Connecting the modem to a telephone line
Before you can communicate using the modem, you need to
connect it to a telephone line. Your computer's built-in
modem port provides an RJ11 jack, allowing you to connect
the modem to a standard voice-grade telephone line.
1
Plug one end of a telephone cable (purchased separately) into
the modem port on the right side of the computer.

The modem is designed for use with a standard analog
telephone line. Do not connect the modem to a digital
telephone line. A digital line will damage the modem.
