Installing a GPRS Compact Flash Case and Card
If you use the GPRS CF case, the unit is no longer rated at IP54 standard and is not safe for industrial use where
moisture and dust are present.

The GPRS CF case includes a handstrap. It must be removed to use a handle on the PDA.
Prior to installing/using the GPRS card, you must sign up for GPRS data service with your local wireless carrier. You must also obtain a SIM card from your wireless carrier that plugs into the CF card before installing
