Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the Express Card Modem must be handled
with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using
and storing the Express Card Modem:
䢇 The Express Card Modem should fit easily into your Express Card or
PC Card slot (with a PC Card Adapter). Forcing the Express Card
Modem into a slot may damage the connector pins.
䢇 Protect the Express Card Modem from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
䢇 When not installed in your computer, store the Express Card Modem in
a safe place.
䢇 Remove the Express Card Modem before storing or transporting your
computer.
䢇 When inserting or removing the Express Card Modem, always grip it by
the sides rather than the end, as this prevents damage to the Express
Card Modem antenna and connector.
䢇 Do not use the Express Card Modem with a handheld computer; it is
designed only for notebook or desktop computers running Windows
Vista, Windows XP, or Mac OS X.
䢇 Do not handle or operate the Express Card Modem while driving or
operating a vehicle. Doing so may distract you from properly operating
the vehicle. In some jurisdictions, operating communication devices
while in control of a vehicle is a criminal offense.
