Safety Warnings
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
5. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
6. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Communications Software
To operate the ZDX, you must have data and fax communications software.
Data comm software simplifies control of the modem by guiding you through
the process of selecting your serial port, your port speed, and other variables,
and then storing your settings, including frequently called phone numbers,
so they can be recalled with the stroke of a key or the click of a mouse. The
software must be set up, or configured, before you can use it. You must have
Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later to run most prevalent software packages. If
you require software for DOS or for the Macintosh operating systems, please
contact Multi-Tech Sales.
Assemble the Modem
The only assembly required is to mount the feet on the bottom of the modem.
Simply peel the four self-adhesive plastic feet off the backing strip and press
them into the recesses on the bottom of the modem. Alternately, or
additionally, you can use the self-adhesive Velcro patches to mount the
modem to a vertical surface or to keep it from being dislodged on a horizontal
surface.
If you use the Velcro patches, we recommend that you mount them where
they will not obscure the labels on the bottom of the modem. The ZDX has
no special placement restrictions, but we recommend that you place it where
you can see the indicators on the front panel.
