If the signal strength is poor or you cannot
log on, the most probable causes are that your
computer is out of range of the base or that the
base is not switched on. Check that the base
was properly set-up by following instructions
in this user guide and move closer to the base.
If you still cannot log on to the base,
see ‘Help’
page 48. (See page 20 for more information on
using the BT On-Air Monitor.)

on your computer before installing BT On-Air:
If you ticked the Internet connection during
the Internet Connection Settings part of the
BT On-Air installation, then you are now ready
to connect to the Internet. You can now turn to
the next section for instructions on how to use
the modem.
If you do not have an Internet connection
installed or want to update an existing one:
Instructions for setting up an Internet
connection depend on your computer and your
chosen Internet Service Provider. Refer to the
Windows online help on how to set-up an
Internet connection or follow the instructions
given by your Internet service provider.
When installing your new Internet
connection or updating an existing one,
select “BT On-Air Wireless Modem”
