Using a modem

A modem must be connected to an analog telephone line using a 6-pin, RJ-11 modem cable. In some countries or regions, a specific modem cable adapter is also required. Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble analog telephone jacks, but they are not compatible with the modem.

Connecting a modem cable

To connect the modem cable, follow these steps:

1.Plug the modem cable into the modem jack (1) on the computer.

2.Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 telephone wall jack (2).

NOTE: If the modem cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
