Preliminary Setup
Quick Start Checklist
To configure your device for a local Internet service provider (ISP),
you need to know the following information. You can get this information from your existing ISP or from the ISP Resources list on
pages 16 and 17 of this guide. You will need:
• Dial-in username ____________________________________
• Dial-in password _____________________________________
• E-mail log-in username _______________________________
• E-mail log-in password ________________________________
• Local access phone number ___________________________
• DNS _______________________________________________
• Alt DNS ____________________________________________
• POP3 server ________________________________________
• SMTP mail host _____________________________________
Note: If you use AOL or MSNTM, you can connect to their home pages but not to their
services or electronic mail.
Connecting the Hardware
Installing the modem in the Pocket PC is simple:
1. Firmly insert the Pretec CompactModem into the
CompactFlash slot on the top of the Pocket PC with the
50-pin connector facing the CompactFlash slot. The
modem label should be facing in the same direction as
the Pocket PC screen when inserting. Use the arrow on
the label as a guide for proper insertion. You will hear a
click when firmly connected.
2. Connect the Analog Phone Cable to the modem. The
keyed connector will not allow incorrect insertion. Insert
the other end of the Analog Phone Cable (RJ-11 cable)
into a standard telephone outlet.
