AutoAlert E-mail Notification System Software Restrictions

If you use software that uses a phone line:

The computer may not be able to disconnect the phone line due to

￿communication and server conditions.

Be sure to monitor the status of the software when running the AutoAlert E- mail Notification System, and manually disconnect the phone line if you notice a malfunction. Furthermore, when using the timer to start the software, set the computer to shut down or enter system standby mode after a certain length of time. This allows the computer to disconnect the phone line if the computer fails to disconnect the line normally.

If you are using the timer to download e-mail automatically:

Set up your e-mail software to redial automatically if it does not connect the

￿first time.

Set the e-mail software to disconnect the phone line automatically when all mail has been downloaded.

If you are using Microsoft® Outlook® Express:
