To select a region, follow the steps below.

1.In Windows Vista™, click start, point to All Programs, point to TOSHIBA, point to Networking and click Modem Region Select.

Do not use the Country/Region Select function in the Modem setup utility in the Control Panel if the function is available. If you change the Country/Region in the Control Panel, the change may not take effect.

2. The Region Selection icon will appear in the Windows Task Bar.

■When you click a region it becomes the modem’s region selection, and the New Location for telephony will be set automatically.
