CAUTION

To connect the modem

1. Make sure the telephone line is an analog line, sometimes called a data line. It should
have 2, 3, or 4 wires. (You must not use a PBX or digital line.)
2. Connect a telephone cord with an RJ-11 plug to the built-in modem (or connect to a
PC card or external modem). Use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications
line cord to connect the modem to the telephone wall jack.
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: 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.
