aAlign the Mini-Card with the connector at a 45-degree angle, and press the Mini-Card into the connector until it clicks.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the Mini-Card, never place cables under the card.

bConnect the antenna cables to the antenna connectors on the Mini-Card by matching the color of the cable to the color of the triangle above the connector. Connect the main antenna cable (white) to the antenna connector with the white triangle. Connect the auxiliary antenna cable (black) to the antenna connector with the black triangle.
