Installing 802.11b Radio Card (if
applicable)
Note: This information applies only if you have a
PB41 Printer with an 802.11b Radio.
Before installing the 802.11b Radio C ard ensure
that the protective battery tab strips are in place
or remove the batteries before installing the radio
card.
Your PB41 Printer with an 802.11b radio has been configured
at the factory. FCC mandates that the radio card not be
installed for shipment. The following information guides you
through the process of installing the radio card.
The radio card is packed separately in an anti-static plastic
bag taped to the inside of the printer box.
1 Remove the radio card cap.
2 With the logo facing down, insert the radio card between the

3 Carefully push the card into the connector until it is fully
seated.
4 Replace the radio card cap.
Before Using Your Printer For The First
Time
Remove the protective tab strips underneath the batteries. They
are placed there to keep your printer from discharging during
shipment.
5 Push against the battery lock tab and lift the battery up be-
fore pulling on the protective tab strips. These tabs prevent
the battery contacts from touching and therefore, no charging
occurs.
6 If your printer won’t charge after removing the protective
tabs, check for and remove any residue in the battery pin
area.
