Inserting and Removing Your

PCS Connection Card

Before you insert the PCS Connection Card, you must first install the Wireless Connection Manager Software. Once you have completed the installation procedure, you may insert your card into your computer’s PC card slot. The Sprint label should be facing up, and the 68-pin connector, located at the end of the card, should be inserted directly into the computer’s PC card slot.

Note: The PCS Connection Card should fit snugly, but you should be able to insert or remove it easily from your computer’s PC card slot.

A portion (the black section) of the card will remain outside the computer’s PC card slot. This section contains the card’s antenna and the LED (light emitting diode). Because the card is not entirely contained in your computer’s PC card slot, it is important to remove the card when transporting your laptop or notebook.

To remove your card, you must first stop the card using the PC card tray icon , located in the bottom-right corner of your desktop. Click the icon and select Stop from the dialog box.

Once your card has been stopped, press the PC card eject button, located on your computer, and remove the card completely from the PC card slot.
