Safety Precautions Continued  
FCC Part 68 & Class B Notices  
Your Wireless Modem System complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide  
the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. These numbers are shown on  
the label on the base unit.  
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC  
Rules. These limits provide reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a residential  
area. However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating  
properly. To eliminate interference you can try one or more of the following corrective measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna  
Increase the distance between the system and the radio or TV  
Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the radio or TV  
Read the Troubleshooting section of this manual for directions on remedying the problem.  
Lightning  
Your Wireless Modem Jack System has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from  
surges in the telephone line. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your system. Lightning damage  
is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that  
you unplug the system during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.  
Important Notes On Operation  
Do not plug Modem Jacks into power strips or surge protectors.  
Modem Jack Extension does not operate during a power outage.  
Modem Jack System can only be used for single phone line.  
Be sure to plug Base unit (two jacks on side) in first before Extension unit (one jack on side).  
If you cannot get a dial tone, unplug both phone jacks and reset units following the section titled  
“Trouble Shooting”on page 8.  
It is very important that directions are followed in order. In the event of a problem unplug both units,  
remove all cords and start again.  
Industry Canada Equipment Notice  
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment  
meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as  
prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Documents(s). The Department does not  
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the  
facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an  
acceptable method of connection.  
The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation  
of service in some situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier.  
Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment , or equipment malfunctions, may give  
the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,  
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This  
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.  
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the  
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Getting Started  
Unpacking  
Carefully remove units from packaging. If there is any visible  
damage, DO NOT attempt to operate the equipment. Notify your  
dealer or shipping carrier immediately. Keep this guide for future  
use.  
System Contents  
• Base Unit  
The base unit has two  
modular telephone jacks on  
the right side and a green  
indicator light.  
• Extension Unit  
The extension unit has one  
jack on the right side and a green indicator light. This is the  
unit that can be moved from location to location to create a  
modem jack in an electrical outlet.  
• Telephone Cord (6’)  
A 6 ft. telephone cord is provided to connect  
the base unit to the existing wall phone jack.  
Installation  
Follow the steps below to install the Wireless Modem Jack System.  
NOTE: To ensure proper performance, it is important to  
install the Base Unit FIRST then install the Extension Unit.  
Also ensure that both units are securely plugged into the wall  
outlets.  
Base Unit  
1. Plug one end of the provided telephone cord into either jack on  
the right side of the base unit, and the other end into any  
existing wall phone jack.

the jack on the side of the Wireless Modem Jack Extension  
Unit.  
4. Your computer modem is now ready to operate.  
Under certain circumstances where static is present in your  
telephone line, the Wireless Modem Jack may not filter or remove  
such static. This condition can affect computer modem  
performance. Try installing the base unit and or the extension unit  
in another electrical outlet.  
Security Programming  
Once steps 1-5 have been completed in the installation sequence  
above, and the units have been installed and connected to the set-  
top-box, you can now set the security. Follow the easy steps below to  
set the security feature for the units.  
1.Using a small pointed object,  
press the black recessed button  
on the side of the base unit. The  
green light on the lower front  
right hand corner of the base unit  
will come on. This will stay lit  
during the security programming  
sequence. Once the button is pressed, you now have (5) minutes  
to program your first extension unit.  
2. Now press the black recessed  
button on the side of the  
extension unit. The green light in  
the lower front right hand corner  
of the extension unit will flash  
once. Programming of that unit  
is now complete. (If the green  
button is flashing repeatedly, your base unit is not in  
programming mode. You will need to go back to step one.)
