2.3 MC 218 Design

The Ericsson Mobile Companion MC 218 has a sleek, oblong design. The sophisticated outer

casing is made of dark grey plastic, with a lid of bluish grey plastic with the Ericsson logo placed

on the front in an indentation within the plastic.

At the back of the unit there is a connection for RS 232 cables, an infrared port, a main battery

compartment covered by the battery cover and a small speaker

. On the left-hand side of the MC 218

you can find a plug for the mains cable and a slot for the 3-volt CR2032 backup battery. A touch

pen slides into the right side of the unit. Located just beside the pen there is a slot for a compact

flash card and a microphone. On the front of the MC 218 there are three buttons (record, stop and

play) for the Voice note function.

The unit has two hinges covered with a piece of dark grey plastic at the back, allowing it to be

easily opened and closed.

The MC 218 has a sizeable keyboard with large, dark grey keys and white letters. Several extra

functions on certain keys are operated in conjunction with the Fn key. The extra functions are

printed on the keys below the letter, digit or main function. By pressing the Fn key at the same

time as the space key the backlight is switched on.

The black and white screen of the MC 218 has ½ VGA width, 640 x 240 pixels, 16:1 contrast, 16

greyscales and a bright backlight. Below the screen quick launch icons are located for some of the

most important applications (Desktop, Contacts, Calendar, My Phone, Message, Internet, Word,

Sheet and Extras).

2.5 Accessories

Accessories for the MC 218 are already on the market but they are not Ericsson branded. A mains

adaptor and compact flash memory disks are also available.

2.6 Interfaces

2.6.1 Power Supply

The MC 218 can be powered either through batteries or a DC adaptor. Included in the MC 218

package are two LR6 alkaline batteries and a 3V backup battery. The backup battery is placed in

the holder located underneath the MC 218 and the two alkaline batteries are placed in the holder

at the back of the MC 218. You can also use an external power supply, a 6V DC power adaptor.

Important! Only use an adaptor, which has the positive connector in the centre and the ground

connector in the shield.

2.6.2 RS 232 Serial Port

The RS 232 port is located at the back of the MC 218. This port is used for serial communication

with a PC to synchronize files. The RS 232 is a serial protocol and the MC 218 supports the

standard RS 232 protocol.

2.6.3 Infrared Modem

The built-in infrared modem is located at the back of the MC218, next to the RS232 serial port.

The modem has been developed according to the IrDA standards (Infrared Data Association). The

IrDA Infrared data link is compatible with most Ericsson GSM 900/1800/1900 Phones (see the

chapter about compatibility). IrDA 1.0 allows data to be transmitted at the speed of 115.2 kbps

but currently the GSM system can transfer data at a speed of 9.6 kbps.

For the best performance, place the Ericsson Mobile Phone and infrared modem no more than a

metre away from and at a 30°angle to the Ericsson Mobile Companion’s infrared port.

The modem’s power consumption in operation is between 20-40 mA depending on compression

rate and the power consumption in standby is less than 2 mA.

When using the Ericsson Mobile Phone with the Ericsson Infrared Modem attached the power

consumption increases to about 10% additional power consumption compared to using the

mobile phone without the infrared modem.

Both the 3V and 4V Ericsson Infrared Modem adaptor can be used together with the MC218.

Included in the box is a 4V-modem adaptor. However, the customer will be given the

opportunity to upgrade to a 3V-modem adaptor by means of a voucher supplied in the box.

3.1 Compatible Phones

The idea of the MC 218 is that it provides a mobile phone and palmtop, which work together in

perfect harmony. The concept is one of a divided solution where you can “Take what you want

where you want.” This means that the phone is completely compatible with all Ericsson four-volt

and three-volt GSM 900/1800/1900 phones. These phones are currently:

3.2 Digital Camera Compatibility

Included in the MC 218 is a unique Ericsson program, Postcard. This program allows the

customer to send pictures, drawings and photographs via the e-mail system in a functional and

user-friendly way. Together with this program it is possible to use a digital camera with an

infrared interface to transmit photographs directly to the MC 218 and send the photograph via e-

mail. The MC 218 should be compatible with all digital cameras that use the IR Tran-P. Cameras

that have been tested and verified as compatible with the MC 218 are:

•Casio QV-7000SX

•Sharp VE-LC25

•JVC GC-S1

3.3 PC Software Compatibility

The MC218 is developed to be compatible with a large range of PC software. The compatible

software is:

For EPOC Word:

•Microsoft Word 97, 95, 6.2

•WordPerfect 8, 7, 6, 5.1

•Lotus Ami Pro 3.0, 3.1

•Microsoft Works 4, 3

For EPOC Sheet

•Excel 97, 95, 5, 4

•Lotus 123 wk 4, 3,1

•Quattro Pro 8, 7, 6, 5

For EPOC Data

•Access

•Foxpro 3, 2.6, 2.5, 2.0

•Dbase 5, 4, 3

•CSV

For PIM (Contacts and Calendar)

•Lotus Organizer 97, 97 GS

•Schedule+ 7.5, 7

•Outlook 98, 97

3.4 EPOC Compatibility

The EPOC release ER5 used by the MC 218 is completely backward-compatible with earlier

versions of the EPOC operating system, so most of the existing EPOC programs will work

perfectly with the MC 218.

However, you should be aware of the following:

1. A few third party OPXs used undocumented and unsupported features

of the OS (e.g. obtained by reverse-engineering INI files etc).

This means that these third-party developers will need to change,

rebuild and re-release their OPXs in order for them to work on ER5

devices.

2. However, one major third-party OPX developer (responsible for

Systinfo.OPX etc) has agreed to transfer their OPXs to Symbian to

develop and support. Symbian will be releasing these OPXs into EPOC

World shortly, including a version of Systinfo that runs on ER5.

3. A new ER5 DBMS utility OPX called dbUtils will also be available.

This OPX helps overcome certain incompatibilities in ER5 DBMS. This

OPX (and the incompatibilities) are documented in the ER5 OPL SDK.

4. WINS OPXs are completely incompatible. This is due to BC changing

between ER3 and ER5. The implications are that developers will need to

rebuild and re-release any WINS versions of their OPXs (end-users are

not affected by this). This change is documented in the ER5 C++ SDK.

3.5 PC Synchronization

PC synchronization, and interaction with a desktop PC, is extensive with the MC 218. The MC

218 is not only a perfect mobile communication companion but also a very good companion for

your desktop PC.
