Section 1B: Getting Started With Your Sprint PCS Connection Card 11
Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the Sprint PCS Connection Card must be handled
with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using and storing
the card:
䢇 Do not apply adhesive labels to the card, as they may cause the card to become
jammed inside the card slot.
䢇 The card should fit easily into your PC slot. Forcing the card into a slot may
damage 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 When storing or transporting your computer, remove the Sprint PCS Connection
Card.
䢇 Optimal signal strength is usually obtained when the antenna is perpendicular
to the card (see the picture below). The antenna should bend easily at the
hinge. Do not forcefully bend the antenna.
䢇 When removing your Sprint 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, as this action will damage the card.
䢇 Do not use the Sprint PCS Connection Card with a handheld computer; it is only
designed for notebook computers running Windows
®
2000 or XP.
䢇 If driving or operating a vehicle, do not handle or operate the Sprint PCS
Connection Card. 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.
