Care and Maintenance  
As with any electronic device, the Express Card Modem must be handled  
with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines in using  
and storing the Express Card Modem:  
The Express Card Modem should fit easily into your Express Card or  
PC Card slot (with a PC Card Adapter). Forcing the Express Card  
Modem into a slot may damage the connector pins.  
Protect the Express Card Modem from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.  
When not installed in your computer, store the Express Card Modem in  
a safe place.  
Remove the Express Card Modem before storing or transporting your  
computer.  
When inserting or removing the Express Card Modem, always grip it by  
the sides rather than the end, as this prevents damage to the Express  
Card Modem antenna and connector.  
Do not use the Express Card Modem with a handheld computer; it is  
designed only for notebook or desktop computers running Windows  
Vista, Windows XP, or Mac OS X.  
Do not handle or operate the Express Card 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.

WARNING (EMI) – United States FCC Information  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits  
pursuant to Parts 2, 22, and 24 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in  
an appropriate installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can  
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not  
occur in a particular installation.  
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,  
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of  
the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the notebook PC.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
WARNING (EMI) – Canada  
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise  
emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference causing  
equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of the  
Department of Communications.  
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques  
applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la  
norme sur le matériel brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003  
édictée par le ministre des Communications.

Important Safety Information  
Important Notice (page 30)  
Safety and Hazards (page 30)  
Important Notice  
Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and  
reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed,  
corrupted (i.e., have errors), or be totally lost. Although significant delays  
or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sprint  
Mobile Broadband Express Card are used in a normal manner with a  
wellconstructed network, they should not be used in situations where  
failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to  
the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury,  
death, or loss of property. SPRINT SPECTRUM L.P. accepts no  
responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in  
data transmitted or received using the Sprint Mobile Broadband Express  
Card, or for failure of the Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card to  
transmit or receive such data.  
Safety and Hazards  
Do not operate the Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card in areas  
where blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be  
present, near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any  
equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In  
such areas, the Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card MUST BE  
POWERED OFF. It can transmit signals that could interfere with this  
equipment.  
Do not operate the Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card in any aircraft,  
whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sprint  
Mobile Broadband Express Card MUST BE POWERED OFF. When  
operating, it can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard  
systems.

Section 3C. Important Safety Information  
 
       
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sprint  
Mobile Broadband Express Card while in control of a vehicle. Doing so  
will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that  
vehicle. In some jurisdictions, operating such communications devices  
while in control of a vehicle is an offense.
