Note: Do not insert the AirCard

710 wireless network card into a

PC Card slot until after

you have

installed the software from the

AirCard 710 CD-ROM.

Note: If you have more than one

type of supported computer, you

can move the AirCard 710

network card from one notebook

PC to another at any time—as

long as you have installed the

proper software and drivers on

each computer.

Note: Every GSM network worldwide operates on one of three radio

frequency bands. The AirCard 710 network card operates only in the

1900 MHz PCS band used in North America. Sierra Wireless also

manufactures the AirCard 750 wireless network card, which supports

all three bands and works anywhere worldwide with GSM coverage.

Note: The fee for service is

usually higher when you are

roaming (connecting to a

network other than the one

belonging to your service

provider).

Note: If you change GSM

service providers at any time

(such as if you move to a new

city), you will need a new SIM

card from your new service

provider, and you must

reactivate your AirCard 710

network card in the new location.
