Usage
WARNING
Risk of injury or equipment damage
Connecting the Telephony Modem to the home's existing telephone
wiring should only be performed by a professional installer. Physical con-
nections to the previous telephone provider must be removed and the
wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltage. Cancellation of
telephone service is not adequate. Failure to do so may result in loss of
service and/or permanent damage to the Telephony Modem.
