Caution - Before operating this device, be sure to place theantenna in the vertical position. This offers the best per-formance of your modem, and, at the same time, reducesthe risk of possible exposure to electromagnetic radiationemanating from the antenna.The antenna must be maintained at least 4 inches (or 10cm) from users and nearby persons to comply with FCCradiofrequency exposure limits (and to reduce the risk ofRF radiation) when the DATA 2000 is in operation."1-1What is the Uniden Data 2000?The Uniden Data 2000 is a wireless CDPD PC Card which enables mostvendors’ laptops, handheld computers, and Personal Digital Assistantswith Type II PC Card slots to communicate with host-based applicationssuch as web servers, intranet servers, databases, dispatch systems, andother host computer systems. The Uniden Data 2000 uses the Internetsuite of protocols running over the CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data)system. The product is fully Windows compatible, supporting Windows95, Windows NT, and Windows CE, and provides a Graphical UserInterface (GUI) which offers the user simplified access to operationalstatus and statistics, as well as the ability to configure, control, and moni-tor the performance of the device. The Uniden Data 2000’s compact sizemakes it an easily portable communications tool that can be stored con-veniently in a briefcase or purse when not in use.▲Uniden Data 2000 Wireless CDPD PC CardUniden Data 2000 Introduction1Uniden Data 2000 Operation & Programming Guide1-1RAISE ANTENNA
▲Uniden Data 2000 Wireless CDPD PC Card1-2What is CDPD?CDPD or Cellular Digital Packet Data is a wireless, public access, pack-et data standard designed to operate over existing analog cellularphone systems. Since it is designed to use existing cellular phone sys-tems, CDPD provides a large coverage area, low service pricing, andfast transaction execution. CDPD’s primary benefit is quick, inexpen-sive, and efficient transmission of data packets over the existing cellu-lar network. Additional benefits include built-in encryption for security(where applicable); a billing structure which charges for message sizerather than on-line time (depending on individual service provider’sservice plans); forward error correction methods that reduce the effectsof noise and interference on the airlink; and availability. 1.3What is the PCMCIA Standard for PC Cards?Over the past several years, mobile computers have experiencedexplosive growth. While prices have fallen sharply, features are becom-ing more advanced and reliability has been greatly improved. One ofthe most notable features of today’s mobile computers is the PC Cardslot. Over the last four years, the personal computer industry has rapid-ly adopted the PC Card slot feature, and today nearly 75 percent of lap-tops include a PC Card slot. This has been the driving force in theinnovation and development of PC Card technology.In 1989, an international standards body and trade association wasfounded, called the PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory CardInternational Association.). This organization was founded in order toestablish standards for Integrated Circuit cards and to promote inter-changeability among mobile computers where ruggedness, low power,and small size are critical. Even though PCMCIA is a rather young technology, it has been quicklyadopted by every major personal computer manufacturer in the world.Since it’s inception, PCMCIA has published a PC Card Standard whichcontains all of the physical, electrical and software specifications forPC Card technology. This standard is in a constant state of improve-ment by the PCMCIA technical committee.1-2
