Using Your Dualwave-I Modem 

Switching the Modem On/Off 

The Dualwave-I modem does not contain a manual on/off power 
switch. The modem is automatically powered on/off when the iPAQ 
Pocket PC is inserted and removed respectively.

 

Before operating your Dualwave-I modem ensure the battery is fully 
charged, Modem Info software has been installed on the iPAQ and the 
iPAQ is inserted into the modem, as described earlier. 
Upon first iPAQ insertion the modem Power/On-Line indicator should 
display slow flashing green (once per second) as the modem searches 
for a network connection. As soon as the modem is registered the 
Power/On-Line indicator will fully illuminate. If network access is 
denied or no network can be found the Power/On-Line indication will 
continue to search to flash until it can register somewhere. On 
subsequent insertions the Power/On-Line indicator will reflect the 
power mode state set in the Modem Info application (refer to page ). 
If the Low Battery display starts flashing red, the battery needs 
charging. See the previous section, Charging the Modem Battery on 
page 21, for further information. 
The iPAQ and Dualwave-I modem is now ready for use. 

Note

The network profile is set by default for the modem to be used in 

U.S.A. To use the modem in Canada or other countries, this setting 
must be changed. See page 26 for information on changing the network 
profile.

 

Using the Modem Info Application 

Modem Info is a graphical user interface modem diagnostic and 
information tool to enable you to: 

 

Check the network connection status and modem parameters  

 

Check the modem hardware and battery status  

 

Set the various operating modes of the modem 

 

Send and Receive short text messages 

 

Register third party applications for invocation on specific 
modem events

described in the following sub-sections.

main screen. By default the Settings tab is displayed.
