Remarks on Using the Modem

Remember the Following Points When Using the Modem:

∙The modem might not work with all modular telephone sets. Specifically, you must not use the modem with multi-line telephone sets, sets with indicator lights or line selection buttons.

∙Some voice mail message systems use a specific tone to indicate that a voice message has been received. The modem will not be able to dial as long as this signal is on the line. Listen to the waiting messages in order to get the normal dial tone back so that the modem can dial.

∙The modem has an automatic speed reduction function. This means that it automatically reduces its data transmission speed in order to match the speed of the remote modem. This also means that it may take the modem up to 30 seconds to establish communications with a slower modem.

∙A comma (,) in the dialed number causes a pause during dialing. You can insert multiple commas in the command line in order to obtain a longer pause.

∙The modem must detect a carrier within a specific time interval, otherwise it will display the message ‘NO CARRIER’ or ‘NO ANSWER’. You can increase this interval (in seconds) by going into the terminal mode of the communications application and typing in:

$7￿6￿￿ ￿>YDOXH@￿

NOTE: This value must be between 1 and 255 seconds (refer to the AT command table for further details). The range of acceptable values is country-dependent.
