To connect the modem

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord to connect the modem to the telephone wall jack.

1.Check that the telephone line is an analog line, sometimes called a data line. (You must not use a digital line.)

2.Connect a telephone cord with an RJ-11 plug into a telephone jack. If the plug on the phone cord doesn’t fit the jack, you may need to use an adapter.

3.Plug the other end of the phone cord into the built-in modem.

4.Check your modem’s country or region settings: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and Modem Options.

Your built-in modem may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX), cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and does not work with party lines. Some of these connections may result in excess electrical voltage and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem. Check your telephone line type prior to connecting your phone line.
