Before You Begin

Before you begin, we recommend you uninstall any other modems
you have in your system. Refer to your previous modem's documen-
tation for instructions.
Write the Internet Gaming Modem's serial number in the box
below. The serial number is located on the white bar code
sticker on the modem and on the modem box. If you ever need
to call our Technical Support department, you will need this
number to receive assistance.
Make sure that your computer is shut down. Turn off your
computer and all peripheral devices. ALWAYS disconnect the
phone cord from any previously installed modems before
removing the cover of the computer. Unplug your computer
and remove its cover.
Remove the expansion slot cover.

CAUTION: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, make sure your
computer and all peripheral devices are turned off and
unplugged. ALWAYS disconnect the phone cord from any
previously installed modems before removing the cover of the
computer.
Remove the screw and expansion slot cover at the back of an
empty PCI expansion slot. You will need this screw later to
hold the modem in place. The slot cover is located on the back
of the computer and covers an opening on the computer case.
The opening lines up with the PCI slot inside the computer,
which is usually white plastic lined with metal.
Enabling and disabling the
7
modem's Gaming Mode.
Your new Internet Gaming Modem has been designed to
provide the best possible online gaming experience. Once
your modem and its software are installed properly, you will
see on the toolbar on your Windows desktop. This icon
is used to enable the "Gaming Mode" feature on your modem.
To enable "Gaming Mode", simply right-click the icon when you
are not online and select Gaming Mode Enabled. In order to
disable Gaming Mode for normal web browsing, right-click
when you are not online and select Gaming Mode
Disabled.
Insert the modem into an empty
2
PCI expansion slot.
Insert the modem, gold edge first, into the slot. The modem will fit
snugly. You may need to rock the modem back and forth firmly to
properly seat it into the slot.
NOTE: Properly seating the modem in the slot can be difficult,
because it requires more force than some other internal
modems. Use firm downward pressure. When the modem is
properly installed, you will no longer see any part of the gold edge.
The modem's metal bracket will cover the opening on the back of
the computer. Secure the modem with the screw you removed in
Step Two. Replace the computer's cover.
