Using an Internal Modem  
Your notebook has an internal modem, an RJ-11 telephone jack,  
preinstalled modem drivers, and a modem cable.  
Connecting the Modem Cable  
Using the RJ-11 Cable  
The modem cable may have noise suppression circuitry that  
prevents interference with TV and radio reception. The modem  
cable must be connected to an analog telephone line.  
ÄCAUTION: Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble analog  
telephone jacks, but are not compatible with the modem.

Using an Internal Modem  
Using a Country-Specific Modem Cable  
Adapter  
Software for the internal modem supports multiple countries, but  
telephone jacks vary by country. To use the modem and the RJ-11  
cable outside the country in which you purchased the notebook,  
you must obtain a country-specific modem adapter and define  
your location in Dialing Properties.  
To connect the modem to an analog telephone line that does not  
have an RJ-11 telephone jack:  
1. If the modem cable has noise suppression circuitry 1, orient  
the circuitry end of the cable toward the notebook.  
2. Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 telephone jack 2 on the  
notebook.  
3. Plug the modem cable 3 into the country-specific modem  
adapter.  
4. Plug the country-specific modem adapter 4 into the  
telephone jack.

Viewing the Current Country Selection  
To see the current country setting for your modem, follow  
these steps:  
Windows 2000 Professional:  
1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.  
2. Select the Regional Options icon.

Adding New Locations When Traveling  
The internal modem is configured to meet only the operating  
standards in the country where you purchased the notebook.  
When traveling internationally, you can add new location  
configurations that comply with standards in other countries.  
ÄCAUTION: 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.  
ÄCAUTION: 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.

Solving Travel Connection Problems  
If you experience connection problems while using the modem

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 probably an  
analog line.  
Check for pulse or tone dialing  
Dial a few digits on the telephone and listen for clicks  
(pulses) or tones. Then select:

Connecting to a Network  
Your notebook has an RJ-45 network jack, an internal NIC  
(network interface card), preinstalled network drivers, and may  
have a network cable.  
Because networking requires connection to domains, networking  
is not supported in Windows XP Home Edition.  
If your notebook is connected to a network, confer with your  
network administrator before changing network settings.
