Adding new locations when traveling
By default, the only location setting available to the modem is a location setting for the country or
region in which you purchased the computer. As you travel to different countries or regions, set the
internal modem to a location setting that meets the operating standards of the country or region in
which you are using the modem.
As you add new location settings, they are saved by the computer so that you can switch among
settings at any time. You can add multiple location settings for any country or region.

Solving travel connection problems
If you experience modem connection problems when using the computer outside of the country or
region in which you purchased it, try the following suggestions:
●
Check the telephone line type.
The modem requires an analog, not a digital, telephone line. A line described as a PBX line is
usually a digital line. A telephone line described as a data line, fax machine line, modem line, or
standard telephone line is usually an analog line.
●
Check for pulse or tone dialing.
