WARNING
If your computer’s USB slot is vertical, use the USB extension cable.
If the orientation of your computer’s USB slot or the thickness of your computer are such that pressure is applied to the modem’s end or side, you may damage the modem or your computer. In such cases, do not insert the modem directly into your computer’s USB slot; use the USB extension cable instead.
