Connecting to the internet
Your modem is set to automatically connect
to the internet except when you are roaming.
Turn on your computer and insert the modem
into a USB port. While the modem is starting
up, the status light slowly blinks green.
Once the modem is connected to your
wireless network, the status light is solid
green. (The light is amber when roaming.)

safely remove it by gently gripping the edges
and pulling it out of the USB port.
