMWorkpad® c3) PDAs.• Secure locking mechanism.• May be used independently as a wireless modem for PC/laptop byusing 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 communicationtime).• High sensitivity reception.• Indicator lights shows the status of the network coverage andbattery condition.
Dualwave V User Manual_______________________________________________________Using Your Dualwave VCompliance StatementThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits fora class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. Theselimits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmfulinterference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, usesand can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used inaccordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may causeinterference harmful to radio communications.There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in aparticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmfulinterference to radio or television reception, which can be determinedby turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try tocorrect 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 thatto which the receiver is connected.• Consult your supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician forassistance.Warning:Changes or modifications to this unit not expresslyapproved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’sauthority to operate this equipment.Information for Your SafetyPlease read these safety instructions and the operation instructionsprovided in this manual before operating the Dualwave V or theBattery Charger.SAR (RF Absorption Levels into body)Your Dualwave V wireless modem contains a low power transmitterand receiver. When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio frequency(RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FFC) adopted RF exposure (SAR) guidelines with safetylevels for handheld wireless devices. These guidelines are consistentwith safety standards previously set by both U.S. and Internationalstandards bodies: ANSI C95.1(1992), NCRP Report 89 (1986), ICNIP(1996)Those standards were based upon comprehensive and periodicevaluation for the relevant scientific literature. The design of your PalmV wireless modem complies with these FCC guidelines and thestandards above. It may be used next to the body or in the hand.Safe Use
Using Your Dualwave V_______________________________________________________Dualwave V User ManualSwitch the Dualwave off in areas where radio devices are forbidden, orwhen it may cause interference or danger. For example, fuel depots(fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, locations inwhich hazardous or combustible gases may be present and whereblasting operations are in progress.Do not use the Dualwave V in an aircraft. Such use may affect aircraftinstrumentation, communication and performance and may be illegal.Be aware that the Dualwave V may interfere with the functionality ofinadequately protected medical devices, including pacemakers.Additionally, the effect of the radio signals from the Dualwave V onother electronic systems, including those in your car (such as electronicfuel-injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, andelectronic cruise-control systems) is unknown and malfunction of thesesystems 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 ina fire.
