Where’s the power
supply?
Your SpeedTouch™ does not have a separate power supply, simply because it does
not need one. Your SpeedTouch™ is powered through the USB port of your
computer.
Indicator light(s) Your SpeedTouch™ can be equipped with one or two indicator lights. They reflect the
status of the SpeedTouch™ and may be labelled USB and/or ADSL.
At startup, your SpeedTouch™ will go through several phases, also indicated by the
light(s). If your SpeedTouch™ is correctly connected and installed, the light(s) will
turn solid green after startup. This may take up to 12 seconds.
