Care and maintenance
As with any electronic device, the AirCard must be handled
with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines
in using and storing the AirCard:
•
Do not apply adhesive labels to the AirCard. This may
cause the AirCard to become jammed inside the card slot.
•
Optimal signal strength is usually obtained when the
antenna is perpendicular to the modem. The antenna
should bend easily at the hinge. Do not forcefully bend the
antenna.
•
When storing or transporting your PC in a case (such as a
notebook case), remove the AirCard antenna and store it in
a compartment where it cannot be crushed or broken.
•
The AirCard should fit easily into your PC Card slot.
Forcing the AirCard into a slot may damage connector
pins.
•
Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
When not installed in your computer, store the AirCard in
a safe place.
