   <title>Modems</title>
   <p>After starting <app>Modem Manager GUI</app>, the following window will be displayed:</p>

   <p><media type="image" mime="img/png" src="figures/startup-window.png"> The startup window of <app>Modem Manager GUI</app>. </media></p>
   
   <p>You can see the modem devices available on your system. Click on one of the entries to use that device.</p>

   <p>After clicking on a device, it might be needed to activate it first, if it was not otherwise activated on your system. <app>Modem Manager GUI</app> will ask you for confirmation in that case.</p>
   
   <p>Be patient after connecting a removable device such as an USB stick or PCMCIA card. It may take a while until the system detects it.</p>
   
   <note style="hint">
     <p>You cannot use multiple modems at the same time. If you click on another entry in the device list, the previously activated one will be disabled.</p>
