5 5: Care and Maintenance of Your
AirCard
As with any electronic device, the AirCard must be handled
with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines
in using and storing the AirCard:
• Do not apply adhesive labels to the AirCard. This may
cause the AirCard to become jammed inside the card slot.
• 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.
• The AirCard should fit easily into your PC Card slot.
Forcing the AirCard into a slot may damage connector
pins.
• Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
• When not installed in your computer, store the AirCard in
a safe place.
