niu.book Page 27 Friday, January 8, 1999 11:04 AM 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# and adjust the position of the antenna or NIU to maximize the beep rate.
niu.book Page 28 Friday, January 8, 1999 11:04 AM PROBLEM Data call or fax transmission is not successful (continued) SOLUTION • Try dialing the number from a touchtone telephone without the #3282 prefix. Did you hear a busy signal, voice, or modem tones? – If you heard a busy signal, call the number at a later time. – If you heard a voice, verify that the number you dialed is correct, or request that a data device (for example, a computer and modem) be turned on at the location you called.
niu.book Page 29 Friday, January 8, 1999 11:04 AM 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.
niu.book Page 30 Friday, January 8, 1999 11:04 AM 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.
niu.book Page 31 Friday, January 8, 1999 11:04 AM Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (15 cm) 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 six inches (15 cm) from your pacemaker when it is turned on.
niu.book Page 32 Friday, January 8, 1999 11:04 AM 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.
