Care &
Maintenance
Upgrading the
Modem
The Ripwave Modem is designed to give years of trouble-free
service. To ensure operation, read the following care and
maintenance instructions.
Keep the Modem free of dust and moisture. If the Modem gets
wet, use a towel to dry it immediately.
Handle the Modem gently. Dropping it or mishandling it can
cause damage to the plastic shell or the electronic circuitry.
Keep the Modem away from high temperatures. Heat can cause
damage to the plastic shell or the electronic circuitry.
Use only a mild detergent and a soft, damp cloth to clean the
Modem. Do not use any chemicals or abrasives to clean the
plastic shell.
If there is a problem with the Modem, do not attempt to repair
it yourself. Report the problem to your Service Provider.
If you are going to upgrade your Operating System after
loading the Navini Monitor software, you must first uninstall
Navini Monitor prior to upgrading the OS. Otherwise, Navini
Monitor will not work. See Uninstall instructions in this Guide.
The Ripwave Modem must be left powered ON whenever you
shut down or restart any Windows 98 or ME platforms. If the
Modem is off, a blue screen appears on the monitor. In the
event this happens you will mostly likely have to power cycle
the PC.
There are two different ways to upgrade the software that makes
the Modem and Navini Monitor work. Your Service Provider may
perform an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade, where the up-to-date
software files are transferred wirelessly from the Base Station to
your Modem; or provide a downloadable web file or CD-ROM
with software that is installed on your PC and used to upgrade the
Navini Monitor and Modem.
The latter method is used only if the Modem was not powered on
during the OTA upgrade process. The OTA upgrade is normally
transparent to the user; in other words, there should be no
noticeable service interruption. The web or CD upgrade comes
with instructions and takes a minimal amount of time to complete.
