Turning Off the Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card
When the card is connected to the computer, it has power
and is trying to communicate with the network. To turn the
card off, Sprint Connection Manager must be closed and the
card must be properly ejected from the Express Card slot.
Note: The card should fit snugly, but you should be able to insert or
remove it easily from your computer’s Express Card slot or
card bay.
Note: The Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card also contains an
antenna that can be used for better coverage; this is an
integral part of the card. To use this feature, flip open the
card's antenna by gently gripping the top right side of the
external cover with your forefinger.
