You can ensure reliable operation and long life of your
AirCard modem by adhering to these guidelines in storage
and use:
•
Do not apply adhesive labels to the AirCard modem or
SIM. This may cause the AirCard modem or SIM to
become jammed inside the slot, or prevent it from being
inserted properly.
•
When not installed in your computer, store the AirCard
modem and SIM in a safe place.
•
The AirCard modem should fit easily into your computer's
PC / Express Card slot. Forcing the AirCard modem into
the slot may damage the connector pins.
•
For AirCard modems with external antennas, optimal
signal strength is usually obtained when the antenna is
"Environ-
pointing straight up. The antenna should bend easily at
on
the hinge. Do not forcefully bend the antenna.
