Before unpacking the W-PCI or W-PCIe card or installing it into your PC please make sure that you are attached to the electric ground to avoid damaging static sensitive components on the card or in the computer.
Power off your computer, unplug it from its power source and disconnect or turn off all peripherals. Carefully remove the cover of the computer and locate a free PCI or PCI express slot. Firmly insert the card into the slot. Close the computer cover and switch on the power.
WARNING: THE A/D CONVERTER ON THE W-PCI AND W-PCIe CARD MAY DEVELOPE ENOUGH HEAT TO PRODUCE BURNS OR START A FIRE IF PLACED NEAR FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. WAVECOM WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THIS WARNING.
