Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada, and the
British Approvals Board for Telecommunications (BABT) impose certain restrictions
on equipment connected to public telephone systems. See Appendix A for more in-
formation.
Phone Connection
For voice-only calls, you can optionally plug a telephone into the modem’s PHONE
jack.
Microphone Connection
You can optionally plug an unamplified microphone into the MIC jack. The micro-
phone should have a 1/8-inch mini plug. However, this is not necessary for normal
operation, because the MessageSaver has a built-in microphone for hands-free
speakerphone operation.
Speaker Connection
You can optionally use a 1/8-inch-plug male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect
the SPKR jack on the side of the modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card. If
you do not have a sound card, you can optionally plug an amplified speaker directly
into the SPKR jack.
Power Connection
After you have made all other connections, plug the power supply module into an
AC power outlet or power strip, and then plug the power supply’s cable into the
PWR jack on the modem.
To be able to receive messages at any time, the MessageSaver is always on when it is
plugged in. Do not plug it into the same power strip as the computer, if you use the
power strip switch to turn your computer on and off.
Caution: Use only the power supply supplied with the modem. Use of any other
power supply will void the warranty and could damage the modem.
Power-On Test
When you apply power, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test, indicated by
several indicators flashing for a second or two, after which the 56 indicator lights. If
this does not happen, check that the power supply is solidly connected and the AC
outlet is live. If these measures do not work, see Chapter 6, “Solving Problems.”
Note: The MessageSaver is not ready to operate until about 10 seconds after power
is applied. Do not attempt to use it until then.
