Connect the Microphone

For voice mail or speakerphone applications, plug an unamplified microphone into the MIC jack on the side of the modem. The microphone should have a stereo 1/8-inch mini plug. Do not use a monophonic microphone.

Connect the Speaker

For speakerphone or voice mail applications, 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 your sound card does not have a LINE IN jack, use its MIC jack. The stereo male-to-male patch cord can be purchased at a local PC retail store.

If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an amplified speaker directly into the SPKR jack.
