CAUTION
2. Connect the telephone cord to the built-in modem.
3. Plug the other end of the phone cord into a telephone jack. If the plug on the phone
cord doesn't fit the jack, you may need to use an adapter.
4. Check your modem's country or region settings:
• Windows 98: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Modems, then
click Dialing Properties.
• Windows 2000: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Phone and
Modem Options, then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
• Windows XP: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and
Modem Options.
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.
Special restrictions in certain countries
• The pulse dialing feature may be disabled in certain countries, possibly because Loop
Disconnect is not certified there. If pulse dialing is disabled, you should use tone
dialing connections only.
• Many countries impose a blackout period after a modem repeatedly fails to connect to
a service provider. The number of failed attempts and the period you must wait before
trying again differ from country to country: check with your telephone company.
