An optional desktop antenna is available for the Ripwave Wireless 
Broadband Access Card. This antenna connects to the Card and 
then sits on a surface next to the laptop. The laptop should be used 
preferably on a desk when the Card is installed. Using the laptop 
with the Card close to the body, such as on the lap, is undesirable. 

d be used if optimal reception cannot be 

btained through the Card antenna. Following is a picture of the 

optional desktop antenna. 
 
 
To connect the desktop antenna to the Card, you must first remove 
the antenna attached to the Card. To remove the antenna, turn the 
antenna down so that it is lying parallel with the Card. Grasp the 
base of the antenna near its connection point and firmly pull the 
antenna away from the card.  
 

o not grasp the top or middle of the antenna as it may break when 

ou try to pull the antenna away.  

nce the Card antenna is removed, connect the desktop antenna by 

serting its connector into the port on the Card.
