Connecting Using GPRS
Your computer can receive General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), a
high-speed data-only service that transmits data over a mobile telephone
network. In addition, GPRS provides permanent on-line connection.
To use GPRS, you must have a subscription to the function with a service
provider that supports GPRS.
To connect to a GPRS network, you must configure a connection for that
service on your computer.
Using the GPS (Optional)
NOTE
: To take advantage of the GPS feature, the USB-to-COM
driver supplied with
your computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).
Navigation and positioning are crucial to so many activities. To try to
figure out where you are and where you are going, you need GPS
technology. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide
radio-navigation system.
Using the Bluetooth Feature (Optional)
NOTE:
To take advantage of the Bluetooth feature, the Bluetooth driver supplied with
your computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).
Depending on your model, your computer may incorporate the Bluetooth
capability for short-range (about 10 meters) wireless communications
between devices without requiring a cable connection.
With Bluetooth, data can be transmitted through walls, pockets and
briefcases as long as two devices are within range. By default, your
computer’s Bluetooth feature is active (always ON) upon booting your
computer and is in the general discoverable and pairable mode.
The status of the Bluetooth connection is indicated by the Bluetooth icon
located in the system tray in the lower-right part of the screen.
