By adding the Direct-Connect Modem DCM-6 to your computer system, you can
access national and international information networks and data bases, or
you can exchange information with another computer user over the phone
lines.

MODEM is an acronym that stands for Modulator/Demodulator.  A modem
transforms a typical two-level (binary) computer signal into a form
suitable for transmission over the telephone network.  With the frequency
sequence of tone signals, allowing you to originate and answer calls and
communicate.

You can use you Modem to send or receive programs and to contact
information services. Data transmission of the DCM-6 is at 300 bits per
second (bps).

Your Modem can be used with any Tandy computer or data terminal that has
RS-232C interface capabilities.  With optional acoustic cups (26-3805), you
can use your Modem virtually anywhere that AC power is available--no need
to connect semi-permanently to the phone line.

The DCM-6 is a self-contained, Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) telephone
interface.  This FSK method of frequency modulation for transmitting
digital signals is the same as that method used in low-speed modems.  When
the DCM-6 is connected to your telephone wall jack, your phone can only be
used for conversation when the CONNECT switch is off.  Be sure this switch
is set to OFF when you are not using the Modem.
