Getting Started
Once you have setup your LifeBook to dial out, Windows 98 SE will make a free telephone call which will test these settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be returned to the phone settings page where you may try to fix them at this time. If you are unable to fix the settings please contact Fujitsu PC Service and Support. See page 17. If you would simply like to move on, and register your LifeBook at a later time, simply click on skip and you will go directly to the condition of use page
