Line Connection

Plug one end of the provided telephone cable into the modem’s LINE jack, and the other end into a telephone wall jack. This is the only required connection.

Note: The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE jack. Do not plug the phone into the LINE jack or the line cable into the PHONE jack.

Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada impose certain restrictions on equipment connected to public telephone systems.

Phone Connection (Optional)

If you wish to connect a telephone to the same line as the modem, plug it into the modem’s PHONE jack.

Note: The PHONE jack is not interchangeable with the LINE jack. Do not plug the phone into the LINE jack or the line cable into the PHONE jack.

Microphone/Headphone Connection (Optional)

For voice mail or speakerphone applications, plug an unamplified microphone into the MIC jack. The microphone and headphone should have a stereo 3.58mm (9/64-inch) mini plug. Do not use a monophonic microphone.

Sound Card and Speaker Connections (If you have the Voice Option)

For voice mail or speakerphone applications, use a 3.58mm (9/64-inch) plug male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect the LINE OUT jack on 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.

This will allow you to hear modem activity whether it is originating or answering a call, or playing a recorded message. If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an amplified speaker into the LINE OUT jack.
