Do not connect the internal modem to a
Digital PBX as it may cause serious damage
to the modem or your LifeBook notebook.
It should be noted that some hotels use
the Digital PBX systems, please be sure to
find out BEFORE you connect your
modem. Consult your PBX manufacturer’s
documentation for more information.

The internal modem is designed to the
ITU-T V.90 standard. Its maximum speed
of 53000bps is the highest allowed by the
FCC, and its actual connection rate
depends on the line conditions. The
maximum speed is 33600bps at upload.

The 1394 port in this system uses a four-
pin configuration. If you intend to
interface with devices which have a six-pin
configuration, you will need to purchase
an adapter.
