2. DISCONNECT POWER TO THE RS-232 KEY. Remove the cover by removing

the 2 screws from the bottom of the enclosure.

3. On the circuit board, locate the blue jumpers J7 (MODEM) and J8 (ex-MODEM).

If these jumpers are set in the DIRECT position, you must move the jumpers so

they are set in the MODEM position. Replace the cover and secure the enclo-

The modem should use a phone line that is dedicated exclusively to the AMR

system. Do not use a phone line that is shared by another modem or fax

machine.

6.9.3 Baud Rate Selection

The communication Baud rate on the Class 3200 meter is set through positions 3 and
