In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your hand-held, setup is automatic. Follow the steps outlined under the heading “Establishing A Connection” on page 226 to make a connection. The information in this section is for advanced setup purposes.

If a PIN is required, a PIN entry dialog box is displayed.

Type your PIN, and press [ENTER].
