• Circuit Switched Data (CSD) CSD is the original GSM network data transfer method, used in the past for WAP. Almost all GSM networks have this capability at 9.6 kbps. • Short Message Service (SMS) The PC can send and receive SMS text messages using the SMS Messages window in Wireless Manager, see Wireless Manager – SMS Messages view, for more information.
• Connect to the Internet • Manage phone books saved to your SIM card and hard drive • Send and receive SMS messages You can use your GC86 like a modem to provide Intranet/Internet connectivity for other applications. Third-party applications Your network operator or your network administrator may provide an application that works with your GC86. Please refer to the instructions supplied with that application.

Additional information Guidelines for safe and efficient use Please read this information before using your GC86 EDGE PC Card. Recommendations • Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place. • Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or humidity. • Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures. • Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products. • Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product. • Do not paint your product.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
Inserting and removing the SIM card – precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD) Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that the GC86 is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.
