Powering the Car d On and OffIf you are using your card in an aircraft, hospital, or other environment where the
card may cause interference, you can power the card off (without removing it from

This also allows you to conserve your notebook computer’s battery.
To power the card off:
1. Close any active data connection (page66).
2. Select MENU > Power Off Modem.
