*2 For details on how to check the hardware information communication error, refer to the following section.
Page 441 Checking error status
*3 If an error occurs while performing data communication using the modem function, first check the following items and determine whether
or not the error is caused by the modem/TA connection.
If an error relating to the modem function occurs, take corrective actions according to the following items shown below:
Check of the ON/OFF status of current input/output signals on C24
Check of the error code storage status for the modem function
Check of the ON/OFF status of the DR terminal on the modem/TA (Refer to the instruction manual for modem/TA.)
