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.
Modem Connection
The telephone wire used to connect the Notebook PC’s internal modem 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.
NOTE: The built-in modem and network cannot be installed later as an upgrade. After
purchase, modem and/or network can be installed as an expansion card.
