Connections

NOTE: The built-in modem and network cannot be installed later as an upgrade. After
purchase, modem and/or network can be installed as a PC card (PCMCIA).

Modem Connection

The telephone wire used to connect the Notebook PC's internal mo-
dem 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.
NOTE: 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 telephone jack for use with the built-in modem:
CAUTION: For electrical safety concerns, only use telephone cables rated 26AWG or
higher. (see Glossary for more information)
