1 Using the modem (select models only)

The modem must be connected to an analog telephone line using a 6-pin, RJ-11 modem cable (included

with select models only). In some countries, a country-specific modem cable adapter is also required.

Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble analog telephone jacks, but they are not compatible with

the modem.

WARNING! Connecting the internal analog modem to a digital line can permanently damage the

modem. Immediately disconnect the modem cable if you accidentally connect it to a digital line.

If the modem cable contains noise suppression circuitry (1), which prevents interference from TV and

radio reception, orient the circuitry end (2) of the cable toward the computer.

Connecting a modem cable

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a modem

cable (included with select models only) or telephone cable into the RJ-45 (network) jack.

To connect a modem cable:

1. Plug the modem cable into the modem jack (1) on the computer.

2. Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 telephone wall jack (2).

2 Chapter 1 Using the modem (select models only)

Connecting a country-specific modem cable adapter

Telephone jacks vary by country. To use the modem and the modem cable (included with select models

these steps:

1. Plug the modem cable into the modem jack (1) on the computer.

2. Plug the modem cable into the country-specific modem cable adapter (2).

3. Plug the country-specific modem cable adapter (3) into the telephone wall jack.
