1. Locate the most convenient telephone wall outlet.
If a phone is already connected to it, unplug the telephone cable from the wall outlet.
2. Connect the telephone cable from the phone set to the Phone jack of the modem, as shown
in Figure 1-1.
3. Connect one end of a telephone cable to the wall outlet and the other end to the Telephone
Line jack of the Modem Blaster, as shown in Figure 1-1.
To ensure that the modem functions properly, note that:
❑ Your modem cannot be used on "party lines", nor can it be used on toll or coin-operated
lines.
Contact your local telephone company for help if you are not sure about the suitability of
your telephone line.
❑ This modem is intended for use on an analog telephone line, also known as a POTS (Plain
Old Telephone Service) line. You cannot connect the modem directly to a digital telephone
line, such as those commonly used in offices.
If you want to connect to a digital line, you need an analog converter compatible with the
telephone line you are using.
