Connections

The built-in modem and network cannot be installed later as an upgrade. After pur-
chase, modem and/or network can be installed as an expansion card.

Modem Connection (on selected models)

The telephone wire used to connect the Notebook PC's internal modem should have
either two or four wires (only two wires (telephone line #1) is used by the modem) and
should have an RJ-11 connector on both ends. Connect one end to the modem port and
the other end to an analog telephone wall socket (the ones found in residential buildings).
Once the driver is setup, the modem is ready to use.
When you are connected to an online service, do not place the Notebook PC in suspend
(or sleep mode) or else you will disconnect the modem connection.
Example of the Notebook PC connected to a tele-
phone jack for use with the built-in modem:

WARNING! Only use analog telephone outlets. The built-in modem does not support
the voltage used in digital phone systems. Do not connect the RJ-11 to digital phone
systems found in many commercial buildings or else damage will occur!
CAUTION: For electrical safety concerns, only use telephone cables rated 2AWG or
higher. (see Glossary for more information)
