Modem
Your computer comes with a 56K V.90 internal fax/modem and a phone
jack (RJ-11), which is located on the right rear side of your computer.
Use a telephone cable to connect the computer to the telephone wall
outlet.
Connecting the Modem
1. Plug one end of the phone line into the modem port located on
the rear side of the computer. (For EMI compliance, you need to clip
the included EMI CORE to the phone line.)
2. Plug the other end of the line into the analog phone wall outlet.
Depending on where your computer is used, you may need to change
settings in the modem. Correct setting will allow you to maintain a stable
connection in a country where its telecommunication system may be
different to others.
To change the modem setting, do the following:
1. Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click on
Modem Settings icon. You will see a similar dialog box.
2. Click on the pull-down menu and select the country where it is
applicable. Click on OK to exit.
