Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your EDGE PC Card and may violate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR levels above the recommended limits (see below). - Page 48 Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson PC Cards are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
- Page 49 Emergency Calls EDGE PC Cards manufactured by Sony Ericsson do not support voice calls, hence their use for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies) is not possible. Inserting and removing the SIM card – precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD) Do not touch the SIM card connectors.

TCPWindowSize should be changed from the default Windows setting of 16k for Windows 2000, or 64k for Windows XP. Sony Ericsson recommends a TCP/IP packet size of 43200 for optimum performance with the PC Card. An MTU size of 1450 is also considered optimal for EDGE networks. - Page 66 If you have previously optimised TCPWindowSize, for example as directed by a broadband internet service provider, then check whether that setting is global or specific to the network adaptor over which the broadband connection is made. It is preferable that all TCPWindowSize settings are specific to the network adaptor involved, since this ensures that each individual connection is correctly optimised.
