A: This indicates the modem cannot connect to the broadband network. The first thing to check is that the telephone line is working. Pick up a handset on the same line and listen for a dialing tone.

Check that microfilters are correctly installed. Failing this, there may be a fault with your phone line or at your local telephone exchange.
