V740 ExpressCard USER GUIDE

Using your V740 ExpressCard

Inserting the V740 ExpressCard

Before you insert the card, you must first install VZAccess Manager. Once you have completed the software

installation procedure, you may insert your card into your computer’s ExpressCard slot or card bay. The Verizon

Wireless label should be facing up and the card should be inserted directly into the computer’s ExpressCard slot or

card bay.

When you connect the V740 ExpressCard, the following should occur once VZAccess Manager has been installed:

• If sound effects are enabled, the computer beeps.

• The label of the V740 ExpressCard must be facing up.

• The V740 ExpressCard is powered as soon as you connect it to the ExpressCard slot of your computing

device. Although the ExpressCard is powered, it does not automatically connect to the Internet.

• The Unplug/Eject Hardware icon appears in the system tray (unless the feature has been disabled)

• The LED indicator on the device lights up.

• The VZAccess Manager software starts (unless the auto-launch feature has been disabled).

Note: A portion of the card remains outside the Express Card slot. This section contains the card’s antenna

and the LED (light-emitting diode). Because the card is not entirely contained in your computer, it is

important to remove the card when transporting your notebook computer.

The V740 ExpressCard Flip-Up Antenna

The V740 ExpressCard contains a flip-up antenna that helps maximize the RF signal; this is an integral part of the

ExpressCard. To raise the antenna, flip-up the antenna by gently gripping the top right side of the external cover with

your forefinger.

Removing the V740 ExpressCard

Turning Off the V740 ExpressCard

When the card is inserted into the computer’s ExpressCard slot, it has power and is trying to communicate with the

network. To turn the card off, first terminate your Internet connection session and exit VZAccess Manager

(Alternatively the V740 ExpressCard may be removed after the computing device is shutdown or turned off).

Note: Once you have inserted the V740 ExpressCard, avoid removing it before your Internet connection is

terminated, as some computers may be unable to respond to the sudden change in operation, causing

automatic shutdowns or screen freeze issues.

Removing the V740 ExpressCard

The V740 ExpressCard technology allows you to safely remove the V740 ExpressCard at any time when you are not

connected to the network.

To remove the card, follow these steps:

• Terminate your Internet connection.

• Exit VZAccess Manager
