Using Your Modem
Prior to using your internal modem, you must ensure the following:
· The modem is properly configured for the country in which it will be
used via the Country Select Utility, and
· The appropriate adapter cable is supplied. A modem adapter cable is
supplied for the country in which the notebook computer was
purchased. If you wish to use the notebook’s modem in a country other
than the one in which the notebook was purchased, contact your
authorized Compaq reseller or go to www.compaq.com (search for:
Telecom Network Approvals) for more information on obtaining
country specific adapter plugs.
____________________ User Responsibility ______________________
The modem installed in this system requires the user to select the correct country
profile before initiating a modem dial-up connection. The preinstalled Country
Select utility is used to ensure that your modem will operate as intended and in
compliance with national telecommunication regulations/laws. When traveling
from country to country you must use the C
ountry Select utility
to reconfigure
the modem for a new location. Failure to do so may cause the modem to not
function properly and invalidate the approval.
