Abstract
An ejection assembly for ejecting a modem from a wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device provides communication capability for a personal data assistant. In one embodiment of the present invention, the ejection assembly includes both an ejector sleeve which holds a variety of modems and a lever arm. The ejector sleeve couples the modem with the wireless communication device to establish connectivity between the wireless communication device and the modem. The ejector sleeve also decouples the modem with the wireless communication device and ejects the modem from the wireless communication device. The modem decouples and ejects from the wireless communication device when a user pushes the ejector sleeve into the wireless communication device, thereby rotating the lever arm. The rotation of the lever arm decouples the modem and ejects the modem from the wireless communication device.
