To connect a phone line
Selected Pavilion models have a built-in modem. If your computer does not have one,
you can instead use a PC Card modem or an external modem to connect to a phone line.
1.
Plug one end of the phone cable into the (modem) phone jack on the computer. Be
sure the cable clicks into place.
2.
Plug the other end of the phone cable into a telephone jack. (If the phone cable does
not fit your telephone jack, you may need to use an adapter.)
CAUTION
If you have a modem built into your computer, it may not work with multiple
phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX), cannot be connected to a coin-
operated telephone, and does not work with party lines. Some of these connections
may result in excess electrical voltage and could cause a malfunction in the internal
modem.
Check your telephone line type prior to connecting your phone line.
NOTE
The Pavilion Notebook modem supports the v.23 standard required for connecting to the
MiniTel system in France. To connect to the MiniTel system, use MiniTel emulation
software available in France.
