Caution:
Your computer can use only
a public-switched telephone network (PSTN).
Do not use a PBX (private branch exchange) or
other digital telephone extension lines.
Use of phone lines other than PSTN can damage your modem.
If you are not sure which kind of
phone line you are using, contact your
telephone company.
Many hotels or office buildings use digital telephone extension
lines, so check before connecting the telephone cable in
such places.
If the modem is damaged by your incorrect use, an additional charge is required for repair.
To use the telephony functions, you need to connect a telephone line to your computer.
DANGER!
To avoid shock hazard, do not connect
the cable to or disconnect the cable from the telephone outlet
on the wall during electrical storms.
When your computer has a modem/fax port with a square receptacle,
first connect the ferrite-core end (connector ) of the
telephone cable to the modem/fax port;
then connect the other end (
) to
the telephone outlet on the wall.
(Ref #39.)
Note:
If you use the DAA/Telephony Kit (available as an option),
see reference #95.
