䢇Getting Started guide
Care and MaintenanceAs with any electronic device, the card must be handled with care to ensure
reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using and storing the card:
䢇The card should fit easily into your ExpressCard slot or ExpressCard to PCCard
adapter. Forcing the card into the slot or adapter may damage the connector
pins.
䢇Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
䢇When not installed in your computer, store the card in a safe place.
䢇Remove the card before storing or transporting your computer.
䢇When inserting or removing the card, always grip it by the sides rather than the
end, as this prevents damage to the card (see diagrams on page29).
䢇Do not use the card with a handheld computer; it is designed only for notebook
computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, or MacOS X.
䢇Do not handle or operate the card while driving or operating a vehicle. Doing so
may distract you from properly operating the vehicle. In some states and
provinces, operating communication devices while in control of a vehicle is a
criminal offense.
