Note that the Minstrel S modem does not work with the Handspring Visor or Visor Deluxe; additionally, OmniSky currently supports only a monochrome display. To use the OmniSky service, install the OmniSky software on your Visor and make sure the modem is fully charged, then slide the Minstrel S into your Visor's Springboard expansion slot and turn it on. Tap the OmniSky icon to go to the OmniSky home page, which provides a single interface for the Internet, e-mail, and all of OmniSky's services.

The Minstrel S modem offers two-way wireless access to e-mail, corporate LANs, and the Internet, and it supports popular Palm OS enterprise productivity and synchronization programs. It comes bundled with POP3 e-mail and HTML Web browsing software. In addition, the Minstrel S has 2 MB of flash memory for storing applications. Using cellular digital packet data (CDPD) technology, the Minstrel S delivers data transmission at speeds up to 19.2 Kbps. The modem's sleek design matches the look of the Visor handhelds. It comes with a stub antenna; three LEDs indicating service, data flow, and battery status; and one customizable feature button. Important note about service plan: The OmniSky Minstrel S requires a $39.95 monthly service plan, which allows unlimited usage.
