The AirCard 597E ExpressCard

The AirCard ExpressCard provides your computer with a connection

to the CDMA wireless network.

The AirCard ExpressCard fits into a standard ExpressCard/34 or

ExpressCard/54 slot available on newer notebook PCs.

Every CDMA network operates on one of three radio frequency bands.

As a dual-band product, the AirCard ExpressCard operates on two of

these bands (see page 32), providing a wide coverage area.

The AirCard ExpressCard drivers and enabling

software

The AirCard ExpressCard drivers and enabling software (Watcher)

monitor and manage your wireless connections.

The AirCard ExpressCard comes with a CD containing this software:

• Watcher application that you use to manage the AirCard

ExpressCard and monitor your connections. For step-by-step

instructions to access features of Watcher, use the application’s

online help.

• The device driver software that enables the AirCard ExpressCard

to work with your computer’s operating system.

The drivers and application software must be installed before you

A CDMA service provider account

Companies that operate CDMA networks and provide access to these

networks are called service providers. To use the AirCard ExpressCard,

you must have an account with a CDMA service provider.

Note: You can use the Lock Code

feature to prevent others from using

your account, should your AirCard

ExpressCard be stolen. For infor-

mation on this feature, see the online

help.

Each service provider has its own pricing options. There may be flat

rate accounts, which provide you a maximum number of minutes of

network usage for a fixed monthly fee. There may be accounts for

which you are charged for network usage by the minute or by the

amount of data transmitted.

Your account may include a variety of other services such as SMS

messaging.
