Critical Point
To disconnect the modular cable from the connector, pull the jack
while holding down the clip. Failure to do so might damage the

Your computer consumes more electric energy when using the
built-in modem. When using the modem, therefore, it is advisable
to use the AC adaptor to supply power to your computer.
CAUTION
The internal modem has a maximum speed of 56000bps by ITU-T V.90 standard. Its
maximum speed of 53000bps is the highest allowed by FCC, and its actual connection
rate depends on the line conditions. The maximum speed is 33600bps at upload.
CAUTION
The internal modem is not intended for use with Digital PBX systems. Do not connect
the internal modem to a digital PBX as it may cause serious damage to the internal
modem or your entire notebook.
Consult your PBX manufacturer's documentation for details. Some hotels have digital
PBX systems.
Be sure to find out BEFORE you connect your modem.
