Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the USB modem must be handled with care to
ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using and storing the USB
modem:
vThe USB modem should fit easily into your USB slot. Forcing the USB modem
into a slot may damage the connector pins.
vProtect the USB modem from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
vWhen not installed in your computer, store the USB modem in a safe place.
vRemove the USB modem before storing or transporting your computer.
vWhen inserting or removing the USB modem, always grip it by the sides rather
than the end, as this prevents damage to the USB modem.
vTo avoid the risk of explosion, use the same battery model when replacing the
battery. Properly dispose of the used battery.
vThe USB modem’s USB connector is adjustable to three positions. Do not force
the hinge past the last position—this may break the connector. For more
information, see the picture on page19.
vDo not use the USB modem with a handheld computer; it is designed only for
notebook or desktop computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP,
Windows 2000, or MacOS X.
