CAUTION CAUTION Hint Introducing the OmniBook Setting Up the Computer If you have a modem built into your OmniBook, it may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX), cannot be connected to a coinoperated telephone, and does not work with party lines. Some of these connections may result in excess electrical voltage and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem. Check your telephone line type prior to connecting your phone line.
