If you typed a command but did not receive an OK
response from your modem, the E0 and Q1

enable echo and responses, type ATE1Q0 and
press Enter.
Problem
: The modem speaker volume is too low or too

Solution:
Your modem has a small speaker on board that

If the software allows you to control the volume,

If the software does not have speaker settings, add
one of the AT commands listed below to the
initialization string:
L1 for low volume
L2 for medium volume
L3 for highest volume
M0 to turn the speaker off entirely
For example, if you want the volume low and the
software uses the initialization string AT &F, change
it to AT &F L1.
