The PocketSpider Modem is an easy-to-use product that requires very little set up. This
manual explains how to install and setup your PocketSpider Modem. The software
installation can be accomplished in two ways: (1) using a compact flash card, or (2)
input from a host computer to the handheld device. Use of a compact flash as
described below is the commonly used approach, and the alternative "remote"
installation approach is provided as Appendix A to this manual.
3.1 Battery Operation
The PocketSpider derives all its power from a self-contained battery pack, thereby
ensuring no adverse effects on battery life of the host H/PC device. Prior to using the
PocketSpider, charge the new battery for at least 2 hours. Details on the battery
charger and charging process are provided in Section 5 of this manual.
The Li ion (Lithium ion) battery is composed of Lithium, the lightest metal and the metal
that has the highest electrochemical potential. Because of its light-weight and high
energy density, Lithium-Ion batteries are ideal for portable devices. Lithium-Ion
batteries have no memory effect or poisonous metals, and they have long battery life.
Once charged, clip the battery into the back of the PocketSpider housing and you are
ready to go.
The PocketSpider should operate for several hours under normal transmit and receive
operating conditions, although sustained transmitting inherently reduces the time
between charge. In the event of a low battery, either remove and insert a second
charged battery, or remove the battery pack, recharge, and reinsert the pack into the
PocketSpider.
3.2 Compact Flash Memory Card Installation
1.
Insert the setup memory card into Window CE device.
2.
“Autorun” on the compact flash card should run automatically on your
Pocket PC device. The screen will ask if installation of the Nextcell Spider
Modem software is desired. Click “Yes” to continue.
