To connect the modem

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line
cord to connect the modem to the telephone wall jack.
1. Check that the telephone line is an analog line, sometimes called a data line. (You
must not use a digital line.)
2. Connect a telephone cord with an RJ-11 plug into a telephone jack. If the plug on the
phone cord doesn't fit the jack, you may need to use an adapter.
3. Plug the other end of the phone cord into the built-in modem.
4. Check your modem's country or region settings:
Windows XP: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and
Modem Options.
Windows 2000: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Phone and
Modem Options, and then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
Your built-in modem 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.
