Installing/removing a SIM card
1. Shut down the computer - make sure the Power indicator is off.
2. Remove the AC adaptor and all cables connected to the computer.
3. Turn the computer upside down.
Present aviation agency regulations and airline policies typically require
that you turn off your computer, disable Wireless communication in BIOS
setup, and turn off any wireless devices, before boarding an aircraft.
■ While it is foreseeable that during certain non-critical phases of your
flight, certain computer and/or wireless technologies might be
permitted for use on board an aircraft, use of wireless WAN
communication is normally prohibited. Since this computer is equipped
with the wireless WAN feature, please be sure to disable Wireless
communication in BIOS setup even if use of wireless LAN and/or
Bluetooth™ is permitted. For this computer model, Wireless
communication in BIOS setup controls all wireless communications
and wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth™ cannot be selectively turned on
without also turning on wireless WAN. If the Wireless communication is
enabled in BIOS setup, wireless WAN radio waves may be transmitted.
■ Unapproved use of computer and/or wireless communication might
interfere with navigation and aircraft communication systems, possibly
causing serious injury.
