CAUTION: For electrical safety concerns, only use telephone cables rated 26AWG or
higher. (see Glossary for more information)

NOTE: When you are connected to an online service, do not place the Notebook PC in
suspend (or sleep mode) or else you will disconnect the modem connection.

WARNING! Only use analog telephone outlets. The built-in modem does not support
the voltage used in digital phone systems. Do not connect the RJ-11 to digital phone
systems found in many commercial buildings or else damage will occur!

Example of the Notebook PC connected to a telephone jack for use with the built-in modem:

Modem Connection

The telephone wire used to connect the Notebook PC’s internal mo-
dem should have either two or four wires (only two wires (telephone
line #1) is used by the modem) and should have an RJ-11 connector
on both ends. Connect one end to the modem port and the other end
to an analog telephone wall socket (the ones found in residential
buildings). Once the driver is setup, the modem is ready to use.
