Why wait to get home to HotSync, check your e-mail, or get the latest news and stock updates? The CardAccess Thinmodem allows you to turn your Handspring into a fully functional Internet computer when you're on the road--without adding bulk and hassle. With the CardAccess Thinmodem Springboard Module, you can link your Handspring handheld computer to the Internet via any phone line. The size of a matchbook, this hardwired modem connects you to a phone line at 33.6 Kbps for quick and painless Internet access. It's also easily upgradable to the 56K V.90 modem protocol for ultrafast downloads.
Designed to slip easily into your Handspring's Springboard expansion slot, this tiny modem needs no setup or configuration and is fully removable. Its energy-efficient design is a minimal drain on your Handspring's batteries, and it won't take up any RAM memory space on your Visor.
The Thinmodem is compatible with the Handspring Visor, Visor Deluxe, Visor Prism, Visor Platinum, and Visor Edge models. It measures only 2.25 by 2.125 by 0.30 inches--and since it barely increases the profile of your Handspring, you can still use most cases.
The Thinmodem comes with onboard HotSync, e-mail, and Web-browsing software for easy connection to your Internet provider. It's color compatible, and you can view the Web on a Visor Prism with the included 16-bit color Browse-it 1.0 browser. The Thinmodem also comes with MultiMail for checking e-mail. The software is plug and play--no downloads or configuration are necessary. Just hook up your modem and get ready to surf.
A 6-foot phone cord with male RJ-11 connector is included for easy hookup. View your modem status on your Visor's screen with real-time data rates and connection status. A battery indicator display tells you when you're running low on juice, and the modem sounds a call-in-progress speaker tone as it connects.
In addition to its small size, the Thinmodem features low-voltage circuitry that consumes one-third less power than similar modems. This feature saves battery power, ensuring that you won't power down in the middle of a download. The Thinmodem's built-in 500 KB of flash memory allows you to keep up with software upgrades to your modem.To upgrade to 56K/V.90 speed, visit the CardAccess Web site (www.cardaccess-inc.com/upgrade_21a.html) and download the software update.
