Introduction

• USB connection enables data transmission between an Internet and a USB network adaptor compatible camcorder via a modem.
• The USB-PSTN modem adaptor is a bus powered device and therefore requires no power supply.

Trademark

The system names and product names recorded in this instruction manual are in general registered trademarks or trademarks of their respective developing manufacturers. This instruction manual does not specify ^TM and ^ signs.

Precautions on Use

Where not to place this device

Regardless of whether the USB-PSTN modem adaptor is in use or in storage, do not place it in any of the following locations. Doing so may lead to breakdown.

• Locations of extremely high temperature
  The temperature gets extremely high inside a car with the windows closed in summer or in strong sunshine, and leaving the USB-PSTN modem adaptor inside may cause it to be deformed or break down.
• Locations with excessive humidity, dust, soot or steam
  Using the USB-PSTN modem adaptor in such an environment may lead to fire or electric shock.

- Locations where young children can touch it

There is a risk of injury, electric shock and breakdown.

- Only use a designated connecting cable

Using a connecting cable not specified in this manual may lead to fire or breakdown.

- Avoid incorrect connection

- Do not allow any small pieces of metal inside the connector.

A short between pins may lead to fire or breakdown.

- Insert the connector completely straight. Inserting it at an angle can cause a short between pins, which may lead to fire or breakdown.

- Unplug the telephone cable before moving the USB-PSTN modem adaptor

Moving it with the telephone cable still connected may damage the cable or lead to fire, electric shock, or injury if the USB-PSTN modem adaptor drops or falls over. Also be careful not to drop the USB-PSTN modem adaptor.

• In direct sunlight or near a heater

There is a risk of deformation or breakdown.

- Locations of excessive vibration

- Locations with strong electromagnetism

- Locations with excessive sand

In locations such as the seashore and other sandy areas or where dust clouds occur, protect the USB-PSTN modem adaptor from sand and dust. There is a risk of breakdown.

Precautions on Handling

• Using the USB-PSTN modem adaptor reduces the amount of time you can use your camcorder, because they share the camcorder's battery.
• When not using the USB-PSTN modem adaptor, disconnect it from your camcorder to prevent your camcorder's battery from going flat.
• Do not lift your camcorder by the USB-PSTN modem adaptor or its cable.
• Do not pull out the connector by pulling the cable.
• Do not bend or apply excessive force to the cable.

Maintenance

Wipe the USB-PSTN modem adaptor with a soft dry cloth. If the USB-PSTN modem adaptor is very dirty, wipe it using a cloth with a little neutral solvent added, and then wipe it dry again.

Do not use thinners, benzine, alcohol, etc., as they will damage the surface of the USB-PSTN modem adaptor.

Before Use

- This USB-PSTN modem adaptor is exclusively for use with a USB network adaptor compatible camcorder. Before use, refer to your "Network Function/Application Operating Instructions".

Setting up the unit

You must make certain settings before you can connect the unit to your telephone line. Choose the proper settings for your telephone signaling type. You also have to set the AREA CODE switches according to your area.

(1) Be sure that this unit is not connected to the USB-PSTN modem adaptor compatible camcorders or a RJ-11 cable (telephone cable).
(2) Open the switch cover.
(3) Select the telephone signaling type with the TONE/P1 (PULSE10)/P2 (PULSE20) selector.
TONE: When your phone line has tone signaling.
PULSE10: When your phone line has pulse signaling.
PULSE20: Normally, this is not used. For details, see "To check the dial speed of a pulse dialing phone" on page 12.

Tips

•How can I tell if my phone has tone signaling?
You can hear the touch pad sound from your phone when you press the number button.
• How can I tell if my phone has pulse signaling?
You can hear clicking sounds from your phone when you press the number button.

(4) Set up the AREA CODE switches according to your area. For details, see "The setup of the AREA CODE switches" on page 13.

Setting up the unit (continued)

(5) Close the cover.

The setting is completed.

Notes

• If the TONE/P1 (PULSE10)/P2 (PULSE20) selector is not set to the appropriate position, you cannot communicate with the camcorder.
• If you cannot check the dial speed of your pulse dialing phone, set the TONE/P1 (PULSE10)/P2 (PULSE20) selector to P1 (PULSE10).
• In some countries and areas, TONE/P1 (PULSE10)/P2 (PULSE20) setting is not required.
  In such a country or area, the USB-PSTN modem adaptor communicates by the telecom protocol in that country or area, regardless of the TONE/P1 (PULSE10)/P2 (PULSE20) setting.

To check the dial speed of a pulse dialing phone

You can change the dialing speeds of some pulse dial phones. To check the dial speed, switch the dial speed selector on the phone and check the clicking sound. The slower one is the normal setting. When you select the fast dial speed, set the TONE/P1 (PULSE10)/P2 (PULSE20) selector to P2 (PULSE20).

The setup of the AREA CODE switches

The default AREA CODE setting is "Japan".

Set the AREA CODE switches to the appropriate positions using a sharp-pointed object following the information given in the table below. You cannot use the unit in areas other than the areas indicated on the table.

Notes
