7-8 Government Approvals
Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the apparatus, if as a result, it then
ceases to conform to the standards against which approval was granted.
All apparatus connected to this modem, and thereby connected directly or indirectly
to the British Telecom Public Switched Telephone Network, must be approved
apparatus as defined in Section 22 of the British Telecommunications Act of 1984.
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signaling, only the
performance of the DTMF signaling is subject to regulatory requirements for correct
operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the equipment is set to use
DTMF signaling for access to public or private emergency services. DTMF signaling
also provides faster call set up.
The modem may not be used on extension wiring that makes use of plug pins 1 and 6.
If in doubt, advice must be obtained from a competent telecommunications engineer.
Difficulties may occasionally be experienced from other apparatus connected to the
BT PSTN via the modem apparatus. Such difficulties may include the following:
difficulty in making calls
problems in telephone conversion being experienced by both parties to the call
Initially, normal operation will be possible. However, changes to or modernization of
the network (taking place in the normal course of events) may result in the apparatus
being connected to a network service with which it was not designed to be
compatible. Failure of the apparatus to work under these circumstances may not be
the responsibility of the network operator.
If these difficulties occur, contact your product supplier or your Compaq Authorized
Reseller in the United Kingdom.
This device is intended for auto-answering of incoming calls. Under normal
conditions, callers will be accustomed to calls being answered within 10 seconds, and
a majority of callers will abandon calls that are not answered within 45 seconds.
Several options are available for auto-answering operation. The default setting is for
two incoming rings. This is the recommended setting for normal operation by most
computer users.
