Choosing a Radio - the Radio Manager
Purpose
The Radio Manager is a control panel applet in the system through which the radio power driver controls the radio state. It
enables you to choose which radios in the terminal are powered up. When powered up, the radio is transmitting, when powered
down, the radio is not transmitting.
SIngle radio configuration
If your terminal contains a single radio and its associated driver is installed, the radio operates by itself without any special
configuration made to the device. You can use the Radio Manger to power it down.
Potential radios
There is a potential for three radios to be installed in the device:
• Bluetooth,
• 802.11b, and
• GSM/GPRS.
Multiple radio configuration
If multiple radios are installed in your terminal, simultaneous operation must be configured on the device before the radio power
driver allows it. Configuration of simultaneous radio operation is done during the manufacturing process according to FCC
regulations.
Multiple radio operation
GSM and 802.11b are mutually exclusive. While they may both be present, they cannot be allowed to operate simultaneously.
The Bluetooth radio is allowed to operate by itself or simultaneously with either of the GSM or 802.11b radios.
Accessing the Radio Manager
Go the Start > Settings > System tab > Radio Manager. The Radio Manager appears identifying which radio modes are allowed
in the Radio Modes box. The highlighted entry is the radio mode that is currently enabled; its Status should be Ready.
