Initially, normal operation will be possible. However, changes to or modernization
of the network (taking place in the normal course of events) may result in the
apparatus being connected to a network service with which it was not designed to
be compatible. Failure of the apparatus to work under these circumstances may not
be the responsibility of the network operator.
If these difficulties occur, contact your product supplier or your Compaq-
authorized reseller in the United Kingdom.
This device is intended for auto-answering of incoming calls. Under normal
conditions, callers will be accustomed to calls being answered within 10 seconds,
and a majority of callers will abandon calls that are not answered within 45
seconds.
Several options are available for auto-answering operation. The default setting is
for two incoming rings. This is the recommended setting for normal operation by
most computer users.
