The availability of this feature is depending on the model you purchased.
This section describes how to connect and disconnect the internal modem
to and from a telephone jack.
Region selection
Telecommunication regulations vary from one region to another, so you will
need to make sure the internal modem’s settings are correct for the region
in which it will be used.
To select a region, follow the steps below.
1. In Windows Vista™, click start, point to All Programs, point to
TOSHIBA, point to Networking and click Modem Region Select.
2. The Region Selection icon will appear in the Windows Task Bar.

3. Click the icon with the primary mouse button to display a list of
regions that the modem supports. A sub menu for telephony location
information will also be displayed. A check will appear next to the cur-
rently selected region and telephony location.
4. Select a region from the region menu or a telephony location from the
submenu.
■ When you click a region it becomes the modem’s region selection,
and the New Location for telephony will be set automatically.
■ When you select a telephony location, the corresponding region is
automatically selected and it becomes the modem’s current region
setting.
The internal modem does not support voice functions. All data and fax
functions are supported.
■ In case of a lightning storm, unplug the modem cable from the
telephone jack
■ Do not connect the modem to a digital telephone line. A digital line will
damage the modem.
Do not use the Country/Region Select function in the Modem setup utility
in the Control Panel if the function is available. If you change the
Country/Region in the Control Panel, the change may not take effect.
