How to use Telephones and Voicemail: Enabling Data Protection

Since call-waiting tones can interrupt data transmission, you may sometimes wish to prevent call-waiting from announcing incoming calls. This is especially useful for single-line set users who share their line with a fax or modem.
To enable data protection
  1. Lift the handset.
  1. At the dial tone, dial 1 1 3.
Data protection can also be enabled by adding 1 1 3 ,  (be sure to include the comma) to the beginning of the number that your modem is programmed to dial. The data protection code can be added to the programmed dialing of faxes.

Data protection will be turned off and normal call waiting function will be restored when you hang up.
