Getting Started with Your HP Notebook

Setting Up Your Notebook

Step 3: Connect a phone line

Your notebook includes a built-in modem. If you prefer, you can instead use a PC card modem or an external modem to connect a phone line.

1.Make sure the telephone line is an analog line. You must not use a digital line. (Many office and some home lines are digital.)

2.Plug the telephone cord into the notebook’s modem jack, or into a PC card or external modem. Make sure the cord clicks into place.

3.Plug the other end of the cord into a telephone jack. If the plug on the phone cord doesn’t fit your telephone jack, you may need to use an adapter.

For details about using the modem, see the section “Using the Modem” in the online Reference Guide.
