Inserting and Connecting the USB727 Modem
Before you connect the USB727 Modem to your computer, you must first install VZAccess Manager (see the
VZAccess Manager User Guide located on the Installation CD).
When you connect the USB727 Modem, the following should occur once VZAccess Manager has been
installed:
•
Under ideal conditions, the label of the USB727 Modem should be facing up*.
•
The USB727 Modem is powered as soon as you connect it to the Type A USB port of your computing
device. Although the modem is powered, it does not automatically connect to the Internet.
•
The LED indicator on the device lights up.
•
If sound effects are enabled, the computing device may beep.
•
The VZAccess Manager Software starts (unless the auto-launch feature has been disabled).
* A Clip Holder with USB Cable accessory is sold separately through Verizon Wireless. See page XX.
To properly insert the USB727 Modem:
1. Remove the protective cap from the device.
2.
Grip the USB727 by its sides and gently insert the device into the Type A USB port*
(See also Clip
Holder and USB Extension Cable Accessories on page XX)
. The USB727 should fit easily into the USB
port. Do not force the USB727 into the USB port as this may damage both the device and the USB port.
3. The Hardware Icon appears in the system tray (Windows) or on the Desktop (Mac).
The USB727 External Flip-Up Antenna
The USB727 Modem contains a flip-up antenna that helps maximize the RF signal; this is an integral part of the
modem. To raise the antenna, flip-up the antenna by gently gripping the top right side of the external cover with
your forefinger.

is terminated, as some operating systems may be unable to respond to the sudden change in operation,
causing automatic shutdowns or screen freeze issues.
