GPS data is provided over the Sony Ericsson GPS Port. This is a Windows COM Port. When you
install the EC400g, Windows will assign a number, for example COM23. To link a third-party GPS-
enabled application to your EC400g's GPS receiver, you may need to access the application settings
and select the COM port number that Windows has allocated.
The data that the GPS device provides, is in Nautical Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format.
This format is commonly understood by GPS-enabled applications.
Network and subscription requirements
The network subscription you use in conjunction with your EC400 depends on the functions and features
that are available from your network operator. Contact your network operator or service provider to
make sure the options that you require are available (UMTS/HSPDA, GPRS/EDGE and SMS).
Note:
Network operators often provide a number of connectivity options such as WAP and
Internet. These are accessed via different APNs (Access Point Names). Verify the services
that you require, such as Internet, e-mail or corporate VPN (Virtual Private Network) service
are available through your mobile operator and enabled on your subscription.
