Warning: If the orientation of your computer’s USB slot or the
thickness of your computer are such that pressure is applied to the
modem’s end or side (as shown by the red circle in the drawing
below), you may damage the modem or your computer. In such
cases, do not insert the modem directly into your computer’s USB
slot; use the USB extension cable instead. See
“Using the USB
extension cable” on page 24.
When you insert the modem on a Windows computer, the
following should occur:
• The modem’s power LED becomes lit.
• If sound effects are enabled, the PC beeps.
• The Safely Remove Hardware icon appears in the system
tray , if it is not already displayed for another device (and
unless the feature has been disabled).

disabled).
The modem is powered as soon as you insert it.
