Section 1B: Getting Started With Your Sprint Mobile Broadband Card 11
Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card must be handled
with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using and storing
the card:
v Do not apply adhesive labels to the card, as they may cause the card to become
jammed inside the card slot.
v The card should fit easily into your PC slot. Forcing the card into a slot may
damage connector pins.
v Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
v When not installed in your computer, store the card in a safe place.
v When storing or transporting your computer, remove the Sprint Mobile
Broadband Card.
v When removing your Sprint Mobile Broadband 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 may damage the card (see diagrams on page 21).
v Do not use the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card with a handheld computer; it is
designed only for notebook computers running Windows
®
XP or 2000.
v If driving or operating a vehicle, do not handle or operate the Sprint Mobile
Broadband 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.
