Care and MaintenanceAs 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:
䢇The USB modem should fit easily into your USB slot. Forcing the USB modem
into a slot may damage the connector pins.
䢇Protect the USB modem from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
䢇When not installed in your computer, store the USB modem in a safe place.
䢇Remove the USB modem before storing or transporting your computer.
䢇When inserting or removing the USB modem, always grip it by the sides rather
than the end, as this prevents damage to the USB modem.
䢇To avoid the risk of explosion, use the same battery model when replacing the
battery. Properly dispose of the used battery.
䢇The 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.
䢇Do 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.
