This section describes how to connect and disconnect the internal modem

Region selection
Telecommunication regulations vary from one region to another, so you will
need to make sure the internal modem’s settings are correct for the region
in which it will be used.
To select a region, follow the steps below.
1. Click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Networking -> Modem
Region Select.
The internal modem does not support voice functions. All data and fax
functions are supported.
■ In case of a lightning storm, unplug the modem cable from the
telephone jack.
■ Do not connect the modem to a digital telephone line. A digital line will
damage the modem.
Do not use the Country/Region Select function in the Modem setup utility
in the Control Panel if the function is available. If you change the Country/
Region in the Control Panel, the change may not take effect.
