Troubleshooting setup problems

V-Series User’s Handbook

Setting Up Your V-Series System

Turn the volume control up on the speakers. Check the volume level 
settings of the Windows Multimedia Control Panel. (Refer to the 
Microsoft Windows 98 setup and installation manual for information 
about the Multimedia Control Panel.)

My modem won’t dial.

Make sure the telephone wall jack you are using is live by plugging a 
regular telephone into it and listening for a dial tone. 

If you hear a dial tone, disconnect the telephone from the wall jack 
and reconnect the modem cable to the telephone wall jack and to the 
modem’s Phone Line jack (see page 7), making sure the cable is 
securely plugged into both jacks. 

If this still doesn’t work, try using a different phone cable.

Windows 98 won’t load.

Refer to the Microsoft Windows 98 setup and installation manual and 
the CD that accompanied your computer.

I have a hardware or Windows 98 problem that hasn’t been 
addressed by any of these troubleshooting techniques.

For iDOT.com hardware or Windows 98 setup questions or problems, 
call iDOT.com Technical Support at 800-838-5265

The technical support number is for original (iDOT.com) equipment

Note: 
Modems are 
optional. Your 
system may not 
include a modem.
