Connecting the Desktop Antenna

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.

This antenna should be used if optimal reception cannot be obtained 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.

Do not grasp the top or middle of the antenna as it may break when you try to pull the antenna away.

Once the Card antenna is removed, connect the desktop antenna by inserting its connector into the port on the Card.
