Connecting to the Telephone Network with
a Direct Cable Connection

The Trumpcard Modem may be directly connected to either a standard
land based telephone line or to a cellular telephone using the cellular
option kit. For cellular installation, refer to the installation instructions
accompanying the cellular option kit.

To directly connect the Trumpcard to a standard land based
telephone line follow these steps:

• Locate the modular cable that has a male RJ-12 connector at one

end and a PCMCIA Modem Adapter connector at the other.

• For a multi-function Trumpcard, the Modem connection is identified

on the back of the PC Card; insert the PCMCIA Modem adapter
connector into the one marked Modem.

• Connect the male RJ-12 connector into the telephone line outlet. If

you wish to have both a telephone and the Trumpcard Modem
connected to a single telephone line outlet, then a telephone
Y-connector is required.

Note:

The PCMCIA Modem Adapter connector is keyed to go in one way

only. If you feel resistance before the connector is fully inserted,
remove the connector, turn it over, and re-insert it.
