2.3 Safety Precaution
• Do not remove your card from its protective bag until you are ready to install it.
• Always try to hold your card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic components
on your card.
• Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your card. To prevent such a
damage, you must ground yourself while installing the card:
» Use a grounding strap, which is a coiled wire with a clip at one end and an
elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach the clip
to any non-painted metal surface of your computers chassis.
» If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface of the
computer's chassis before you begin installation, and again every minute or so
until the installation is completed.
2.4 Installation Notes
• The graphics and screen shots shown in this manual may differ from what you see
in your system, but the steps still apply.
• A Philips-type screwdriver is required for your card installation.
• The documentation for your computer should come in handy during the installation.
Have it ready by your side.
• If you have an existing non-Plug-and-Play modem installed in your computer, you
must first un-install its modem drivers before you remove the modem. Refer to your
existing documentation for more details on this.
If your existing modem is Plug-and-Play, you may proceed to install your new
modem.

Frequently Asked
Questions
This chapter provides the answers to the commonly
asked questions on your modem.
Appendix A
What is V.90 ?
V.90 is a new standard approved by the International Telecommunication Union
for 56K analog modems. It is a compromise officially reached between the
two competing standards - X2 (from 3COM/USR) and K56Flex (from Rockwell/
Lucent).
Why am I not able to connect at 56Kbps ?
You will not get exactly 56Kbps due to:
1. The quality of your phone line
Like all data connection, the connection is sensitive to the amount of noise present
in the phone line. Only very clean phone line can get high connection rate or
throughput. If you hear faint hum over the phone, you properly have a noisy
phone line. You may want to check with your phone company to improve the
quality of your line or change to a new line.
2. Interference
If your phone line is connected to the modem via a surge protector, try it without
the surge protector. Most surge protector will interfere with modem
communications.

I have done a diagnostics test of my modem and there is nothing wrong with
it. However when I use a communications software, there seems to be an
error. Why ?
Try to use Microsoft Fax to fax a document. If the sending of a fax is successful,
then the fax function of your modem is working fine.
Try to use HyperTerminal to dial up to a BBS. If the connection is successful,
then the data function of your modem is working fine.
Try exiting the communications software and running it again.
