Warning! The Intel PRO/Wireless GPRS 3110 series PC Card starts transmitting signals as soon as you
insert the card and turn on the PC Card power. Turn OFF the PC Card power if you are located where radio
signals from the card might interfere with the safe operation of machinery or vehicles. Medical equipment or
devices such as pacemakers and hearing aids, inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles,
along with navigation equipment in aircraft are among those sensitive to radio frequencies. Observe all posted
warnings and manufacturer's safety guidelines regarding the use of equipment that transmits radio signals or
equipment that is sensitive to radio signal transmissions. Failure to comply with these guidelines can be
dangerous or illegal.
This device has been designed and tested to perform in the Laptop PC environment. The current regulatory
approvals have been obtained using this application and it is not recommended that it be used in other
platforms such as PADs and PDAs.

The Intel PRO/Wireless GPRS 3110 PC Card and Intel PRO/Wireless Communication Manager provide
mobile users with all-the-time, everywhere access to information at speeds up to that of traditional analog
modems—without wires or the inconvenience of dial-up modem connections.
The PC Card allows you to connect to your network service provider from anywhere within your coverage
area. Once you are connected to your network service provider, you can:
Connect to the Internet or your workplace, so you can check email, surf the Web, and so on. You can
maintain a constant connection at speeds up to 53.6 Kbps.
Send and receive instant text messages just like you can with a pager or mobile phone.
Make and receive voice calls just like you can with a mobile phone.
Important: Once you insert the PC Card into your computer and turn on your PC Card power, the PC Card
transmits radio signals. If you want to stop transmitting radio signals, for example, if you are traveling by
airplane, turn off the PC Card power. You can also remove the PC Card from your computer. Note that if you
close the Communication Manager software, it does not turn off the PC Card power.
This device has been designed and tested to perform in the Laptop PC environment. The current regulatory
approvals have been obtained using this application and it is not recommended that it be used in other
platforms such as PADs and PDAs.
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Configure security settings
To prevent others from using your GPRS PC Card, you may set a password or Personal Identification
Number (PIN). Important: The card locks if you type the wrong PIN three times in a row. If you lock the card,
you need the SIM PUK (Personal Unlock Key) from your service provider to unlock it.
The GPRS PC Card can use the same SIM as your mobile phone. If your mobile phone and PC Card share
the same SIM and you change the PIN, you must use the new PIN to unlock your phone when you transfer
the SIM back to it.

Connections overview
Use the Connections tab to:
Turn on your PC Card power, which connects you to your network service provider (similar to turning
on your mobile phone). Once you are connected to the network, you can make and receive voice calls,
send and receive text messages, and connect to the Internet.
Turn off your PC Card power when you want to disconnect from your network service provider. At
times you may be required to turn off the PC Card power (stop transmitting radio signals), for example,
when traveling by airplane. However, most of the time you can leave your PC Card power on (just like
your mobile phone) so you can quickly connect to the Internet, send and receive text messages, and
make and receive phone calls. When your computer goes into a standby state, your GPRS PC Card
will automatically turn off its power; the GPRS PC Card will turn on its power again when the computer
"wakes up".
Connect to the Internet (establish a data connection) at speeds up to 53.6 Kbps. Once you insert the
PC Card into your computer and connect to your network service provider, you can establish a data
connection. The data connection works just like a typical dial-up modem connection, but the connection
is wireless. You can connect to the Internet or to your workplace. Once you are connected, use your
regular software to take advantage of your connection. For example, use your Internet browser to surf
the Web or your email application to send email.
Track the number of bytes you have transmitted and received over a certain period of time. This
information is useful if your service plan permits you to send a certain number of bytes and you want to
track your Internet usage for billing purposes.

