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

    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>
    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.
