Introduction
Overview
The Socket Digital Phone Card (DPC) allows you
to connect your data-capable mobile phone to a
Windows–based mobile computer. Now you can
check email, browse the web, connect to your
office network and synchronize files—
all
wirelessly!
When you use the Digital Phone Card, you don’t need a modem, because
your data-capable GSM phone simulates one. You can use the Digital Phone
Card with any software program that you use with a regular modem.
The DPC fits directly into the CompactFlash I/O slot of a Windows
Powered Pocket PC or Windows CE-based Palm-size PC, Handheld PC Pro
or pen tablet.
With the included CompactFlash-to-PC Card adapter, you can also use the
DPC in the PC Card slot of a Windows CE-based Handheld PC Pro or pen
tablet or Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP notebook.
Your retail box may not completely list all the mobile phones compatible
with your version of the DPC. For a complete, up-to-date listing, please

Working Wirelessly with the DPC
You can use your mobile computer’s remote communications capabilities to
make your mobile phone work as a wireless modem.
Wireless Web Browsing
If you have a web browser on your mobile computer (e.g., Pocket Internet
Explorer, Netscape, etc.), you can use the DPC to browse the Internet
anytime anywhere within your mobile phone’s coverage area. Simply use
the DPC to wirelessly connect to your office network or Internet Service
Provider (ISP), open your web browser, then surf the Internet!
