WARNING
Before installing the Modem card ensure the PC is switched OFF and the mains cord removed. If servicing the
Modem card ensure the PC is switched OFF, the mains cord unplugged and the Telecommunications Line cord is
disconnected from the Modem Card.
EUROPEAN NETWORK COMPATIBILITY DECLARATION
The equipment has been designed to work in the public switched telephone networks (PSTN) in the following countries:
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Portugal, Ireland,
Switzerland, Austria, Iceland.
The equipment may have interworking difficulties in PSTN networks in other countries. Please contact your equipment
supplier if it is desired to use the equipment on another network.
Electrical Safety
Before installing this equipment you must ensure that the power drawn by this card, together with the host and any
auxiliary cards drawing power from the host, is within the rating of the host power supply.
The equipment must be installed such that
with the exception of the connections to
the host, clearance and creepage
distances shown in the table below are
maintained between the card and any
other assemblies that use or generate a
voltage shown in the table.
Clearance Creepage (mm)
2.0 2.4 (3.8) Up to 50 Vrms or Vdc
2.6 3.0 (4.8) Up to125 Vrms or Vd c
4.0 5.0 (8.0) Up to 250 Vrms or Vdc
4.0 6.4 (10.0) Up to 300 Vrms or Vdc
The larger distance shown in brackets applies where the local environment within the host is subject to conductive
pollution or dry non-conductive pollution which could become conductive due to condensation. Failure to maintain
these minimum distances would invalidate the approval.
The analogue telecommunications interface is intended to be connected to telecommunication network voltage (TNV)
circuits which may carry dangerous voltages. The telephone cord must remain disconnected from the telecommunications
system until the card has been installed within a host which provides the necessary protection of the operator.
If it is subsequently desired to open the host
equipment for any reason, the telephone cord must
be disconnected prior to effecting access to any
internal parts which may carry telecommunication
network voltages.
Voltage used or Generated by Host
or Other Cards
Safety level of the various connectors:
Telephone Line Connector = TNV3
PCI connector = SELV
These indications are classified as per safety
standards EN60950/A4:
TNV3: Telecommunications
Network Voltage
SELV: Safety Extra Low Voltage
Except for the edge connector which plugs into the hosts expansion slot, clearance distance (Xmm) and creepage
distance (Ymm) as given in the above table, must be maintained between the communication card and any other
assemblies which use or generate a hazardous voltage.

Chapter 2 Before You Begin
2.2 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 during the installation:
» Use a grounding strap - 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 computer chassis.
» If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface
of your computer chassis before you begin installation, and again
every minute or so until the installation is completed.
2.3 Installation Notes
• Computers vary in configuration, appearance and layout. Therefore, the
installation procedures in this manual apply generally and you should
compare the illustrations here with your computer.
• A Philips screwdriver is required.
• The documentation for your computer should come in handy during the
installation. Have it ready with you.
• 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 card.
Refer to the documentation of your existing modem for details.
If your existing modem is Plug-and-Play, you may proceed to install your
