and phone cable (if connected) and then turn the Dreamcast on its side as

shown in the illustration above so that the modem is on top.

While holding the Dreamcast securely with one hand, press up on the

modem latch with your other hand and then press up with your thumbs on

the edge of the modem.

Usage Precautions

●Always be certain to turn off the Dreamcast and disconnect the power

cable and phone cable (if connected) before removing the modem and

installing the Broadband Adapter.

●If you leave a disc in the Dreamcast while removing the modem, you

could damage the disc. Check to ensure that there is no disc still in

the Dreamcast before removing the modem.

●You could damage the modem if you

attempt to remove it with only one hand.

Always use two hands when removing the

modem.

●Although the modem is attached

somewhat firmly to the Dreamcast, never

use a screwdriver or other implement to

forcibly pry the modem off.

●After removing the modem, store it in a safe place for future use.

●The modem should only be removed by an adult.

Failure to comply with these cautions may

result in personal injury or property

damage from electric shock or other

accidents.

●Never attempt to disassemble or modify the Broadband Adapter.

●Do not leave the Broadband Adapter lying on the floor where

someone could step on and damage the Broadband Adapter, or trip

over it and injure themselves.

●Never allow anyone, especially small children, to play with the

Ethernet cable that connects to the Broadband Adapter. Also never

allow the Ethernet cable to become wrapped around someone’s neck

as it could result in suffocation. The Ethernet cable should only be

handled by a responsible adult.

About the Ethernet Cable

The Ethernet cable that should be used for connection with the

Broadband Adapter will be very similar in appearance to the phone cable

that is provided with the Dreamcast. Be very careful not to connect the

wrong cable.

Pay attention to the following points when connecting the Ethernet cable:

●Use the Ethernet cable specified by your service provider. If your

service provider does not specify a particular cable type Sega

recommends that a category 5 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or STP

(Shielded Twisted Pair), 2-pair (4-wire) cable be used.

●Ensure that the Ethernet cable is connected to the Ethernet

equipment as specified by your service provider.

Usage Precautions

Never connect a telephone line to the

Broadband Adapter. Doing so could

damage it.

Using an Ethernet cable other than that specified by your service provider,

or indicated above, or connecting the cable to something other than

Ethernet equipment, could damage the Dreamcast, the Broadband

Adapter, or the equipment the Ethernet cable has been incorrectly

connected to, or cause the Dreamcast, Broadband Adapter or incorrectly

connected equipment to malfunction.

Phone cable

Before contacting Sega or requesting service, please check the following:

1. Are you using the phone cable instead of an Ethernet cable?

2. Is the Ethernet cable firmly connected to both the Dreamcast and your

Ethernet equipment?

3. Is the Broadband Adapter correctly and securely connected to the

Dreamcast?

4. Are you using software that does not support the Broadband Adapter?

The Broadband Adapter can only be used with software that supports

its use.

5. Is the Ethernet cable the correct configuration for both the Broadband

Adapter and the Ethernet equipment you are using? Check with your

service provider or the Ethernet equipment manufacturer to ensure that

the Ethernet cable configuration is correct. The configuration for the

Broadband Adapter’s connector is noted below.
