CHAPTER 5 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 notebook PC to access
the shortcut menu. Following are different alerts that may appear during use.
Call Dropped 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."

Connection in Progress Alert
A "Connection in Progress" or "Connection is still Active" alert message occurs if you
attempt to select "Exit" or "Power Off" from the System Tray shortcut menu prior to
terminating your connection.
When a connection is in progress, you cannot exit or power off the PC5220 without first
terminating the connection by clicking the Disconnect button from the Full Mode view or
shortcut menu from the System Tray icon.
When this alert message appears, click Yes and your connection will be automatically
terminated. Continue with your intended action. Click No to dismiss the alert message
and keep the Mobile Connection Manager power on and connection active.
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.
