Care & Maintenance

Upgrading the Modem

The Ripwave Modem is designed to give years of trouble-free service. To ensure operation, read the following care and maintenance instructions.

Keep the Modem free of dust and moisture. If the Modem gets wet, use a towel to dry it immediately.

Handle the Modem gently. Dropping it or mishandling it can cause damage to the plastic shell or the electronic circuitry.

Keep the Modem away from high temperatures. Heat can cause damage to the plastic shell or the electronic circuitry.

Use only a mild detergent and a soft, damp cloth to clean the Modem. Do not use any chemicals or abrasives to clean the plastic shell.

If there is a problem with the Modem, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Report the problem to your Service Provider.

If you are going to upgrade your Operating System after loading the Navini Monitor software, you must first uninstall Navini Monitor prior to upgrading the OS. Otherwise, Navini Monitor will not work. See Uninstall instructions in this Guide.

The Ripwave Modem must be left powered ON whenever you shut down or restart any Windows 98 or ME platforms. If the Modem is off, a blue screen appears on the monitor. In the event this happens you will mostly likely have to power cycle the PC.

There are two different ways to upgrade the software that makes the Modem and Navini Monitor work. Your Service Provider may perform an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade, where the up-to-date software files are transferred wirelessly from the Base Station to your Modem; or provide a downloadable web file or CD-ROM with software that is installed on your PC and used to upgrade the Navini Monitor and Modem.

The latter method is used only if the Modem was not powered on during the OTA upgrade process. The OTA upgrade is normally transparent to the user; in other words, there should be no noticeable service interruption. The web or CD upgrade comes with instructions and takes a minimal amount of time to complete.
