Installation
1. Slide the card, connector side first, into the slot until it seats. Use caution not to pull or snag
the antenna connector.
2. If the card is difficult to seat in the slot, remove the card, turn it around and re-install.
• The antenna connector must be positioned up and toward the front of the device (near the
display).
• Gently snap the antenna cables into the connectors on the wireless client card. Use caution
not to damage either the antenna cable connectors or the connectors on the wireless client
card. Connect all antenna cables to the PCMCIA wireless client card.
3. Replace the endcap, making sure all connections are secure and ribbons/antennas are not
crimped between the endcap and the body of the mobile device.
Removal

2. Use caution not to pull or snag the antenna connector on the wireless client card, if installed.
If you anticipate keeping the PCMCIA or CF card out of the mobile device for a long period of
time place it in an enclosed electrostatic-protected storage container. Store in an area that is
protected from dirt, moisture, and electrostatic contact.
