AirCard 710/750 Network Card Installation Guide

Central and South America. The AirCard 750 is a tri-band product that operates on the 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz bands used in Europe and Asia.

Like GSM mobile phones, the AirCard 710/750 network card requires a SIM card (also known as a “smart card” or “smart chip”), provided by your wireless service provider, in order to function. For more information, see "SIM card overview" on page 6.

Care and maintenance of your

AirCard

Do not apply adhesive labels to the AirCard. This may cause the AirCard to become jammed inside the card slot, or prevent it from being inserted properly.

Optimal signal strength is usually obtained when the antenna is fully extended (applies to the AirCard 710 only) and perpen- dicular to the card. The antenna should bend easily at the hinge. Do not forcefully bend the antenna.

When storing or transporting your PC in a case (such as a notebook case), retract the AirCard antenna (AirCard 710) or remove the AirCard antenna (AirCard 750) and position the computer where the antenna tip cannot be crushed or broken.

The AirCard should fit easily into your computer’s PC Card slot. Forcing the AirCard into the slot may damage the connector pins.

Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat (see "Environmental specifications" on page 36 for details).
