of them are damaged or bent.

• Do you need to increase the speaker volume?
• Add L3 to Init. string.
• Are you cable and phone line connections secure?
• Is there another phone extension on the same line in
use?
• Are you using a standard analog phone line? Digital
phone line will not work with this modem.
• Is the telephone number correct?
• Did you enter a “1” before the area code when dialing
long distance?
• Are you required to enter a prefix, such as a “9” in your
settings.
• Is the other line busy or not answering? Make sure it is
available before calling.
• Did you select the correct fax class? Check your software,
select another fax class and try again.
• Do you have another communications program open? If
so, close it.
