Connecting a Modem in North America, Latin America,
Japan, or Hong Kong
If the computer was purchased for North America, Latin America,
Japan, or Hong Kong, the computer features
A 33.6 kilobytes per second (Kbps) integrated modem
An RJ-11 jack
A 25-pin connector
The RJ-11 jack is a telephone connector that can be used with a
standard (analog) telephone line and wall jack in all of the regions
listed above.
To connect to an analog line in a hotel, request a data line.
To connect to an analog line in an office, connect to a fax
machine line or a modem line.
You can connect the modem to an analog line when the computer
is on, off, in Suspend, or in Hibernation.
The integrated modem is equipped with a digital line guard. This
feature protects the modem if you accidentally connect it to a
digital line, such as a digital PBX system line, instead of an
analog line. If the modem is connected to a digital line, the
following error message is displayed on the screen:

The 25-pin connector is a telephone connector that can be used
with a cellular phone in North America and, when using an
International Modem Adapter, with standard telephone lines in
regions other than those listed above. For more information about
using the 25-pin connector, refer in this chapter to “Connecting
the Modem to a Cellular Phone (North America)” and to
“Traveling Internationally.”
