When the modem makes a connection to another modem, it is normal to hear several
clicks during the process of connecting. The clicks do not indicate that anything is
wrong with the modem.

IMPORTANT

When you have established a modem connection with another

will disconnect the modem.

IMPORTANT

If your modem needs repair, take it to an Apple-authorized service

provider. Do not attempt to repair or reinstall modem hardware yourself.
