Chapter 1 – Preparing the Modem Charging Cradle

Installation Overview

Before using the Modem Charging Cradle, its hardware and software
must be properly configured.

We have provided a step-by-step procedure to help you properly
configure your new Modem Charging Cradle. The procedure is divided
into two major tasks.

Preparing the cradle for first use, and

Configuring the Network Manager to communicate via the Modem

Charging Cradle.

Preparing the Modem Charging Cradle for First Use

Perform the following steps:

1. Connect the Antenna to the Modem Charging Cradle until it is

finger tight. Slide the rubber sleeve over the antenna so that it
covers the metal connector on the cradle. Now bend the antenna
so that it is pointing upward.

2. Insert your SIM card into the SIM card receptacle.

a. With the tip of a pen or stylus push the ejector pin inward

until the SIM tray is released. Pull the tray out from the
Modem Charging Cradle.

b. Place the SIM card into the tray so that the gold contacts of

the SIM are visible and the notched corner of the card
matches the notched corner of the tray.

c. Reinsert the SIM tray into the Modem Charging Cradle.

3. Connect the Modem Charging Cradle to Line Power using the

supplied power adapters listed on page 5

NOTE
The SIM must have an active data plan.

Configuring the Network Manager for Modem
Communication

Perform the following steps:

1. Configure the Palm Tungsten E2 to work with the Modem

Charging Cradle and a Cingular Data Plan:
