Connect the telephone line to the modem connector.

For information on using the modem, see the online modem documentation supplied with your computer.

A I R VE N T S — The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer from overheating.

NOTE: The fan may run constantly, and fan speed may vary depending on usage. Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fan or the computer.

CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents. Do not store your computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a closed briefcase, while it is running. Restricting the airflow can damage the computer or cause a fire.

S E C U R I T Y C A B L E S L O T — Lets you attach a commercially available antitheft device to the computer. For more information, see the instructions included with the device.

NOTICE: Before you buy an antitheft device, ensure that it will work with the security cable slot.
