Never operate your computer on AC power during a thunderstorm. If
you see lightning or hear thunder, immediately turn off the computer.
An electric surge caused by the storm, may result in a system failure,
loss of data or hardware damage.

Region selection

Telecommunication regulations vary from one region to another, so you will
need to make sure the internal modem's settings are correct for the region
in which it will be used.
The built-in modem can be used only in specified countries and regions.
Using the modem in an area not specified for use may cause a system
failure. Check the specified areas carefully before using it.
To select a region, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Click start followed by All Programs followed by TOSHIBA followed by
Networking and then click Modem Region Select.
If it is available, do not use the Country/Region Select function included as
part of the modem setup utility within the Control Panel - if you change the
country/region setting this way you may find that the change does not take
effect.
2. The Region Selection icon will appear in the Windows Task Bar.
3. Click the icon with the primary (left) mouse button to display a list of
regions that the modem supports, together with a sub-menu which
details telephony location information - a check mark will appear next to
the currently selected region and telephony location.
4. Select either a region from the region menu or a telephony location from
the sub-menu.
