Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the Express Card Modem must be handled with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using and storing the Express Card Modem:
⬤The Express Card Modem should fit easily into your Express Card or PC Card slot (with a PC Card Adapter). Forcing the Express Card Modem into a slot may damage the connector pins.
⬤Protect the Express Card Modem from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
⬤When not installed in your computer, store the Express Card Modem in a safe place.
⬤Remove the Express Card Modem before storing or transporting your computer.
⬤When inserting or removing the Express Card Modem, always grip it by the sides rather than the end, as this prevents damage to the Express Card Modem antenna and connector.
⬤Do not use the Express Card Modem with a handheld computer; it is designed only for notebook or desktop computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Mac OS X.
⬤Do not handle or operate the Express Card Modem while driving or operating a vehicle. Doing so may distract you from properly operating the vehicle. In some jurisdictions, operating communication devices while in control of a vehicle is a criminal offense.
