User's Manual

a) If the user choose <Enable Airplane Mode>, the card will be powered down.
Therefore, as specified into the pop up, the card will not register and the user will
not be able to make an Internet dial up connection or send/receive SMS.
In the network status pane, a message will remind the user that Airplane Mode
is enabled.
The message will be shown every time that the GPRS radio is off
(FOR CARDS SUPPORTING AIRPLANE MODE!)
b) If the user chooses <Disable Airplane Mode>, then the GlobeTrotter datacard
will behaviour normally. It will just register after the insertion of the PIN and
it will allow connections and messaging.
Important note for GlobeTrotter COMBO EDGE card users:
In the GlobeTrotter COMBO EDGE card the GSM radio is by default off. You will need
to manually turn the radio on. You can do this via:
a) GTMM > Tools > Settings > Airplane Mode (or controller “Right click” > Settings >
Airplane Mode)
b) Controller> “Right click” > Enable GPRS Radio (or Tools > Enable GPRS Radio).
