Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the PCS Connection Card must
be handled with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow
these guidelines in using and storing the card:
䊳
Do not apply adhesive labels to the card. This may cause
the card to become jammed inside the card slot.
䊳
Optimal signal strength is usually obtained when the
antenna is perpendicular to the modem. The antenna
should bend easily at the hinge. Do not forcefully bend
the antenna.
䊳
When storing or transporting your PC in a case (such as a
notebook case), remove the antenna and store it in a
compartment where it cannot be crushed or broken.
䊳
The card should fit easily into your PC slot. Forcing the
card into a slot may damage connector pins.
䊳
Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
䊳
When not installed in your computer, store the card in a
safe place.
