My Creative Wireless USB Adapter does not connect with my Bluetooth devices. Why? One of the following may have occurred: • The remote device is not turned on. • The remote device is out of the connection range. If you are using different classes of devices, the distance over which you can communicate with your devices varies. • There is an object obstructing the radio transmission between the device and your computer. • There is an interference from a nonremote device, for example, a cordless phone. Operation Can my transmitted data be intercepted by other Bluetooth users? No. When you pair your modem to your Creative Wireless USB Adapter, you are creating a secure link between the two devices. Your devices contain a unique Bluetooth security key to ensure that only paired devices are communicating with each other in a secure environment. Can your Creative Wireless USB Adapter work with notebooks, computers, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)? Yes, if these devices are compliant with Bluetooth version 1.1 (or higher) and support the required profile. For example, your Modem Blaster Wireless establishes a dial-up session through Creative Wireless USB Adapter to connect to the Internet by using the Dial-up Networking profile found on both devices. Frequently Asked Questions B-4 My modem dials but is unable to connect to the Internet. Why? The access number, username or password may be wrong or non-functioning. There may also be excessive line noise generated by other devices using the same line. Try the following: • Verify that your dial-up settings, such as your access number and username, are correct. • Use a different initialization string. • Use your modem on a different access number. • Disconnect other devices on the same line as the modem, and ensure that your modem is directly connected to a wall outlet telephone jack, and not through a splitter, fax machine or similar device. What do I do if my modem is unable to dial out? The modem driver may be corrupted, there may be problems with the Bluetooth or serial port connection, or third-party software or drivers may be conflicting with your modem’s software. Try the following: • Uninstall all modem drivers (including old ones) on your computer, and then reinstall the drivers for your modem. For more information on uninstalling drivers, see "Uninstalling Serial Modem Drivers" on page 5-2. • Use the modem on a different serial port. • Disable third-party applications, such as fax or PDA software, as these applications may prevent the modem from functioning. Frequently Asked Questions B-5 How do I resolve hardware conflicts? Hardware conflicts may occur when two or more peripheral devices are set to use the same I/O address, IRQ line or DMA channel. If you are not sure which device is causing the conflict, you can isolate the source of the difficulty by temporarily removing all devices (except your modem and essential devices such as the disk controller). After that, add the devices back one at a time until the device that is causing the conflict is found.

Do the following: • Make sure the telephone cable is attached to the telephone jack. • Check that all devices are turned on. This may also be due to interference on the telephone line that is connected to your modem. Try moving the telephone line away from all power sources, monitors, printers and computer cables. Why does my modem connect to the Internet at speeds less than 56 Kbps? Connection speeds are affected by line conditions in your area. Also, FCC regulations are such that it is not always possible to achieve the maximum data rate. Why does my computer show the Internet connection speed at 115 200 bps? Your computer is showing the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) speed between the modem and the Wireless USB Adapter, and not the modem connection speed. Frequently Asked Questions B-7 The modem or communications software is unable to detect that the remote user has hung up. Why? The modem or communications software relies on the dial tone, busy tone or period of silence to detect that a remote user has hung up. This method of detection may not work during one of the following situations: • Your local telephone system does not generate the dial or busy tone when the remote user hangs up. • The period of silence for the modem or communications software to detect that the remote user has hung up is not long enough. • The modem or communications software cannot detect a different dial or busy tone. For example, if you are connecting to a PABX system, the dial or busy tone generated is different from the usual dial or busy tone. To resolve this problem, prompt the remote user to respond. This may, however, result in a long delay before the communications software responds to the remote user hanging up. To minimize this delay, modify the following settings: • Voice message recording time • Number of prompts • Time to wait for a response after prompting Where can I locate the AT Command set for my modem? The AT Command set can be found on the Installation CD in the atcomm.txt file. While connecting to the Internet using Dial-up Networking, a Serial Port or Fax connection error message appears. Why? You are using more than one service that utilises the same COM port. You can only use the dial-up networking, serial port or fax service at any one time. One of the following may have occured: • You tried launching Bluetooth Fax services after connecting to the Internet using Dial-up Networking. • You tried launching Bluetooth serial port services after connecting to the Internet using Dial-up Networking.
