CAUTION:
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, make sure your com-
puter and all peripheral devices are turned off and unplugged.
Remove the screw and expansion slot cover at the back of an empty
PCI expansion slot. You will need this screw later to hold the modem in
place. The slot cover is located on the back of the computer and covers
an opening on the computer case. The opening lines up with the PCI
slot inside the computer, which is 3.5 inches long and usually made of
white plastic lined with metal.
CAUTION:
To avoid risk of electrical shock, make sure your
computer and all peripheral devices are turned off and unplugged
from electrical outlets. Disconnect any phone cords from the
wall jack.
Insert the modem, gold edge first, into the slot. The modem
should fit snugly into the slot. The modem’s metal bracket will
cover the opening on the back of the computer. Secure the
modem with the screw you removed. Replace the computer’s
cover. Reconnect and turn on all peripherals.
Plug one end of the provided phone cord into the modem’s
jack and plug the other end into an analog phone wall jack.
When you are not using the modem, you can use a telephone by
plugging the telephone’s cord into the modem’s
jack.

*IMPORTANT! In accordance with the ITU-T standard for 56K transmissions (V.90), this modem is capable of 56 Kbps down-
loads. However, the download speeds you experience may lower due to varying line conditions and other factors. Uploads
from users to server equipment travel at speeds up to 31.2 Kbps. An analog phone line compatible with the V.90 standard,
and an Internet provider or corporate host site compatible with the V.90 standard is necessary for these high-speed
downloads.

NOTE:
Before you begin, we recommend you uninstall any other modems
you have in your system. Refer to your old modem’s documentation for
instructions.
Write the modem’s serial number in the box below. The serial number is
located on the white bar code sticker on the modem and on the modem’s
box.
NOTE:
It is very important that you have your serial number written down for
future reference. If you ever need to call our Technical Support department,
you will need this number to receive assistance.
Make sure that your computer is shut down. Turn off your computer and
all peripheral devices. Unplug your computer and remove the computer’s
cover. If you currently have an internal modem in your computer, remove
the telephone cord from the modem before removing your computer’s
cover.
