CARING FOR YOUR PC 5220
Storage
1. When not in use, fold the antenna down and store in a compartment where the card can be protected from being crushed or broken.
2. Do not apply adhesive labels to the PC 5220. This may cause the card to jam inside the PC Card slot of your notebook PC.
3. The antenna extends freely, do not forcefully hyper-extend the antenna. This may cause it to break.

ABOUT VERIZON WIRELESS NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess
The PC 5220 operates on Verizon Wireless NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess technologies that leverage a wireless cellular network called CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access). !CDMA is a digital spread-spectrum wireless technology that offers reliable, high-speed bi-directional throughput at speeds ranging from 144 kbps or 2 Mbps for email, corporate databases, and all the services of the Internet. The high performance PC 5220, designed to leverage CDMA 1xEVDO and 1xRTT network technologies, enables you to both send and receive data/email at maximum network rates.
Often times when using a dial-up connection, a "network busy" signal appears. That's because there are "bottlenecks" slowing down the network. With the spread spectrum technology of CDMA these frustrating bottlenecks are eliminated. In fact, CDMA technology allows a network to handle more calls than competing digital technologies.!!
BroadbandAccess is Verizon Wireless' premier data service, offering one of the fastest, fully mobile wireless Internet data solutions available today. This ultra-high-speed wireless service, provides users with typical speeds of 300-500 kbps with bursts up to 2 Mbps. BroadbandAccess is also known as CDMA 1xEVDO, a 3G (third generation) technology.
!
NationalAccess is the name for Verizon Wireless' national wireless Internet service. This is also known as CDMA 1xRTT, another variant of 3G technology, and delivers bi-directional peak packet data speeds of up to!144 kbps.
Together, Verizon Wireless NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess offers a national mobile wireless data solution.!