I inserted the PC Card but the system cannot detect the device
Your computer does not detect the GPRS PC Card.
If you have inserted the PC Card into your PC Card slot on your computer, remove it and try inserting it
again. If it still does not detect the card, restart your computer.
If your computer has two PC Card slots, try inserting the card into the other slot.
It is also possible that the system cannot support additional PC Cards. To check to see if this is the
problem:
1. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop, and then click Manage.
2. Select Device Manager in the left pane, and then double-click Network Adapters in the right
pane. If there's a yellow exclamation mark next to the GPRS PC Card name, your system may
not be able to support the PC Card. Unplug another PC Card that you are not using, and then
plug in the GPRS card to try again.
Contact your network service provider.
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
I cannot connect to the network
If the status area indicates that the network is not available or if "Searching" appears for longer than usual,
you may be outside your network boundaries or you may have a weak signal. The system will continue to try
to connect to the network.
If you are connecting to your network service provider for the first time, contact your service provider to
ensure your account is activated and your PC Card is configured properly.
Make sure the antenna on the PC Card is connected and in an up-right position.
If you have recently traveled from one region to another, for example, Europe to the United States,
manually set your region. (The radio frequency changes to accommodate your new location. The
system automatically detects the correct frequency to use. If you notice that the system is taking longer
than usual to connect to the network, it might help to manually set your region.)
Run the Diagnostics tool to help determine the problem, and then contact your IT support team or your
network service provider. To run diagnostics, click Settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then
click Diagnostics.
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
I cannot connect to the Internet
To connect to the Internet, GPRS must be available (indicated in status area).
If you are connecting to your network service provider for the first time, contact your service provider to
ensure your account is activated for GPRS and your PC Card is configured properly.
If you are roaming and GPRS is not available, check to see if another service provider has GPRS
available.
Run the Diagnostics tool to help determine the problem, and then contact your IT support team or your
network service provider. To run diagnostics, click Settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then
click Diagnostics.

Check your proxy settings in your Internet browser. For more help, contact your IT Support group or your
network service provider.

My connection is slow
If your connection seems slower than usual, it is most likely because you have a weak signal or
interference from other radio devices. Try moving to another location. For example, if you are in a
building, move closer to a window.
There might be a lot of users on the network, causing a slow connection. Try connecting again later.
Make sure the region setting is correct for the location in which you are using the GPRS PC Card. (The
region determines the frequency the PC Card uses, and if the frequency is not correct, then it may slow
your connection rate.)
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
I cannot make a call
If you are connected to your network service provider and you cannot make a call, your Administrator may
have set restrictions on your incoming or outgoing calls. There are several types of restrictions, including no
incoming calls, no outgoing calls, no or limited long-distance calls, and no or limited incoming calls while
roaming.
To check if your calling is restricted
1. On the main screen, click Settings.
2. On the Intel
®
PROSet dialog box, click the Phone tab.
3. In the Restricted Calling section, click Configure. The Restricted Calling dialog box appears.

GSM infrastructure.
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
GSM
GSM (Groupe Speciale Mobile or Global System for Mobile Communications) is a type of technology that is
widely used for mobile communications all over the world. With a GSM connection, you can make and receive
voice calls, and send and receive text messages (SMS). GSM mobile devices (such as phones or PC Cards)
use a SIM to hold subscriber identification and related information. GSM also supports data connections

(circuit-switched data or CSD) at rates up to 9.6Kbps.
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
SIM
The Subscriber Identity Module, or SIM, is the small card that is inserted in your GPRS PC Card. The SIM
stores information, such as your network service provider and contacts. SIMs are also used in other mobile
devices, such as mobile phones.
What do the lights on the PC Card mean?
The GPRS PC Card has a small light on it that changes color and blinks to indicate the status of the PC Card:
None: The PC Card power is off, indicating you are not connected to the network or transmitting radio
signals (safe for air travel).
Blinking Red: The PC Card power is on and searching for your network service provider.
Solid Red: You are connected to your network service provider. You can connect to the Internet, send
and receive text messages, and make and receive voice calls.

Connect to your workplace
If you work remotely, you most likely connect to your workplace network through the Internet with VPN (Virtual
Private Network) software or through a dial-up connection using your modem. With your wireless PC Card,
you can continue to use these methods to connect to your workplace.
Dial-up networking may not be available in all areas. A dial-up connection allows you to connect at speeds up
to 9.6 Kbps.
For more information about connecting to your workplace, contact the network administrator at your
workplace.

Who can I send text messages to?
You can send text messages to mobile phones and pagers with text messaging capabilities. If you are not
sure whether someone can receive your text message, you can try sending them a message and asking them
if they received it. The person can also check with their service provider to see if they have text messaging
available.
Can I send a text message to someone's email address?
You cannot send text messages to email addresses; you must send text messages to a phone number that
has the capability to receive text messages.
What is my phone number?
®
On the main screen, click Settings. The Intel PROSet dialog box appears. Your phone number is shown on
the General tab. If your phone number does not appear, it means that this information is not stored on your
SIM and therefore cannot be displayed.
To get your phone number, either call your network service provider or use the Intel® PRO/Wireless
Communication Manager software to call another phone near you, such as your mobile phone, that has Caller
ID (the Caller ID should indicate your phone number).
