Introduction
This chapter explains how to verify MC7004/94 service on an Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution
(EDGE) wireless network and establish settings. EDGE is also known as Enhanced General Packet Radio
Service (EGPRS).
EDGE networks deliver mobile voice and data services, such as Short Message Service (SMS)/Text
Messaging, with full roaming capabilities across the world. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) enabled
networks offer Internet-based content and packet-based data services. This enables services such as internet
browsing, e-mail on the move, powerful visual communications, multimedia messages, and location-based
services.
When using the EDA as a phone, services can include speed dialing, call tracking, voice mail, call forwarding,
conference calling, and caller ID, depending on the type of service.
Also use the integrated phone as a modem to connect the EDA to an ISP or work network. The GSM/GPRS
enabled EDA can connect to the Internet or work network over GPRS, using Cellular Line, or using the modem
specified by the mobile phone service provider.
Quick Startup Steps
To use the EDA for phone and data connections:
1. Install the EDA main battery. See Installing and Removing the Main Battery on page 1-3 .
2. Charge the main battery and backup battery. See Charging the Battery on page 1-5 .
3. Install the SIM card. See SIM Card on page 1-9 .
4. Start the EDA.
5. Ensure network coverage ( page 5-2 ).
6. Configure a GPRS data connection ( page 5-3 ).
NOTE Before using an EDA on a wireless network, first select a provider, establish a voice and data-enabled
service plan, and configure the EDA (where applicable). Refer to the MC70 User Guide for information on
how to use the phone and services.
