Modem Jack

In areas where an internal modem is installed as

 

standard equipment, there is a modem jack that

 

lets you use a modular cable to connect the

 

modem directly to a telephone line. The modem

 

is not supported in some marketing regions.

 

 

In case of a lightning storm, unplug the modem cable from the telephone jack.

Do not connect the modem to a digital telephone line. A digital line will damage the modem.
