Q. Troubleshooting
After inserting the modem, I don't get a response on the screen
A.
Select My Handheld PC,
Control Panel, System,
then Device to check that Slot1 (or Slot2) shows the Targus Pocket Modem installed.
If
your unit cannot locate the Pocket Modem
- Verify that the card is securely inserted into
the slot. If necessary, remove the card and reinsert it.
- Check whether there are any other interface
cards in your computer that use the same COM port address as your modem. If
so, you must set your modem to another COM port address.
NOTE: On most systems, only two COM ports are
available. One of them must be used as either 1 or 3, while the other must be
used as 2 or 4. For example, if a mouse is set to COM 1, your modem should be
set to COM 2 or COM 4. If the COM port address is OK, continue with the next step
- Make sure that the COM port address you use for
your modem corresponds to the port selected in the communications software
that you are using.

Q. Troubleshooting
- My modem dials out but doesn't connect

faulty. Test for noise by connecting a regular phone to the line.

Q. Troubleshooting
- I connect to the internet, but can't transmit any data
A.
Check
the service parameters and TCP/IP protocol parameters specified by
your Internet Service Provider. Use the same parameters to configure
your modem connection.

Q. Troubleshooting
- I get a transmission error, then my modem disconnects
A.
The
most likely cause is the telephone line. If the error rate gets too
high, the modem disconnects and you need to redial and set up the
connection again. Try using a different phone cord or dialing
from another location.
