Chapter 3 Using Your PowerBook 39
Inserting and Ejecting a PC Card
When inserting a PC Card, make sure the label is facing up and the card is level. You’ll
feel some resistance as you slide in the card. When the card is firmly seated in the slot,
it clicks into place and an icon appears on the desktop. You can eject a PC Card when
your computer is on or off, but not when it is in sleep.
To eject a PC Card:
1 If the computer is turned on, drag the card’s icon to the Trash.
2 Push the PC Card Eject button once to release the button.
3 Push the button again to eject the card.
4 Pull the card out of the slot and then push the Eject button again to set it flush against
the computer.

Understanding AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking
Your PowerBook has AirPort Extreme technology installed. AirPort Extreme offers an
easy and affordable way to provide wireless Internet access anywhere in the home, at
work, or in the classroom. Instead of using traditional cables, AirPort Extreme uses
wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide wireless communication
between multiple computers. Through a wireless network, you can set up access to the
Internet, transfer files, play multiplayer games, and more.
The AirPort Extreme technology on your PowerBook is compatible with the Apple
AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Express, the original Apple AirPort Base Station,
and any 802.11b- or 802.11g-compliant products.
Note: Wireless Internet access requires AirPort Extreme technology, an 802.11b or
802.11g access point such as an AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Express, or AirPort
Base Station, and Internet access (fees may apply). Some Internet service providers are
not currently compatible with AirPort. Range may vary with site conditions.
