Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the  
jack is specifically designed for wet locations.  
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless  
the telephone line has been disconnected at the network

Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm; there is  
a risk of electrical shock from lightning.  
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak.

MultiModemDSVD Quick Start Guide  
Step 1: Mount the Feet  
The modem comes with a strip of self-adhesive plastic feet,  
which you can optionally mount on the bottom of the modem.  
To install the feet, simply peel them from their paper strip and  
press them into the recesses on the bottom of the modem.  
Step 2: Change the Speaker Jumper  
To change the speaker jumper, see your User Guide.  
Step 3: Connect the Modem to Your System  
Placing the modem in a convenient location, connect it to  
your computer’s serial port, to the telephone line, to AC  
power, and, optionally, to your telephone. For voice  
operations, connect it to the supplied headset or, optionally, to  
a microphone and a speaker or sound card.

MultiModemDSVD Quick Start Guide  
RS232 Connection  
Plug one end of the serial cable into the RS232 connector on the  
modem and the other end into a serial port connector on your  
computer, such as COM1 or COM2.  
Line Connection  
Plug one end of the phone cable into the modem’s LINE jack and  
the other end into a phone line wall jack.  
Note: The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE jack.  
Do not plug the phone into the LINE jack or the line cable into the  
PHONE jack.  
Phone Connection  
For voice-only calls, you can optionally plug a telephone into the  
modem’s PHONE jack.  
Speaker Connection (MT5600DSVD only)  
Plug the speaker plug of the supplied headset into the SPKR jack  
on the side of the modem. Optionally, use a 1/8-inch-plug male-to-  
male stereo patch cord to connect the SPKR jack on the side of  
the modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card.  
If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an amplified  
speaker directly into the SPKR jack.  
Microphone Connection (MT5600DSVD only)  
Plug the microphone plug of the supplied headset into the MIC  
jack on the side of the modem. Optionally, plug an unamplified  
microphone into the MIC jack. The microphone should have a 1/8-  
inch mini plug.  
Power Connection  
Plug the power supply module into an AC power outlet or surge  
protector. Plug the power supply’s cable into the PWR jack on the  
modem.  
For protection against power surges and other transient voltages,  
we recommend that you plug the modem into a surge protector  
rather than directly into a wall outlet, preferably one that provides  
protection against electrical spikes on the telephone line as well as  
on the power line. Please note, however, that not even a surge  
protector can guard against damage from a nearby lightning strike.  
For maximum protection during an electrical storm, you should  
unplug all your computer equipment.

MultiModemDSVD Quick Start Guide  
Note: Use only the power supply supplied with the modem. Use of  
any other power supply will void the warranty and could damage  
the modem.  
Power-On Test  
Test the modem by turning it on (a power switch is located on the  
right side). When you apply power, the modem performs a  
diagnostic self-test, indicated by several indicators flashing for a  
second or two, after which the 56 indicator should light. If this does  
not happen, check that the power switch is on, the power supply is  
solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live. If these measures do  
not work, see Chapter 5 of the User Guide, “Solving Problems.”  
Step 4: Install the Modem Driver  
If you use Windows 98 or above, you must install the modem  
driver, which is installed using the Windows Plug and Play feature.  
Follow the four-step procedure below. If you use another operating  
system, see the User Guide.  
1. Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then turn on  
your computer. Windows should detect your new modem and  
open the Install New Modem wizard.  
2. Insert the MT5600DSVD System CD into your CD-ROM drive,  
and then click OK.  
3. Windows installs and configures the modem.  
4. Click Finish to exit.  
For Windows NT, the Install New Modem wizard presents one  
additional prompt before Step 2. At this prompt, select Don’t  
detect my modem; I will select it from a list, and then click  
Next. A dialog box with a list of manufacturers and a list of modem  
models appears. Select your modem. Continue with Step 2 above.  
Step 5: Install Data Communications Software  
Data communications software is designed to send and receive  
messages. Multi-Tech includes PhoneTools communications  
software with your modem. However, the modem will work with most  
data communications software. To install PhoneTools, insert the CD  
into the CD-ROM drive; click the PhoneTools icon. You will be  
asked to choose your language. The software automatically loads  
onto your PC.
