5.3.6 Using the USB Modem Extension Y Cable

• The UM100C Modem package includes an extension USB Y-shaped cable.

Although the Y cable is not required for use with your UM100C Modem,

it offers increased performance for your UM100C Modem under certain

operating conditions. Simply insert the USB connector into the USB port of

your computing device to deliver power boost, increased RF performance,

and to solve clearance issues.

Using the USB Modem Extension Y Cable:

1) Plug the single end of the Y-shaped cable into the UM100C Modem.

[A]

2) Depending on the condition you are trying to solve (power boost, increased

RF performance, or clearance issues), plug either one of the two connected

ends of the USB modem extension Y cable into the Type A USB port(s) on your

computer.

Note: The USB modem extension Y cable connector labeled #1, is the primary

data power cable used to either extend the UM100C modem away from your

computer allowing you to locate the modem in a more optimum signal location

or solve any computer USB port clearance issues. The USB modem extension

Y cable connector labeled #2, is a power boost Y cable and must be used with

connector #1 to provide the modem up to 1Amp of current for use in weaker signal

areas.

3) The device is connected to and powered by the computer as soon as the USB Y

cable is plugged properly into the appropriate Type A USB port(s).

4) Click

Connect.
