The Portable USB Modem driver files for Windows Me are installed in two groups, as described below. The installation wizard begins by installing certain driver files. At that point, Windows Me detects the modem as a new device. Then the installation wizard runs again to install the remaining driver files.
1.Power up your Windows Me computer.
2.Connect the Portable USB Modem to your computer’s USB port. Then connect one end of the provided telephone line cord to your Portable USB Modem and the other end to a telephone wall jack.
3.Windows Me will detect that the new modem is present and launch the Add New Hardware Wizard.

4.At the Add New Hardware Wizard “Windows will search for new drivers…” screen, uncheck the “Removable Media” button (if necessary), and check “Specify a location.”
5.Click the “Browse” button and navigate to the “Windows Me” subfolder of the “Drivers” folder on the MD403A Installation CD. Then click OK. Click Cancel if it prompts you for a floppy disk.
6.The Add New Hardware Wizard “Windows driver file search…” screen appears. Click Next>.
7.Transient progress screens will appear while files are being copied. After the files have been copied to your PC, an Add New Hardware Wizard screen will appear, indicating that Windows has finished installing the first of two drivers.
