Installation Instructions
Prepare for installation.
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, make sure your computer and all peripheral devices are turned off and unplugged. Disconnect all telephone cables from any existing modems before opening the computer's cover. Touch an unpainted metal area of your computer's case to ground yourself, which protects your equipment from electrostatic discharge.
NOTE: Before you begin, we recommend you uninstall any other modems you have in your system. Refer to your previous modem's documentation for instructions.
Write down your new USRobotics modem's serial number on your Quick Installation Guide. The serial number is located on the white bar code sticker on the modem and on the modem's box. If you ever need to call our Technical Support department, you will need this number, your Product ID Number, and your Model Number to receive assistance.
The Product ID Number is: USR805660B
The Model Number is: 5660B
Step 1: Physically install the modem in your
computer.
Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Unplug your computer and
remove the computer's cover. Remove the expansion slot cover at the back of an
empty PCI expansion slot. PCI slots are usually white in color. The slot cover
is on the back of your computer and covers an opening on your computer's case.
The slot cover could be held in place with a screw or a clip.
Insert the modem into the PCI slot. You may need to rock the modem back and forth while pressing down firmly to properly seat the modem in the PCI slot.
The modem's metal bracket will cover the opening on the back of the computer. If applicable, secure the modem with the screw or clip you removed. Replace the computer's cover.
Step 2: Connect the modem to an analogue phone line.
Plug one end of the provided phone cord into the jack on the modem labeled
. Plug the other end
into an analogue phone wall jack.
CAUTION: The USRobotics 56K PCI Faxmodem requires a standard analogue telephone line. Do not connect your modem to a digital telephone line. Digital lines are commonly used in office buildings and hotels. If you are unsure whether your line is analogue or digital, ask your network administrator or your local telephone company.

receive a message informing you of an incoming call. In addition, if you
subscribe to Caller ID service, the number of the incoming call will be
displayed in the computer's message window. You will then have the option to
accept the call or to ignore it. If you choose to accept the call, another
message will appear notifying you of the length of time that the provider's
system will wait on hold before the data connection is terminated. You can then
return to the connection when the call is completed without losing the
connection.
If you are connecting to a server that does not support V.92, you will receive
a message informing you of an incoming call. You will then have the option to
accept the call or to ignore it. If you choose to accept the call, your data
