Direct connection
The MD300 can be plugged directly into a USB port as shown below. This configuration offers the best portability.
Note:
To avoid damage to the MD300 or your laptop’s USB port, remove the MD300 before placing your laptop into a carrying case.
Caution!
Different laptops have different USB port configurations that may conflict with operation. Use the included extension cable if:
•The USB ports are close together and the modem covers an adjacent port that is needed.
•The modem can not be plugged in directly, e.g., the USB port is recessed and the USB connector on the modem can not reach.
•The USB port is in a position where physical pressure is put on the connector as shown below.
Extension Cable
The extension cable provided is specially designed to work with your MD300. This is a high quality USB cable that is capable of delivering high current to the MD300 when necessary.
Note:
Your MD300 may not operate correctly if you use a standard USB cable in place of the provided extension cable.
The extension cable has two USB plugs. Plug A carries both data and power and plug B carries power only.
