Installing the modem and
software

Note: If you’re running Windows XP, you may require administrative
privileges, depending on the Windows XP installation.
If you’re running Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows 2000, you
must be logged in with administrative privileges to install the modem
software.
If you’re running Windows 2000, your computer might be restarted, as
part of the installation process; save any open documents.

To install Watcher and the modem drivers:

If your computer has a WiFi or Bluetooth adapter, turn it
off. (For instructions, see the user guide or online Help of
your computer).

Remove the protective cap from the USB connector of the
modem.

Note: Do not forcefully insert the
modem. This may damage the
connector pins.

Gently insert the modem into the USB slot. Alternatively:

You can attach the USB extension cable (included in your
package) to your computer’s USB slot, connect the
modem and laptop clip to the USB extension cable, and
then attach the laptop clip to the top of your laptop’s
screen (see page 21 through page 22).

Note: If your computer’s USB slot is vertical, use the supplied USB
extension cable and laptop clip.
Do not insert the modem or the USB extension cable into a USB hub
or, if your keyboard is separate from your laptop, a USB slot on your
keyboard.
