Your new machine combines state-of-the-art hardware and software to bring you unparalleled wireless connectivity. Contents These hardware components are included. * A Cingular SIM card is preinstalled in your computer. ** Keep antenna attached. You should fully extend antenna all the way out of its housing to achieve the best reception and signal performance. Carton Contents Power cord Battey Antenna ** Computer * AC Adapter VAIO® Computer Wireless Information 4 About Wireless Connectivity With built-in Wireless WAN capabilities, your computer is equipped to connect wirelessly to your e-mail, the Internet, and any intranet networks with which you may be associated. To begin making use of wireless connectivity, you will need to insert a provided Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card into the computer before turning on your computer. About the Cingular SIM Card The SIM card, provided by Cingular Wireless, is a small printed circuit board that stores data identifying the user to the network service provider. It must be inserted into the computer for you to make use of the wireless services. Inserting the Cingular SIM card The Cingular SIM card should be preinstalled; you may follow these procedures to verify that the SIM card is indeed installed in the SIM card slot at the rear of your computer. ✍ Only the Cingular SIM card is supported. It is normally preinstalled in your computer. Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure you have a firm hold of your computer before inserting or removing the SIM card. About the Cingular SIM Card 5 1Unless preinstalled, your SIM card is contained within a larger card, about the size of a credit card. Remove the smaller SIM card by pushing it out from the larger card. 2Next, orient your computer so you are facing its rear portion. 3Locate the SIM card slot in the back of the computer and with its printed circuit side facing down, gently insert the SIM card into the slot. Check the SIM card for directions on which way to orient the card into the slot. Cingular SIM Card ✍Before inserting the SIM card into the computer, make sure your computer is turned off and the battery is not attached. VAIO® Computer Wireless Information 6 If your computer came with a preinstalled Cingular SIM card, verify that the card is indeed in the SIM card slot. If a SIM card can not be found in the unit, there are two ways to obtain the card: 1Contact Sony’s VAIO PC support line (888)-476-6972 and request a free replacement SIM card. Please note that you must have the VAIO product model number and serial number to receive the replacement SIM from Sony. Subject to availability, the replacement SIM card will be shipped from Sony to you without charge. 2Go to the local Cingular store and ask for SIM card for local service. Additional cost would apply in this process. Inserting the SIM card SIM card slot Back of Unit SIM card (printed circuit side face up) opened SIM card slot Cut-off corner oriented right Lift up SIM card slot cover About the Cingular SIM Card 7 ✍To activate your Cingular account, call Sony customer support at 888-604-VAIO (8246). When calling customer support, you may be asked for the SIM# (IMSI #) and IMEI code. To determine these values, start the Cingular Connection Manager (CCM), open Tools, and click Network Info. Alternatively, you can check the rear of your VAIO computer. The IMEI # and SIM # (ICCID) should be printed on the back of your computer. Removing the SIM Card To remove the SIM card, again orient your computer so you are facing its rear portion. Make sure the computer is turned off. 1Locate the SIM card slot and open it. 2Gently push in the SIM card until you hear it click, then release the card allowing the SIM card to eject. After the SIM card ejects, gently pull the card out of the slot, away from the computer. Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, make sure you have a firm hold of your computer before inserting or removing the SIM card. VAIO® Computer Wireless Information 8 Removing the SIM Card ✍Take care not to damage the card in any way, either by bending or putting undue pressure on the card. 2. Open SIM card slot cover 1. Locte SIM card slot 3. Extract SIM card About SmartWi Connection Utility 9 About SmartWi Connection Utility The SmartWi Connection Utility functions largely as a switch manager between the various forms of wireless connectivity: Bluetooth®, WLAN, and WWAN using Cingular Wireless software. By clicking on each of the three wireless options, the SmartWi Connection Utility switches to the corresponding one. Starting SmartWi Connection Utility At initial startup, a pop-up prompt appears from the Task Tray. Selecti…

RF Exposure Info

HUMAN EXPOSURE STATEMENT Calculations can be made to predict RF field strength and power density levels around typical RF sources using the general equations (3) and (4) on page 19 of the following FCC document: “OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 - Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields”. These equations are generally accurate in the far field of an antenna but will over predict power density in the near field, where they could be used for making a “worst case” prediction. S = PG/4πR 2 (3) Where S = power density (in appropriate units, e.g. mW/cm 2 ) P = power input to the antenna (in appropriate units e.g. mW) G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to the isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna (appropriate units e.g. cm) or, S = EIRP/4πR 2 (4) Where EIRP = Equivalent Isotropically radiated power Limit: 1mW/cm 2 is the reference level for general public exposure according to the OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 Table 1. MPE FCC 22 Maximum EIRP: 27.79dBm (0.601W) Calculated at distance of 20 cm Power density = 601 / (4 x pi x 20 2 ) = 0.12 mW/cm 2 MPE FCC 24 Maximum EIRP: 29.98dBm (0.995W) Calculated at distance of 20 cm Power density = 995 / (4 x pi x 20 2 ) = 0.2 mW/cm 2 MPE FCC 15 WLAN Maximum EIRP: 18.439dBm (0.0698W) Calculated at distance of 20 cm Power density = 69.8 / (4 x pi x 20 2 ) = 0.013 mW/cm 2
