Description
You should normally leave this check box cleared. When enabled, the
Windows driver turns the radio transmitter on when the card is inserted
and leaves it enabled even when the card is not in use. You should check
this option if your Windows logon requires you to log on using a dial-up
connection; see Logging on to Windows using a GPRS/EDGE/UMTS
dial-up connection on page 22 for more details. When you click OK to
activate this option, Wireless Manager displays the following dialogue box.
When this option is selected, the Wireless Manager radio power start-up
and shutdown options are disabled.
You can select one of the following options to configure the radio status
when Wireless Manager is started or when it resumes from being in
stand-by:
• Turn Radio On
Select this check box to automatically turn on the radio when Wireless
Manager starts or resumes from stand-by. When Wireless Manager
is running in radio-on mode, the connection is registered to the mobile
network and will transmit signals to the network even if no wireless
connection is in progress. This option is selected by default when
you install Wireless Manager.
• Turn Radio Off
Select this option to automatically ensure that the radio is not turned
on when Wireless Manager starts or resumes from stand-by. When
Wireless Manager is running in radio-off mode no connection is made
to the mobile network. You may perform non-communication related
activities such as, phonebook maintenance. To send or receive
SMS messages, however, you must turn on the radio to make
a connection.
• Ask Me
Select this option to automatically be prompted with a dialogue box
that allows you to set the radio status every time the Wireless Manager
is started. This is a useful feature in areas where radio transmitters
are not allowed such as, aircrafts, hospitals, or blasting areas.
As a best practice, remove your PC card when on an aircraft.
You can select one of the following options to configure the radio status
when Wireless Manager is closed:
• Turn Radio Off
Select this option to turn off the radio when Wireless Manager is closed.
• Reset card
Select this option to turn the radio off and reset the PC card to its
default settings when Wireless Manager is closed.

Wireless Manager closes.
