Quick Installation Guide

Step 1. Connect Microfilters (If Necessary)
If there are no microfilters included in your package and your ISP did not provide
any, skip to Step 2 of these installation instructions.
If microfilters are required, install one on each telephone device (telephones,
answering machines, and fax machines) that shares the same phone line as the
ADSL signal.
A microfilter is a small device used to lessen the amount of interference between
ADSL signals and telephone signals. Microfilters only need to be used if the
ADSL modem and a telephone device are sharing the same phone line. If
microfilters are not used, you may experience background noise on your
telephone while data is being transmitted. Data transmissions may experience
interruption by telephone calls if a microfilter is not used.
Connect Microfilters to Telephone Devices
To install the microfilter, plug the phone into the microfilter, and then plug the
microfilter into the telephone wall jack. Do not install a microfilter on the cable
that connects your modem to the telephone jack unless the filter has a
connection for both the telephone and the DSL device.
Step 2. Install the Modem and the SureConnect Utility
To install the U.S. Robotics SureConnect ADSL Ethernet Modem and utility,
insert the Installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. If the
installation does not start automatically, go to your desktop and double-click My
Computer, double-click the drive letter associated with your CD-ROM drive, and
then double-click Setup.
Make sure that your computer is on. You should
have your operating system CD-ROM readily
available.
