If you have only one phone line, consider purchasing a line splitter at
an electronics supply store. The splitter allows you to plug your
phone and modem into the same phone jack at the same time. Don’t for-
get, if your phone and modem share a single phone line, you cannot
use both the phone and modem at the same time. While you are using
the modem, outside callers will get a busy signal; when the phone is in
use, you cannot use the modem.
IMPORTANT:
Unplug your modem from the phone jack during lightning
storms to prevent voltage overload.
Connecting Peripherals
If you are new to working with the MacOS, it’s a good idea to get some
experience using your computer before you connect other equipment
such as a printer, scanner, or modem. To learn basic SuperMac C600x
computer skills, see Chapter 2.
When you are ready to connect other equipment to the external ports
on your SuperMac C600x computer, see Chapter 3 for instructions.
