In the event that you use a DSL modem: Connect the
device to the slot intended for analogue telephones/fax
machines! For additional information, please consult the
operating manual of your DSL system. Ask your telephone
or internet service provider if necessary.

an ISDN device (Group 4), and therefore it cannot be
operated directly on an ISDN connection. In order to do
this, you need either an analogue adapter or a connection
for analogue terminals. Details for ISDN connections can
be found in the instructions provided with the terminal
adapter or the dial-up router.

nition for accepting incoming calls. Consult your retailer.
