The Setup Wizard will guide you through the steps to
-
create an e mail service. You may need to contact your
ISP for the information required to complete the setup.
Receiving and Sending E-Mail
Your radio uses the cellular phone to connect to your
ISP. Make sure the phone is secure and connected.
Begin the modem session by connecting the modem
cable (or serial cable with a null modem) to your
computing device. Press and release the modem door on
the radio near the recessed bumps. Connect the cable to
-
the radio's 25 pin connector. Start your e
and connect to the ISP. The radio will receive the phone
number from your PDA and instruct the phone to dial
the number. While connecting, the audio from your
radio will be briefly muted and you will hear the tones
being generated as the modem establishes a connection.
When the connection is complete, the audio will return.
-
When you end your e mail session your radio will
instruct the phone to hang up.
Cellular Phone Reception
If the reception of the cellular signal weakens the error
rate of the modem will increase. If you are having
difficulty connecting or sending and receiving data the
cellular signal may be too weak. To ensure good
3-44
signal conditions, the cell phone display should show
a minimum of three to four bars for signal strength.
The volume on the phone handset should be set to
three bars for best results.
Text Based Information Services
Your radio can be used to gather information using
enhanced Radio Data Systems (RDS) while you are out of
the vehicle. The radio can provide text
such as traffic and weather. This is done through a
nationwide network of FM stations. You do not need to
know which station is providing this service, the radio will
-
mail program
search out the station when not being used. Your dealer
can provide details on how to obtain this service.
You can program the radio to automatically wake up
twice daily, for example, at 7 AM and again at 4:30 PM.
If your vehicle is off, the radio will wake up at these
programmed times to gather the information. Although
the radio is awake and receiving data, it will appear to
be off. There will be no sound or display. It may take
up to 15 minutes for each update. The information
will then be available for review when you enter your
vehicle. If the vehicle is on at the time of the scheduled
update, the update will not be performed. In addition
to the user programmable times, the system will
automatically update the information when you turn
the ignition off and leave the vehicle.
