6: Care and Maintenance of Your 6 AirCard

As with any electronic device, the AirCard must be handled with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using and storing the AirCard:

Do not apply adhesive labels to the AirCard. This may cause the AirCard to become jammed inside the card slot.

Optimal signal strength is usually obtained when the antenna is perpendicular to the modem. 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), remove the AirCard antenna and store it in a compartment where it cannot be crushed or broken.

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

Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.

When not installed in your computer, store the AirCard in a safe place.
