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.
