6. Holding the modem by each corner, align the gold edge with the empty
expansion slot. Push down gently until the modem snaps into the slot.
The diagram shows horizontally aligned expansion slots. Some
computers have vertically aligned slots. The instructions apply to both
styles.
You need to apply a little pressure to seat the modem properly.
Sometimes a gentle back and forth motion helps fit the modem all the
way into the slot. If you feel resistance, the modem may not be
properly lined up with the slot. Do not force it into the slot. Remove the
modem and try again.
7. Once the modem is inserted, fasten it firmly into place using the screw
that you removed in step 5.
8. Replace the computer’s cover and fasten it with the screws you
removed in step 4.
9. Locate the phone wall socket you plan to use for the modem. If you
have a phone plugged into this wall socket, disconnect the telephone
cord from the socket.
The phone wall socket you use must be for an ANALOGUE phone line
(the type found in most homes). Many office buildings have digital
phone lines. Be sure you know which type of line you have. The
modem will be damaged if you use a digital phone line.
10. Plug one end of the phone cord included with the modem into the
TELCO socket.
11. Plug the other end of the cable into the phone wall socket.
