lUse this product only with UL- and CUL-listed computers.
lNever install phone wiring during a lightning storm.
lNever install a phone jack in a wet location unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
lNever touch uninsulated phone wires or terminals unless the phone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.

Installation Process
Step 1: Mount the Feet
The modem comes with a strip of self-adhesive plastic feet, which you can
optionally mount on the modem. To install the feet, simply peel them from
their paper strip and press them into the recesses on the bottom of the
modem.
Step 2: Change the Internal Jumpers
This step is required only if:
lYou have an MT5634ZBAV and intend to add a monophonic
external speaker (no changes are needed for a stereo speaker)
lYou intend to use your modem on a leased line
f either case applies, see the complete User Guide for instructions on
opening the modem, changing the speaker jumper, and changing the
dial-up/leased-line jumpers.

Power-On Test
Test the modem by turning it on (an on-off switch is located on
the side panel). When you apply power, the modem performs a
diagnostic self-test. The 56 indicator lights, and if a terminal
program is running, the TR indicator also lights. f this does not
happen, check that the power switch is on, the power supply is
solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live. f these measures do
not work, see Trou leshooting, in the complete User Guide.

Then add the following:
Connect the Microphone
For voice mail or speakerphone applications, plug an unamplified
microphone into the M C jack on the side of the modem. The
microphone should have a stereo 1/8-inch mini plug. Do not use a
monophonic microphone.
Connect the Speaker(s)
For speakerphone or voice mail applications, use a 1/8-inch-plug
male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect the SPKR jack on the
side of the modem to the L NE N jack on your sound card. f your
sound card does not have a L NE N jack, use its M C jack. The
stereo male-to-male patch cord can be purchased at a local PC
retail store.
f you do not have a sound card, you can plug an amplified
speaker directly into the SPKR jack.

Quick Start Guide
Step : Install the Modem Driver
f you use Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT 4.0, you must install the modem
driver. f you use another operating system, see the User Guide.
1. Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then turn on
your computer. Windows should detect your new modem and
open the Install New Modem wizard.
Note: f Windows cannot find a modem, your modem may be
turned off, it may be plugged into the wrong connector on your
computer, or the serial cable may be faulty. See None of the
LEDs Light When the Modem s Turned On and The Modem
Does Not Respond to Commands in Chapter 7,
Troubleshooting in the complete User Guide.
2. In the Install New Modem wizard, select Don’t detect my
modem; I will select it from a list, and then click Next. A
dialog box with a list of manufacturers and a list of modem
models appears.
3. nsert the system CD-ROM, and then click Have Disk.
4. n the Install from Disk dialog box, select the drive the CD is in,
and then click OK.
5. A list of modems appears. Select your modem, and click Ne t.
6. Select the port the modem is connected to, and click Ne t.
7. Windows installs and configures the modem.

Step 5: Install and Configure Your Software
Communication programs designed for Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT 4.0
normally do not need to be manually configured since they use the Plug
and Play configuration in the Windows modem driver. Communication
programs designed for DOS and other operating systems, however,
must be manually configured to work with your modem. See the
complete User Guide for configuration procedures.
