Setting up your netBook

What do I need to use Web/Email?

To access the Internet and send and receive email on your netBook you must have the following:

1.An appropriate Email account.

To access the Internet and use email, you will need an Internet ‘standard’ email account. See the ‘Before you start…’ section for more details.

2.A Modem.

You will need a modem to connect your netBook to the telephone network. You can use the following types of modem with your netBook:

∙Standard external PC modems.

∙‘PC Card’ modems.

∙Mobile phones with built-in modems.

Note: if your mobile phone doesn’t have a built-in modem, you will need to use it with a PC Card modem.

3.A telephone connection.

If you are using a standard external modem or PC Card modem, you will need to connect your modem to a telephone socket. If you are using a mobile phone, your network operator will need to enable your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card so that you can make fax and data calls on your phone. If your phone has been enabled for fax and data calls, you should have two extra phone numbers. Contact your network operator if you are unsure whether your phone’s SIM card is ‘data-enabled’.

Note: If your mobile phone supports IrDA you can use it without the need for additional cables.
