CARING FOR YOUR PC 5220
Storage
1. When not in use, fold the antenna down and store in a compartment where the card can
be protected from being crushed or broken.
2. Do not apply adhesive labels to the PC 5220. This may cause the card to jam inside the
PC Card slot of your notebook PC.
3. The antenna extends freely, do not forcefully hyper-extend the antenna. This may cause
it to break.
4. The PC 5220 should easily fit into the PC Card slot. Forcing the PC 5220 into the PC
Card slot may cause considerable damage.
5. Your PC 5220 should be stored in a dry and clean place (Storage temperature: - 30° to
65°C [86° to 149°F]). Protect your card from liquids, dust and excessive heat.
ABOUT VERIZON WIRELESS NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess
The PC 5220 operates on Verizon Wireless NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess technologies
that leverage a wireless cellular network called CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access). !CDMA
is a digital spread-spectrum wireless technology that offers reliable, high-speed bi-directional
throughput at speeds ranging from 144 kbps or 2 Mbps for email, corporate databases, and all
the services of the Internet. The high performance PC 5220, designed to leverage CDMA
1xEVDO and 1xRTT network technologies, enables you to both send and receive data/email at
maximum network rates.
Often times when using a dial-up connection, a "network busy" signal appears. That's because
there are "bottlenecks" slowing down the network. With the spread spectrum technology of
CDMA these frustrating bottlenecks are eliminated. In fact, CDMA technology allows a network
to handle more calls than competing digital technologies.!!
