Setting Up And Using Your Palm V™
Modem
Before you use your Palm V™ Modem, you must:
■Install the batteries.
■Attach your modem to your organizer.
■Connect an analog phone or wireless phone cable to your modem.
■Configure your computer.
■Configure your organizer.
Installing the batteries
To use your modem, you must first
install two AAA alkaline batteries. The
batteries fit in the compartment behind
the battery door on the back of the
modem.
Note: A diagram in the interior of the
battery compartment shows the
orientation of the positive (+)
and negative (-) ends of the
batteries. When correctly
installed, the clips in the battery
compartment secure the
batteries in place.
Replacing batteries
Under normal conditions, the AAA batteries provide up to two and a
half hours of continuous use. When your modem has approximately
20 percent of battery life remaining, it will sound three short beeps,
which will repeat every 5 minutes until the batteries are drained.
Replace the batteries as soon as possible.
Page 6 Setting Up And Using Your Palm V™ Modem
Attaching Palm V Modem and cables
Your modem has a 10-pin connector that slides into the grooves of
your organizer connector. Make sure your organizer snaps into place
onto the modem latch in the center of the modem.
You can use either the standard RJ11 cable to connect to an analog
phone line, or a wireless phone cable (available separately) to connect
to your cell phone.
Note: It is important to use a standard analog phone line, such as
those used in homes. If you use your modem in an office or
hotel, make sure it is connected to a phone line with a data
port, a fax line, or a modem line. If you use the wrong type of
phone line, your modem emits five beeps. Disconnect the
cable and try a different line.
