However, it can be set to operate with Bell protocol analog modems. To do so, follow the procedure in the Troubleshooting section. The popular data modems listed below have successfully passed QUALCOMM's interoperability testing. • USR Sportster 28.8k, 33.6k and 56k models • ZyXEL U-1496E (14.4k) • Microcom DeskPorte 28.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM No dial tone SOLUTION • Verify that the telephone is plugged into the NIU. • Verify that the antenna is connected and not cross-threaded. • Verify that the power cables are properly connected. • Verify that the NIU is receiving a sufficiently strong signal from the service provider. Dial #91951#, listen for a two-beep confirmation tone, and adjust the position of the antenna or NIU to maximize the beep rate. If this is unsuccessful, see the solution for “no tone generated.
Key presses are not received by some automated systems • Adjust key beep length (see page 18). Data call or fax transmission is not successful • Verify services are available from your provider. • Recheck your hardware connections and software configuration. – Is the correct modem port selected? – Is the baud rate set to 19200 or lower? • Was the phone number you dialed a data number? • Did you add #3282 (#DATA) to the data phone number? – Try to call a known data number.
Data call or fax transmission is not successful (continued) • Verify that your modem operates with V. series protocol. If it operates with Bell protocol instead of V. series protocol, see “To change to Bell modem protocol” below. Transferred data is corrupted • Make sure the application software and modem are set to hardware flow control (RTS/CTS). To change to Bell modem protocol • Pick up the handset of the attached phone, dial #62355 (#MBELL), and return the handset to the cradle.
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE Important Read this information before using your Network Interface Unit (NIU). Local laws and regulations Wireless telephones can interfere with their environment, so safety rules and regulations have been created. You should inquire about local regulations, particularly those concerning vehicles and aircraft, when you acquire a wireless telephone.
For best performance To properly operate the phone and maintain safe and satisfactory service, follow these rules. • Do not hold the NIU antenna at any time, as contact with the antenna affects call quality. • Do not use the NIU if the antenna is damaged. • Do not expose the NIU and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If the phone becomes wet, immediately unplug the AC adaptor. If the phone is inoperable after drying, return it to the dealer for service.
Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. • Always keep the NIU more than 15 cm (6 inches) from your pacemaker when it is turned on.
Children Your NIU is not a toy. Children should not play with it. They could hurt themselves or others or damage the NIU. Blasting areas Unplug the AC adaptor and set the on/off switch to the off (O) position when you are in a blasting area or in any area posted “turn off two-way radio.” Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
