Connecting a Modem with an Adapter

To connect a modem to an analog telephone line that does not
have an RJ-11 telephone jack:

1. Identify the RJ-11 jack 1 on the notebook.

2. If the modem cable has noise suppression circuitry 2, which

prevents interference with TV and radio reception, orient the
circuitry end of the cable toward the notebook.

3. Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 telephone jack (not the

RJ-45 network jack) on the notebook 3.

4. Plug the modem cable into the country-specific modem

adapter 4.

5. Plug the country-specific modem adapter into the

telephone jack 5.

Connecting a modem with a modem adapter (Telephone wall

jacks vary in appearance by region and country.)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the
modem from the telephone network before accessing an internal

compartment of the notebook. Internal compartments include the
memory compartment and the battery and hard drive bays.
