V. Understanding Alert Windows

Alerts that are generated by the Mobile Connection Manager explain effects of certain actions you are enabling by selecting particular functions. You generally can exit an alert by selecting Yes, No or OK. You also have the option to “turn off” an alert either from the alert window itself, or by manually shutting it off. To manually shut off an alert, access the Settings tool in the Action Area of the Full Mode Mobile Connection Manager screen or click the System Tray Icon in the system tray of your laptop PC to access the shortcut menu. Following are different alerts that may appear during use.

Call Drop Alert

A visual and audible alert occurs whenever a connection has been inadvertently lost, due to poor signal strength or being outside a local coverage area. Select OK to acknowledge the notice and close the window. You may manually turn off this alert by accessing the General tab in the Settings tool window.

Card Eject Warning

Upon exiting the Mobile Connection Manager application, this message regarding proper PC Card eject instructions appears. In order to turn off the alert in the future, place a checkmark in the checkbox next to "Do not show this Alert in the future."

NOTE:

You may continue to use the PC5220 after closing the alert window, even with the Software mismatch.

Tray Mode Alert

When minimizing the Mobile Connection Manager from Full Mode to managing the Mobile Connection Manager from the System Tray Mode, an alert will appear asking if you wish to minimize the Mobile Connection Manager or close the application. In order to turn off the alert in the future, place a checkmark in the checkbox next to "Do not show this Alert in the future".

Power On Card Alert

If the PC5220 has been "Powered Off", an attempt to connect by clicking the Connect or Settings buttons will cause this alert to appear. Click Yes to close the alert window and card power on the PC5220 automatically. Click No to acknowledge that the card has been “Powered Off” and close the alert window.

NOTE:

You must turn the power on before making a connection. Access the shortcut menu by clicking on the System Tray icon and select Power On.
