…disable a chargecard?
If your current location is set up to use a chargecard but for some reason you
do not want to use one the next time you connect, you can tell the MC 218 not
to use it without removing any of the chargecard settings.
To disable a chargecard:
1. Open the Dialling section of the Control panel on the Desktop screen.
2. On the Location page, select the location you want to use and tap Edit.
3. Tap on the Chargecards page and remove the tick from the Use a
chargecard box.
…tell the modem not to wait for a dial tone?
If the dial tone on the phone line you use is non-standard, or, e.g., you are in a
country where the dial tone is different from the one in the country where the
modem was bought, you may experience problems dialling out. You may be
able to avoid these by instructing the modem not to wait for a dial tone before
trying to connect.
To instruct the modem not to wait for a dial tone:
1. Open the Dialling section of the Control panel on the Desktop screen.
2. On the Location page, select the location you are dialling from and tap
Edit.
3. On the Dial settings page, remove the tick from the Wait for dial tone box.
Select OK and close the Dialling section.
4. Open the Modems section of the Control panel.
5. With the modem you use selected, tap the Edit button.
6. Append ‘X0’ to the characters in the Data init. string line. Select OK.
