44 Chapter 3 Using Your PowerBook
Using Your Modem
Your computer comes with an Apple 56K v.92 modem installed. To connect the
modem, plug one end of the phone cord or RJ-11 cable in to the modem port on the
computer and the other end in to a standard RJ-11 telephone wall jack.
Make sure you connect the internal modem to an analog phone line—the kind
typically used in homes.
For information about how to establish an Internet connection, see Appendix C,
“Connecting to the Internet,” on page 79. More information about the internal modem
is also available in Mac Help.
Using External Video Support (DVI, VGA, and S-Video)
Your computer has an external monitor (DVI) port that allows you to directly connect a
display or projector with a DVI port. Use the included DVI-to-VGA adapter to connect
your PowerBook to monitors and projectors that have VGA connectors.
The TV out port (also known as an S-video out port) on your computer lets you connect
to a television, videocassette recorder (VCR), or video projection system using an
S-video cable. You can use TV out to display images on a television, record computer
images on a VCR, or play DVD-Video discs on your TV.
Warning: Do not connect a digital phone line to the modem as it could damage the
modem. Contact your telephone service provider if you are unsure whether you have
a digital phone line.
