Connecting a Modem
(Select models only)
The modem connects the computer to the telephone line. Use it to connect to an ISP that
provides a telephone dial-up connection to the Internet. If you use a network connection, you
may not need a modem connection.
Before you can use telephone dial-up to connect to the Internet and send or receive e-mail
and faxes, you must connect your telephone service line to the modem connector (A).
1 Plug a modem/telephone cable into the computer modem connector (A). Note that the
modem connector on the computer may be green.
2 Plug the other end of the modem/telephone cable into the telephone service line wall
jack connector.
