1.1 Getting Acquainted with the SpeedTouch™
Delivery check Check your SpeedTouch™ package for the following items:
• One SpeedTouch™USB or SpeedTouch™330
• 2m DSL cable (RJ11/RJ11, RJ14/RJ14)
• The SpeedTouch™ Setup CD-ROM
In the event of damaged or missing items, contact your product dealer for further
instructions.
Other materials Your SpeedTouch™ shipping carton may also include release notes, safety and confor-
mity declarations and other materials.
The SpeedTouch™ Unlike most traditional modems, the electronic circuitry of the SpeedTouch™ has been
shaped into a stylish body.
Note As you notice, there is no separate mains plug, cord, or power adapter. This
is because the SpeedTouch™ is powered via the USB connection.
ADSL service The appropriate DSL service must be available at your premises:
• ADSL service must be enabled on your telephone line.
• As both telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available from the same
copper pair, you will need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling
ADSL and telephone signals.
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only install splitter/
filters yourself if these are qualified for that purpose.
Computer Your computer must be equipped with a USB port capable of powering attached USB
devices. You may also use a USB hub to connect the SpeedTouch™.
Note Make sure you are not using low-powered USB ports to connect the Speed-
Touch™. If you are not sure of the type of USB port, see the User's Guide of
your computer or USB port hub.
