E-mail
This section provides you with all the information you need to get setup for sending
and receiving e-mail.
Selecting a Mobile Phone Configuration
Your PV Unit connects to an access point of your e-mail service provider
through a mobile phone equipped with a modem. You must specify a
configuration for your mobile phone so your PV Unit knows how to “talk”
with it. You can select one of three preset mobile phone configurations. If
your phone does not work with the preset configurations, you can create
your own configuration using AT commands.
To select a preset mobile phone configuration
1. On the initial screen that appears when you first enter the Mail Mode,
tap the Phone button to display the Phone tab.
2. Tap the button next to the name of the manufacturer (Ericsson, Nokia,
Siemens) of the type of mobile phone you are using.
3. Tap Set to apply your selection.

About AT Commands
AT commands instruct a modem to perform specific operations. You can
use AT commands to establish or break a connection, to send a specific
modem signal, to get for certain data, etc. ManyAT commands are optional,
but some modems require a specific series ofAT commands to be sent at the
beginning of a session in order to connect correctly.
TheATcommands you need to input for your particular mobile phone depend
on the type of phone you are using. See the documentation that comes with
your phone, visit your phone manufacturer’s website, or contact your phone
manufacturer directly for more information. You can find a list of AT
commands at the CASIO website at:
http://www.casio.co.jp/English/
With the PV Unit,AT commands can be used for modem initialization only.
Access Points
An access point is the phone number your PV Unit dials in order to send mail to
or pick up mail from your service provider’s computer. Many people get by with
only one access point, while others may have multiple access points for a single
provider or even multiple providers.
• You can have up to three service providers registered at one time.
Setting Up a New Access Point
This section describes the procedure you need to perform on your PV Unit
to set up a new access point. It also provides details about what each of the
required settings means.
Important!

procedures to contract with an Internet service provider and you already have
