6 Section 1A: Introducing the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card
Package Contents
Your Sprint Mobile Broadband card package contains the following components:
䢇 Sprint Mobile Broadband card by Sierra Wireless (Model AirCard 597E)
䢇 ExpressCard to PC Card adapter (needed only if your computer doesn’t have an
ExpressCard slot)
䢇 Getting Started guide
Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the card must be handled with care to ensure
reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using and storing the card:
䢇 The card should fit easily into your ExpressCard slot or ExpressCard to PC Card
adapter. Forcing the card into the slot or adapter may damage the 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 Remove the card before storing or transporting your computer.
䢇 When inserting or removing the card, always grip it by the sides rather than the
end, as this prevents damage to the card (see diagrams on page 29).
䢇 Do not use the card with a handheld computer; it is designed only for notebook
computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Mac OS X.
䢇 Do not handle or operate the card while driving or operating a vehicle. 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.
