Using the Modem While Traveling
Internationally
An internal modem is configured to function in, and meet the
operating standards of, the country in which you purchased
the notebook. To use an internal modem in other countries, you
must add country-specific modem configurations.
Displaying the Current Country Configuration
To display the current country configuration, select Start >
Control Panel > Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options
category > Regional and Language Options icon > Regional
Options tab. The current country configuration of the modem is
displayed in the Location panel.
Adding a Country Configuration
CAUTION: To prevent the loss of your current country configuration,
do not delete or replace your current country configuration. Additional
country configurations can be added without deleting the current
configuration.
CAUTION: To prevent modem malfunction and violation of
telecommunications regulations and laws, use the modem only with the
country configuration for the country in which you are using the
modem.
To add a country configuration:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet
Connections category.
2. From the See Also menu in the left column of the window,
select Phone and Modem Options > Dialing Rules tab.
