Installation Assistant is a new software tool that will make
the installation of your modem even easier. It will copy the
necessary files for your modem to your computer, check

you step-by-step instructions or a video presentation on
installing your modem.

Installation CD included with your modem into your CD-
ROM drive. The Modem Installation Assistant should run

The Modem Installation Assistant will then go to work.

When the Assistant tells you to shut down your computer,
refer to Step One of this Guide to continue the installation

*IMPORTANT! In accordance with the ITU-T standard for 56K transmissions (V.90), this modem is capable of 56 Kbps down-
loads. However, the download speeds you experience may lower due to varying line conditions and other factors. Uploads
from users to server equipment travel at speeds up to 31.2 Kbps. An analog phone line compatible with the V.90 standard,
and an Internet provider or corporate host site compatible with the V.90 standard is necessary for these high-speed
downloads.
