2.If your modem cable has noise suppression circuitry 1, which prevents interference with TV and radio reception, place the circuitry end of the cable near the notebook.

3.Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 (modem) jack on the notebook 2.

4.Plug the other end of the modem cable into the country-specific modem adapter 3.

5.Plug the country-specific modem adapter into the telephone wall jack 4.

Telephone wall jacks, modem adapters, and modem cables vary in appearance by region and country.
