Connecting a Modem
For information on connecting to the Internet, see “Connecting to the Internet” in this guide.
The modem is used for connecting to an ISP that provides a telephone dial-up connection
to the Internet.
Before you can use telephone dial-up to connect to the Internet and send or receive e-mail
and faxes, you must connect your telephone service line to the modem (
A ), which is on the
back of the computer ( B ). The setup poster shows you how to plug a modem/telephone
cable into the computer modem connector and into your telephone service line wall jack
connector.
