!If, after the connection time, the LED is still flashing:

Check that the SAGEM F@st™ 800 is connected correctly to the ADSL line (either directly or via a splitter or microfilter).

Check that the miniature RJ11 connector pins are not dirty or damaged.

Check with your Internet Access Provider (IAP) that ADSL mode is definitely activated on the telephone line that you want to use.

Disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable.

Restart your computer (PC or Mac).

Check with your Internet Access Provider (IAP) that the ADSL link provided on this line is compliant with one of the three transmission standards supported by the SAGEM F@st™ 800:

-ANSI T1.413 Issue 2,

-G.992.1 (G.dmt),
