7. Start hotComm

   At the end of the update, hotComm starts automatically.

   Wait while hotComm goes online (connects to the 1stWorks VNS server). When hotComm is online, then you can coonect to others and accept calls from them.

   Am I online yet?

   Look at the hotComm icon in the lower right corner of your Windows taskbar near the time. It is a headset. When the earphones turn red and blue, hotComm Lite is online. When the earphones are white, it is offline.

   

   It may take time for hotComm to go online, so please wait. If hotComm never goes online, contact 1stWorks Support.
