Connecting the Modem Cable
If your computer comes with an internal modem or if you’ve
installed an optional modem, follow these steps to connect the
modem cable:
1. Connect one end of the modem cable into the RJ-11 jack on
the left side of the computer.
2. Plug the opposite end of the cable into a standard telephone
wall jack.
Connecting a Modem Cable
CAUTION:
Wall jacks for digital PBX systems may appear like
standard telephone jacks but are not compatible with analog devices
such as modems. Be sure the modem cable is connected to a
regular analog phone line for it to operate. Plugging the modem into
a digital line will result in no dial tone and may cause permanent
damage to the modem from excessive current
.
Changing the Country Selection
Computer models with a 56Kbps internal modem are configured
to meet operating approval in the country where you purchased
your computer. If the modem is used in other countries during
travel, the country selection setting for the modem needs to
change to meet the telecommunications regulations for that
country.
