Using an Internal Modem

Adding New Locations When Travelling

The internal modem is configured to meet only the operating
standards in the country where you purchased the notebook.
When travelling internationally, you can add new location
configurations that comply with standards in other countries.
Ä
CAUTION: Do not delete your current modem country settings. To
enable modem use in other countries while preserving your home
country configuration, add a new configuration for each location in
which you will use the modem.
The drop-down lists described below may include countries not
supported by the modem. Unless you select a supported country,
the country selection will default to USA or UK.
Ä
CAUTION: Selecting a country other than the one in which it is
located may cause your modem to be configured in a way that
violates the telecommunications regulations/laws of that country.
In addition, your modem may not function properly if the correct
country selection is not made.
To add a new country location, follow these steps:
Windows 98:
1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Modems icon > General tab > Select your
modem > Dialing Properties.
3. Assign the Location name (home, work, etc.).
4. Select the Country/Region from the drop-down list.
5. Click OK > OK.
