❖To clean a disc, wipe it from the center outwards (not in a
circle) with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, moisten the
cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or
rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before
inserting it in the drive.
Setting up for communications
To communicate across the telephone lines with another
computer, you need:
❖The computer’s modem
❖A telephone line
❖A communications program
To connect to the Internet, you need a Web browser, such as
Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Disable Call Waiting before you connect
through the modem. Call Waiting interrupts data transmission.
Connecting the modem to a phone line
The Satellite 1200 Series computers come with a built-in
modem. To use the modem, you must connect it to a standard
voice-grade RJ11 telephone line.
1Attach one end of a standard RJ11 telephone cable to the
modem port.
To locate the modem port, see “Back” on page 27.
2Plug the other end of the RJ11 telephone cable into the
modular jack of a standard voice-grade telephone line.
