Using Your Modem Your Macintosh comes with an Apple 56K V.90 internal modem installed. To connect the Apple 56K V.90 internal modem, plug one end of a phone cord into the modem port on the back of the computer and the other end into a standard RJ-11 telephone wall jack. Modem port icon Modem port Important Make sure you connect the internal modem to an analog phone line -the kind used typically in homes. The modem will not work with a digital phone line. More information about the internal modem is available in Mac Help (in the Help menu). Warning Disconnect your modem from the phone jack during lightning or thunder storms. This will prevent a destructive voltage overload from damaging the modem. Using an External USB Modem To connect an external USB modem, use a USB cable to connect the modem to a free USB port on the keyboard, computer, USB monitor, or USB hub. Check the documentation that came with the modem to see if it needs to be plugged into a power outlet. Also look for instructions about installing modem software and connecting the modem to a telephone line. 44 Chapter 3
