2 User Guide for the Kyocera Passport PC Card
Account Activation
To use Passport, the card must be activated. Activation is the process of configuring your modem to use your account.
Depending on how you purchased your modem, it may have been pre-activated. If the modem has not been pre-activated,
when you insert the modem for the first time, the Activation Wizard will launch automatically. The wizard will guide you
through the activation process.

Care and maintenance
• When not in use, fold the antenna down and store where the card can be protected from being crushed or broken.
• Store your Passport in a dry and clean place. Storage temperature:
30° to 65°C [86° to 149°F].
• Do not apply adhesive labels to Passport. This may cause the card to jam inside the PC card slot of your PC.
• The antenna extends freely. Do not force or hyper-extend the antenna. This may cause it to break.
• Passport easily fits into the PC card slot. Forcing Passport into the PC card slot may cause considerable damage.
• Protect your card from liquids, dust and excessive heat.
• Optimal signal strength is usually obtained when the antenna is perpendicular to the modem. The antenna should bend
easily at the hinge. Do not forcefully bend the antenna.
