Step 4: Connect the Communication Device

Modem

Your notebook has an internal modem, an RJ-11 (modem) jack, preinstalled modem drivers, and a modem cable. The modem cable must be connected to an analog telephone line.

ÄCAUTION: Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble analog (modem) jacks but are not compatible with the modem.

Jacks for analog telephone lines vary by country.

■ If you are connecting the modem to a telephone line in a country where RJ-11 (modem) jacks are standard, follow the instructions in “Connecting the Modem Cable,” next in this chapter.

■ If you are connecting the modem to a telephone line in a country where RJ-11 (modem) jacks are not standard, follow the instructions in “Connecting the Modem with an Adapter,” later in this chapter.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the modem from the telephone network before accessing an internal compartment of the notebook. Internal compartments include the memory module compartment, the battery bay, and the hard drive bay.
