Connecting the Modem
Selecting Connectors
A modem must be connected to an analog telephone line.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the equipment, do not plug a telephone cable into
the RJ-45 network jack.
CAUTION: Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble RJ-11
telephone jacks, but are not compatible with the modem.
Jacks for analog telephone lines and procedures for connecting
the modem vary by country:
If you are connecting a modem in a country where RJ-11
telephone jacks are standard, follow the instructions in
“Connecting a Modem to an RJ-11” next in this section.
If you are connecting a modem in a country where RJ-11
telephone jacks are not standard, a modem adapter specific
to the country in which you purchased the notebook is
included with the notebook. Follow the instructions in
“Connecting a Modem with an Adapter” later in this section.
If you plan to use a modem outside the country in which you
purchased the notebook, you can purchase adapters specific
for the countries on your itinerary from most computer or
electronics retailers. For information about using country-
specific software configurations, see “Using the Modem
While Traveling Internationally” later in this section.
