Before using the PC Card, you need to connect your telephone line and telephone to the PC Card.

To ensure that your PC Card works properly, know that:

•Your PC Card 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 PC Card is intended for use on an analog telephone line, also called a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. This PC Card 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.
