If you are prompted to restart your PC, click Yes. Otherwise,
restart your PC from the Start menu. (You must restart your
PC to complete the driver installation.) The correct driver is
then installed.
Windows Me
To verify that the correct driver is installed:
䊳 Locate the existing driver
䊳 Replace the driver with the Windows Me driver from the
PCS Connection Card installation CD.
Locating the Existing Driver
1. Open the Control Panel by selecting Start > Settings >
Control Panel.
2. If the System icon is not in the window, view all Control
Panel options.
3. Double click the System icon.
4. Click the Device Manager tab.
5. Locate the PCS Connection Card entries by using the “+”
signs to expand the listings. (For example, to see all the
installed modems, click the “+” sign to the left of
Modems.) The card should have 3 entries:
䊳 The card should display under Multifunction adapters as
Sierra Wireless AirCard 550 PC Card Parent.
䊳 The card should display under Modems as Sierra
Wireless AirCard 550 Modem.
䊳 The card should display under Network adapters as
Sierra Wireless AirCard 550 Adapter.
If the listings above do not appear, identify the listing for
the PCS Connection Card by ejecting the card. This causes
the driver listing for the card to disappear from the list.
Reinsert the card again to cause the driver listing to reap-
pear. You can identify the entries for the PCS Connection
Card by observing which entries are affected when you
eject and reinsert the card.
Replacing the PCS Connection Card Driver
1. If the installation CD is not already in your CD-ROM
drive, insert it. If the CD start-up menu appears, use the
exit option in the lower left corner of the screen to exit
the menu.
