To connect to a cable or DSL modem or to a wired
Ethernet network:
1
Insert one end of the network cable into the network
jack
on your notebook.
2
Insert the other end of the network cable into a cable
modem, DSL modem, or Ethernet network jack.
Warning
High voltages can enter your notebook through both the power cord and
the modem connection. To protect your notebook and avoid electrical shock, use
a surge protector. If you have a telephone modem, use a surge protector that has
a modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a surge protector that has an
antenna/cable TV jack. During an electrical storm, unplug both the surge
protector and the modem.
Tip
When using a cable with a sleeve over the plug, pull the sleeve
back to make sure that the plug locks into the jack.
