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.

• You cannot go online using a modular jack

connected to an extension phone.
(Companies and government offices often use
private branch exchanges (PBXs). 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.

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.

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.

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.
