MessageSaver User Guide

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.
