V. Understanding Alert Windows
Alerts that are generated by the Mobile Connection Manager explain effects of certain actions you
are enabling by selecting particular functions. You generally can exit an alert by selecting Yes,
No or OK. You also have the option to “turn off” an alert either from the alert window itself, or by
manually shutting it off. To manually shut off an alert, access the Settings tool in the Action Area
of the Full Mode Mobile Connection Manager screen or click the System Tray Icon in the system
tray of your laptop PC to access the shortcut menu. Following are different alerts that may appear
during use.
Call Drop Alert
A visual and audible alert occurs whenever a connection has been inadvertently lost, due to poor
signal strength or being outside a local coverage area. Select OK to acknowledge the notice and
close the window. You may manually turn off this alert by accessing the General tab in the
Settings tool window.
Card Eject Warning
Upon exiting the Mobile Connection Manager application, this message regarding proper PC
Card eject instructions appears. In order to turn off the alert in the future, place a checkmark in
the checkbox next to "Do not show this Alert in the future."

OK to dismiss the dialog.

When minimizing the Mobile Connection Manager from Full Mode to managing the Mobile
Connection Manager from the System Tray Mode, an alert will appear asking if you wish to
minimize the Mobile Connection Manager or close the application. In order to turn off the alert in
the future, place a checkmark in the checkbox next to "Do not show this Alert in the future".

Off” and close the alert window.

You may continue to use the PC5220 after closing the alert window, even with the
Software mismatch.
