6: Care and maintenance of your
USB modem
Rev 1.2 May.07
As with any electronic device, the AirCard USB modem must
be handled with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these
guidelines when you use and store the AirCard USB modem:
• The AirCard USB modem should fit easily into your USB
slot. You may damage the connector pins if you force the
AirCard USB modem into a slot.
• When not installed in your computer, store the AirCard
USB modem and SIM in a safe place.
• Protect the AirCard USB modem from liquids, dust, and
excessive heat.
When you insert or remove the modem, always hold it by the
sides.
The modem's USB connector is adjustable to three positions.
Do not force the hinge past the last point—this may break the
connector. For more information, see the illustration on
page 18.

Battery

We recommend that you fully charge the battery before using
it for the first time.
Use only Sierra Wireless AirCard USB modem batteries
intended for use with this device. Using other batteries and
chargers could be dangerous.
Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another
metal object. Doing so could short circuit and damage the
battery.
If the battery leaks or emits an odor, immediately remove it
from the proximity of any exposed flame. The leaking
electrode could ignite and cause a fire or explosion.
