Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the PCS Connection Card must be handled
with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using
and storing the card:
4Do not apply adhesive labels to the card, as they may cause the card
to become jammed inside the card slot.
4The card should fit easily into your PC slot. Forcing the card into a
slot may damage connector pins.
4Protect the card from liquids, dust and excessive heat.
4When not installed in your computer, store the card in a safe place.
4When storing or transporting your notebook computer, remove the
PCS Connection Card.
4Optimal signal strength is usually obtained when the antenna is
raised and pointed up at a 90 degree angle. Do not forcefully bend
the antenna past 180 degrees.
4When removing your PCS Connection Card, always grip it by the
sides of the card rather than the top. Never insert or remove the card
while holding the antenna, this action will damage the card.
4Do not use the PCS Connection Card, with a handheld computer; it is
only designed for notebook computers.
4Only use with notebook computers running supported Windows
Operating Systems (Windows®98SE, 2000, Me, XP).
4If driving or operating a vehicle, do not handle or operate the PCS
Connection card. Doing so may distract the you from properly operating
the vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating communication
devices while in control of a vehicle is a criminal offense.
