■Never connect the built-in modem to the digital connector on a public telephone or to a digital private branch exchange (PBX).

■Never connect the built-in modem to a key telephone system for residences or offices.

■Avoid using your computer modem with the telephone cable connected during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Modem functions cannot be used in models which are not equipped with a modem.

Region selection

Telecommunication regulations vary from one region to another, so you will need to make sure the internal modem’s settings are correct for the region in which it will be used.

The built-in modem can be used only in specified countries and regions. Using the modem in an area not specified for use may cause a system failure. Check the specified areas carefully before using it.

To select a region, follow the steps as detailed below:

1.Click Start → All Programs → TOSHIBA → Networking → Modem Region Select.

If it is available, do not use the Country/Region Select function included as part of the modem setup utility within the Control Panel - if you change the country/region setting this way you may find that the change does not take effect.

2. The Region Selection icon will appear in the Windows Taskbar.
