You can ensure reliable operation and long life of your
AirCard by adhering to these guidelines in storage and use:
•
Do not apply adhesive labels to the AirCard or SIM. This
may cause the AirCard or SIM to become jammed inside
the slot, or prevent it from being inserted properly.
•
When not installed in your computer, store the AirCard
and SIM in a safe place.
•
When storing or transporting your PC in a case (such as a
notebook case), remove the AirCard antenna and position
the computer where the antenna tip cannot be crushed or
broken.
•
Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat (see
'Environmental specifications" on page 51 for details).
•
The AirCard should fit easily into your computer's PC
Card slot. Forcing the AirCard into the slot may damage
the connector pins.
When you insert the AirCard in a notebook PC, the following
should happen:
