Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, the USB modem must be handled with care to ensure
reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using and storing the USB modem:
ⅷ The USB modem should fit easily into your USB slot. Forcing the USB modem into a slot
may damage the connector pins.
ⅷ Protect the USB modem from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
ⅷ When not installed in your computer, store the USB modem in a safe place.
ⅷ Remove the USB modem before storing or transporting your computer.
ⅷ When inserting or removing the USB modem, always grip it by the sides rather than the
end, as this prevents damage to the USB modem.
ⅷ Do not use the USB modem with a handheld computer; it is designed only for notebook
or desktop computers running Windows Vista™, Windows XP, or Mac OS X.
ⅷ Do not handle or operate the USB modem while driving or operating a vehicle. Doing
so may distract you from properly operating the vehicle. In some jurisdictions, operating
communication devices while in control of a vehicle is a criminal offense.
