Additional Information Settings Music Managing Game Files Safety Precautions Part Names/Connecting Peripheral Equipment Before Using the Dreamcast Playing a Game Telephone w all jack Make sure your telephone wall jack is a modular jack. If it is not a modular jack, you will need a modular conversion plug so that a modular plug can be connected to it. Contact your local telephone service provider for further information. Modular plugs may vary from one area to another. Make sure to use the correct modular conversion plug for the modular jacks in your area. Phone cable Do not touch the plugs on the ends of the phone cable.
If the phone cable is not long enough, use a longer phone extension cable (sold separately). Do not use an overly long phone cable. The longer the phone cable you use, the weaker the phone signal becomes. If the modem does not seem to work correctly or you get frequently disconnected, please try a shorter phone cable before contacting Sega’s Technical Support at www.sega.com or 1-800-USA-SEGA. Do not bend, knot or kink the phone cable. Take care when positioning the phone cable to ensure that it will not trip someone or become snagged in some way. Cable positioning Position the phone cable as far away as possible from electrical devices such as computer displays, televisions and speakers.
Communication errors may occur if it is too close to such devices. Notes If you have Call Waiting Service Please note that if you have Call Waiting service and someone calls you while the Dreamcast is online, your connection may be disconnected or the game may function abnormally and disconnect. If you want to ensure that the Dreamcast is not interrupted by incoming calls when you go online, we recommend disabling your Call Waiting service or adding a separate phone line dedicated to online use. Contact your local telephone service provider for further information.
Connection Types that Cannot be Used for Online Gaming You cannot go online with any connection other than a telephone line for home use.

An extension phone is a phone which is connected to a PBX and which requires you to dial 0 or some other number in order to place an outside call.) You need an analog connection. The Dreamcast will not function with a digital connection. Modems and Telephones You cannot go online with the Dreamcast while you are using your telephone.
