Important Notice

Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception

of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have

errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare

when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless network card are used in a

normal manner with a well-constructed network, the SierraWireless network

card should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data

could resultin damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including

butnot limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless,

Inc. accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or

errors in data transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless network card,

or for failure of theSierra Wireless network card to transmit or receive such

data.

Safety and Hazards

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless AirCard 710 wireless network card in areas

where blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be present, or

near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment which

may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra

Wireless network card

MUST BE POWERED OFF

. The Sierra Wireless

network card can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless network card in any aircraft, whether the

aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the SierraWireless network

card

MUST BE POWERED OFF

. When operating, the Sierra Wireless network

card can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.

Note: Some airlines may permit the

use of cellular phones while the

aircraft is on the ground and the door

is open. Sierra Wireless network

cards may be used at this time.

The driver or operator of any vehicle shouldnot operate the Sierra Wireless

network card while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the

driver or operator's control and operation of thatvehicle. In some states and

provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a

vehicle is an offence.

FCC RF Exposure

Information

In August1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United

States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated

safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic

energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent

with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international

standards bodies. The design of this wireless network card complies with the

FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,

modifications, or attachments could impair callquality, damage the phone, or

result in violation of FCC regulations.

This device has been tested for FCC RF exposure requirements in a laptop

PC. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements the AirCard 710 PCS

GSM modem card must be operated with a minimum separation distance of

2 cm (0.8 inches) between the user/nearby persons and the antenna

For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC web site at

www.fcc.gov

About the AirCard

710 Wireless

Network Card

The Sierra Wireless AirCard

710 wireless network card lets

your Microsoft

Windows

–based notebook PC connect to the

Internet and other networks without wires, using cellular

telephone radio frequencies and the GSM (Global System for

Mobile Communications) digital telephone infrastructure.

The AirCard PC Card fits into a standard Type II PC Card slot

(available on most notebook PCs) and functions as a wireless

network card, a modem, and a mobile phone. This card allows

you to connect to the Internet, send and receive e-mail, connect

to a corporate network, and make phone or fax calls, without

needing a network cable or phone line.

When packet mode service is available (see “How Circuit

Mode and Packet Mode Data Connections Differ ” on page 3),

the AirCard 710 network card provides an “always-on” data

connection, just like an Ethernet card or other wired network

adapter.

AirCard 710 Wireless Network Card - User Guide

22130135

Note: Do not insert the AirCard

710 wireless network card into a

PC Card slot until after you have

installed the software from the

AirCard 710 CD-ROM.

The AirCard network card includes its own retractable

antenna, and a connector for a standard cellular telephone

headset for voice calls. It draws electricity from your

computer’s PC Card slot, so it does not need its own battery

power.

Supported Computer Platforms and

Wireless Networks

Note: If you have more than one

type of supported computer, you

can move the AirCard 710

network card from one notebook

PC to another at any time—as

long as you have installed the

proper software and drivers on

each computer.

Windows Computer Platforms

The AirCard 710 wireless

network card functions in notebook PCs running Windows 95,

98, 98 SE, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP. For more details, see

“Notebook PC System Requirements” on page 15.

North American GSM Wireless Networks

The AirCard 710

network card operates over a type of wireless network called

GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), supported

by a number of wireless carriers in North America and around

the world.

This network technology has many features beyond providing

a wireless link, including SMS (Short Messaging Service, also

known as text messaging) which allows you to exchange brief

text messages with others on the GSM network, whether they

are using a wireless network card on their computers, or

simply an SMS-capable mobile GSM telephone.

To use the AirCard 710 network card, you must have an

account that gives you access to a GSM network running on

North American PCS (Personal Communications System)

radio channels. For technical details, see “Radio Frequency

and Electrical Specifications” on page 92.

Note: Every GSM network worldwide operates on one of three radio

frequency bands. The AirCard 710 network card operates only in the

1900 MHz PCS band used in North America. Sierra Wireless also

manufactures the AirCard 750 wireless network card, which supports

all three bands and works anywhere worldwide with GSM coverage.

Like GSM mobile phones, the AirCard 710 network card

requires a SIM card (also known as a “smart card” or “smart

chip”), provided by your wireless service provider, in order to

function. See “SIM Card Information” on page 9.
