I bought a pair of these devices and am having a hard time with them.

(1) Can these devices be hooked up to an RS232 device without a level shifter?
(2) Timeline shipped a manual but it's missing pages 6-9, 21,23 and 25
(3) They also shipped a few pages of schematics, what are these for?
(4) Any hints on battery operation. Don't want to smoke these things
by accident.

I've called Timeline, they weren't very helpfull. They strongly
suggested that Proxim wouldn't be too happy if I called them.
