Selecting a Country-Specific Modem Configuration

The internal modem is configured to meet operating approval in the country where you purchased your computer. If the modem is used in other countries during travel, the country selection setting for the modem needs to change to meet the telecommunications regulations for that country.

Modem country configuration is performed through the country drop-down box on the Dialing Properties screen of the modem Control Panel. To confirm that the modem has been approved for use by the telecommunications agency in the desired country, check the approvals label on the bottom of the computer. Or, for the most up-to-date information, refer to the Compaq Internet Web site at www.compaq.com.

NOTE: The internal modem supports a subset of the countries that are listed under the Dialing Properties. If you select an unsupported country, a warning will appear and USA will be selected if you don’t choose a different supported country.

In Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 click Start⊕Settings⊕Control Panel⊕Modems⊕Dialing Properties⊕and then view your country in the “I am in:” drop- down box. In Windows 2000 Professional click Start⊕Settings⊕Control Panel⊕Phone and Modem Options⊕click a location⊕Edit button⊕and then view your country or region in the Country/region drop-down box.
