Be sure that the back end of the card (smaller gold finger area) is properly seated into the connector. If you have a tower or mini-tower computer case with a vertical main board, lay the computer down on its side so you can push straight down on the modem card to seat it firmly in its slot. Be sure that the bracket is lined up properly, then screw the bracket into the computer using the screw you removed earlier.

Replace the computer cover.

Connect the telephone cord:

Plug one end of the phone cord into the jack marked LINE. Plug the other end into a phone jack (typically the wall jack where you would normally connect a phone).

OPTIONAL: Plug your phone into the PHONE jack if you want to use a phone on the same line.

If you do not use the supplied telecommunications cord, use an equivalent of minimum AWG 26 line cord.

Plug in your computer and turn it on.

Windows 98/Me Users: As Windows starts up, it detects your new modem. Because the installation program has already provided your computer with the required files, you will see Windows reporting on its progress, but no action is required on your part.
