Support 101 - Where do I begin?

1. Determine what product you have by finding your Product Code/Number.
2. Find your Product Code/Number on the Support Main Menu Page, then go to your Product's Support Page.
3. View or download files. Look at our example Support page below, it points out locations on the page for files and offers quick explanations for file types available.

Note: product codes, product IDs, and model numbers are all very similar.
Product codes typically include "USR", 2 number country code, 4 number model number, and 1 letter revision version.
Product IDs include 2 number country code, 4 number model number, and 2 number revision version.
Model numbers are 4 numbers and do not include revision version.

You have chosen Internal Modems/ISDN.
Your Product Code is printed on a label attached to the product board behind the metal bracket. If you do not have the product code written down or do not have the box your product came in, you may need to open your computer and look for the label.

For specific instructions on opening your computer, consult the manufacturer's manual.

All new (manufactured after 2000) USR modem product codes start with a "USR" and are followed with a series of numbers and possibly a letter (for example, USR5610B). Some labels list the product number instead of the product code (for example, 005610-02). If you don't see a USR####, look for a series of numbers that look like this ######-## (6 digits - dash - 2 digits). Older modems may follow a different format and may have a 3C, 3CP, 00 (for US as shown above), 32 or 26 (Canada) preceding the numbers. Some may also leave out the dashes, as in the examples above. Older products may not have a seperate product code, but it may be the first 8 digits of the serial number as shown in the first example.

If you have a product code of USR + 6 numbers (for example, USR012884B) OR you did not purchase your product in the U.S. or Canada then you most likely need to go to another support section. Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific have different support. Go to www.usr.com/support and select your region.

If you still cannot find your product code, refer to the Modem Identification Wizard. Prodict ID is also the product number. The last 2 numbers are the revision version (01=A, 02=B). It may not work with all products.

NOTE: Sometimes the FCC model number matches your Product Code, but many of the older modems will not. For example Model 0460 is not the actual model number but the FCC number. Be sure to look at the label closely. Also note that some of the older products may now be out of warranty and may not be listed on our support pages.

Note: If you found your Product Code/Number and do not see your product in the lists, it is either no longer supported or it is manufactured for distribution in another region. There are regional links at the top of the main support page.

Not able to determine your product code: E-mail a technician.
