connecting the modem

The modem is used for connecting to an ISP that provides telephone dial-up connection to the Internet.

NOTE: Your PC may not come with a modem.

Check with your ISP for specifics on your connection.

Before you can connect to the Internet and send or receive e-mail and faxes using telephone dial-up, you must connect your telephone service line to the modem, which is inside the PC. The quick setup poster shows you how to plug in a modem/telephone cable to the PC modem connector and to your telephone service line wall jack connector. To identify the modem connector, look at the back panel of the PC. The modem connector looks similar to one of the following illustrations.

NOTE: Your PC may have only one modem/telephone connection.
