1. Check if the USB connector is properly plugged in If the modem status indicator labelled ERR continually lights Maybe the included USB driver which allocates a USB serial port is not installed to the control host device yet if that is true disconnect the SAMBA 75 from host device and plug it again and then install the included driver If the modem does not response to the terminal program Check if the USB connector is properly plugged in Disconnect it and connect it again 2 It does not work when travel To use a GSM network outside your own country your account needs to be enabled for International Roaming If this has not been done contact your GSM provider When in regions where GPRS is not available a user can still access their important information with GSM 14 4 kbps data connections 3 can not make data or fax calls Some GSM networks require your SAMBA 75 phone account to be enabled for data and or fax If you do not know whether this applies to you please check with your GSM provider 4 cannot receive data or faxes Check if your application is running To receive faxes you need special software for example WinFax software Most GSM networks supply different phone numbers for fax and data Contact your GSM provider for the numbers and ensure that the fax and data calls being made to these not to the voice call number 5 GPRS connection is slow and unstable Disconnect and conn2.
