Telephone Line
You must have a telephone line with a conveniently located connector
(jack) to accept the cable that comes with the modem. If you do not
have a telephone jack near your computer, you should install an
extension before proceeding.
In North America, telephone extension kits and accessories are available
at electronics stores and wherever telephones are sold. You may also
hire an independent contractor or your local telephone company to do
the work. If you want to add a line for this modem, you must contact your
telephone company.
Safety Warning Telecom
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
3. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.
4. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.
5. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
6. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
7. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger Telecommunication
line Cord.
Communications Software
To operate the modem, you must have data and fax communications
software. Data comm software simplifies control of the modem by guiding
you through the process of selecting your serial port, your port speed, and
other variables, and then storing your settings, including frequently called
phone numbers, so they can be recalled with the stroke of a key or the click
of a mouse. The software must be set up, or configured, before you can
use it. You must have Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later to run most prevalent
software packages. If you require software for DOS or for the Macintosh
operating systems, please contact Multi-Tech Sales.
Assemble the Modem
The only assembly required is to mount the feet on the bottom of the
modem. Simply peel the four self-adhesive plastic feet off the backing strip
and press them into the recesses on the bottom of the modem.
