Connecting the Internal Modem

If you want to connect to the Internet right away, connect one end of the phone cord to the internal modem port (marked with the icon W) and the other end to an analog telephone line (the type of telephone line found in most residences).

Warning Do not connect a digital telephone line to the modem, because the wrong type of line could damage the modem. Contact your telephone service provider if you are unsure whether you have a digital telephone line.
