Adding new locations when traveling
On a new computer, the only location setting available to the modem is a location setting for the country
or region in which you purchased the computer. As you travel to different countries or regions, set the
internal modem to a location setting that meets the operating standards of the country or region in which
you are using the modem.
As you add new location settings, they are saved by the computer so that you can switch among settings
at any time. You can add multiple location settings for any country or region.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of losing your home country or region settings, do not delete your current
modem country or region settings. To enable modem use in other countries or regions while preserving
your home country or region configuration, add a new configuration for each location in which you will
use the modem.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of configuring the modem in a way that violates the telecommunications
regulations and laws of the country or region you are visiting, select the country or region in which the
computer is located. The modem may not function properly if the correct country or region selection is
not made.
Windows 7
1. Select Start > Device and Printers.
2. Right-click the device that represents your computer, and click Modem settings.
NOTE: You must set up an initial (current) location area code before you can view the Dialing
Rules tab. If you do not have a location already set up, you are prompted to enter the location when
you click Modem settings.
