Install the PC Card Client Adapter
Caution The following procedures and physical connections apply generally to
normal and conventional PC card slots. In cases of custom or non-conventional
equipment, be alert to possible differences in PC card slot configurations.
1Before you begin, examine the PC card client adapter. One end is a dual-row, 68-pin PC
card connector. The card is keyed so that it can be inserted only one way into the PC card
slot. The slot in your computing device must be a PC card Type II slot (this includes slots
that support both the Type II and Type III cards).
Note: The PC card slot will be on the left or right side of the computer, depending on the
model.
2For Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems, remove any other PC card from the card slot.
3For Windows 95 or Windows 98 systems, turn the computer on before inserting the PC card
client adapter.
For Windows NT systems, turn the computer off before inserting the client adapter.
Caution Never force the PC card client adapter into the PC card slot. Forcing it will
damage both the PC card and the slot. If the PC card does not easily insert, remove the
card and re-insert it.
4Hold the PC card client adapter with the logo facing up and insert the card into the slot,
applying just enough pressure to make sure it is fully seated.
Proceed to the appropriate driver installation for your operating system.

Safety Information for the Cisco Aironet 350 Series PC Card Client
Adapter
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure
to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. Cisco
Aironet 350 Series products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and
ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this
manual and the user guide on the Cisco Aironet 350 Series PC Card Client Adapter product CD
will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
•Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
•Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or
touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
•Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
•Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit date unless the antenna is connected; if not,
the radio may be damaged.
•Antenna use:
—Always orient a dipole antenna such that it is at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from your
body.
—High-gain, wall-mount or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally
installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 12 inches (30 cm) or more
from your body. Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna
manufacturer for proper installation requirements.
—Warning for laptop users: In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure limits, it is
recommended when using a laptop with a PC client adapter, that the adapter’s
integrated antenna should not be positioned closer than 2 inches (5 cm) from your
body or nearby persons for extended periods of time while it is transmitting (or
operating). If the antenna is positioned less than 2 inches (5 cm) from the user, it is
recommended that the user limit exposure time.
