Using an Internal Modem

Adding New Locations When Travelling

The internal modem is configured to meet only the operating standards in the country where you purchased the notebook. When travelling internationally, you can add new location configurations that comply with standards in other countries.

ÄCAUTION: Do not delete your current modem country settings. To enable modem use in other countries while preserving your home country configuration, add a new configuration for each location in which you will use the modem.

The drop-down lists described below may include countries not supported by the modem. Unless you select a supported country, the country selection will default to USA or UK.

ÄCAUTION: Selecting a country other than the one in which it is located may cause your modem to be configured in a way that violates the telecommunications regulations/laws of that country. In addition, your modem may not function properly if the correct country selection is not made.

To add a new country location, follow these steps:

Windows 98:

1.Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.

2.Double-click the Modems icon > General tab > Select your modem > Dialing Properties.

3.Assign the Location name (home, work, etc.).
