Using a modem (select products only)

A modem must be connected to an analog telephone line using a 6-pin, RJ-11 modem cable. In some

countries or regions, a specific modem cable adapter is also required. Jacks for digital PBX systems may

resemble analog telephone jacks, but they are not compatible with the modem.

Connecting a modem cable

To connect the modem cable, follow these steps:

1.

Plug the modem cable into the modem jack (1) on the computer.

2.

Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 telephone wall jack (2).

NOTE:

If the modem cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference from

TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.

Connecting a country- or region-specific modem cable adapter

Telephone jacks vary by country or region. To use the modem and the modem cable outside the country or

region in which you purchased the computer, you must obtain a country- or region-specific modem cable

adapter.
