Care and maintenance
As with any electronic device, the AirCard USB Modem must be handled with
care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines when you use and store
your AirCard USB Modem:
•Do not apply adhesive labels to the SIM card. This may cause it to jam inside
the slot, or prevent it from being inserted properly.
•When not installed in your computer, store the AirCard USB Modem and SIM
card in a safe place.
•The modem should fit easily into your computer’s USB port. Forcing the
AirCard USB Modem into the port may damage the connector pins.
•Protect the AirCard USB Modem from liquids, dust, and excessive heat. (See
the Environmental specifications for maximum tolerances.)
