4: Care and Maintenance of Your
Compass USB Modem 4
As with any electronic device, the Compass USB modem must
be handled with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these
guidelines when you use and store your Compass USB
modem:
• Do not apply adhesive labels to the SIM card. This may
cause it to jam inside the slot, or prevent it from being
inserted properly.
• When not installed in your computer, store the Compass
USB modem and SIM card in a safe place.
• The Compass USB modem should fit easily into your
computer’s USB port. Forcing the Compass USB modem
into the port may damage the connector pins.
• Protect the Compass USB modem from liquids, dust, and
excessive heat. (See the
“Environmental specifications” on
page 34 for maximum tolerances.)
