Chapter 05: Using Your Sahara Slate PC with Windows Vista



Using a Modem

Another common way to connect to the Internet is by using your
Sahara Slate PC’s internal K modem. Take a standard
telephone cable with RJ connectors on both ends. Plug one
end into your Sahara Slate PC’s modem jack and the other end
into a standard RJ telephone wall jack. See the section
entitled Touring Your Sahara Slate PC to locate the modem jack.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the phone line you are going to use with
your modem is a standard analog phone line – like the ones
typically used in homes. The modem will not work with a digital
phone line, and may even be damaged if a connection is attempted.

Procedures to connect to the Internet with a modem vary with
different Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Check with your ISP to
determine what information and software are needed to access
their network.

Bluetooth® Wireless Connectivity

Bluetooth® is a short-range wireless technology you can use to
transfer data between your Sahara Slate PC and other wireless
devices that use Bluetooth, such as wireless keyboards and mice,
cell phones, PDAs and even printers. Bluetooth-enabled devices
can communicate with each other, without cables, up to a
distance of 0 feet.

NOTE: The wireless range can be shortened from interference
caused by other wireless devices and/or by walls made of dense
building materials.

To connect to a Bluetooth enabled device:

1.

Turn on the
Bluetooth
transmitter using
the toggle switch
on the top of your
tablet.
