Before configuring the settings
NOTE
• After canceling/changing your provider contract please be sure to delete or reconfigure the
connection configuration of the product. Failure to observe this could result in unexpected
charges from your telephone carrier or provider.
• If your data (packet) communications service contract is based on a pay-as-you-go plan
or your flat-rate contract does not cover data communications, prolonged communications
or transfer of large amounts of data may result in hefty fees. Pay careful attention to the
communication charges before using your communications service. The product has a
function that issues an alert or restricts communication by monitoring communication time
and communications traffic for each connection or on a cumulative basis. Please use it as
necessary.
• A constant Internet connection increases the risk of illegal access or attack via the Internet.
Be sure to use the product with extra attention to your network security. Refer to “Enhancing
security” (page 73) for more details.
• Be sure to use a communication terminal as instructed in its instruction manual and under
environmental conditions specified therein.
• This function does not support 64K data communications.
• The descriptions in this manual use Internet Explorer 11 screens as examples. For other
environments, you have slightly different screen displays, though operations stay the same.
You need the setup document supplied by the provider.

all of the information).
