Notes on
Telephone Lines
To ensure that the modem works properly, know that:
❑ Your modem cannot be used on “party lines”, nor can it be used on toll or
coin-operated lines.
Contact your local telephone company for help if you are not sure about the
suitability of your telephone line.
❑ This modem is intended for use on an analog telephone line, also called a
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. This modem cannot be connected
directly to a digital telephone line, such as those commonly found in
businesses.
Either obtain an analog line or an analog converter compatible with the
telephone line you are using.
