Connecting a country- or region-specific modem cable adapter
Telephone jacks vary by country or region. To use the modem and the modem cable outside the
country or region in which you purchased the computer, you must obtain a country- or region-specific
modem cable adapter.
To connect the modem to an analog telephone line that does not have an RJ-11 telephone jack,
follow these steps:
1. Plug the modem cable into the modem jack (1) on the computer.
2. Plug the modem cable into the modem cable adapter (2).
3. Plug the modem cable adapter (3) into the telephone wall jack.

Adding new locations when traveling
On a new computer, the only location setting available to the modem is a location setting for the
country or region in which you purchased the computer. As you travel to different countries or
regions, set the internal modem to a location setting that meets the operating standards of the country
or region in which you are using the modem.
As you add new location settings, they are saved by the computer so that you can switch among
settings at any time. You can add multiple location settings for any country or region.
