Socket Mobile Digital Phone Card for Data-Capable Mobile Phone manual Introduction, Overview

Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

The Socket Digital Phone Card (DPC) allows you to connect your data-capable mobile phone to a Windows– based mobile computer or Apple PowerBook. Now you can check email, browse the web, connect to your office network and synchronize files— all wirelessly!

When you use the Digital Phone Card, you don’t need a modem, because your data-capable mobile phone simulates one. You can use the Digital Phone Card with any application that you use with a regular modem, such as for email, file transfers or web browsing.

The DPC fits directly into the CompactFlash I/O slot of a Pocket PC, Pocket PC 2002, HPC 2000, Palm-size PC, Handheld PC Pro, pen tablet, or Casio Cassiopeia BE-300 Pocket Manager.

With the included CompactFlash-to-PC Card adapter, you can also use the DPC in the PC Card slot of a Pocket PC, HPC 2000, Handheld PC Pro, Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP notebook or Apple PowerBook.

Your retail box may not completely list all the mobile phones compatible with your version of the DPC. For a complete, up-to-date listing, please visit: www.socketcom.com/product/dpc.htm
