Installing the Modem

ARDWARE INSTALLATION
Your FM560LKI is housed in a Type II PCMCIA case. It will install in a Type II
or Type III 68 pin PCMCIA slot. PC Card slots are polarized and the modem will
install only in the correct orientation. Notebook computers usually have their slots
located on one side of the computer. To insert the modem, side it gently into the
opening of the slot keeping it straight. Apply an even pressure until that last 1/2
inch, then press firmly until the modem is seated completely into the notebook. If
the PCMCIA slots are recessed, it may be difficult to properly insert modem. Be
sure to apply pressure until you feel the modem click. The illustration below
shows the modem being installed into a typical notebook.
Fig. 1: Installing the Modem
The modem comes with its own dedicated phone cable. This cable has a US stan-
dard RJ-11 connector on one end for the phone line and a special connector that
fits into the modem on the other end. Be careful not to push the computer against
an adjacent object when the cable is in place. This may bend the connector caus-
ing damage to the pins. Keep the area around the computer clear of large objects
so that you can move the notebook freely without hitting the cable or connector.
