Making Connections Using the Modem Using the Modem By connecting your modem to a telephone line, your PC can communicate with other networked computers. You can explore the Internet, send and receive e-mail messages, and send and receive faxes. Your HP notebook PC contains several software programs that work with your modem: • Internet Explorer, for browsing the World Wide Web • Outlook Express, for sending and receiving e-mail messages • Windows XP Fax Console, Windows 2000 fax software, or QuickLink with Windows 98, for sending and receiving faxes. Selected models of the HP notebook PC include a built-in high-speed V.90 modem. This modem allows you to connect to any Internet Service Provider (ISP) that has V.90 interoperable modems. Check with your ISP for a list of telephone numbers that support V.90. Note that the maximum speed for faxing is 14.4Kbps. Even though the built-in modem is capable of downloading at 56Kbps, your ISP may not operate at this speed; please check with your service provider for information. Transmission rates also depend on the condition of the telephone line. If your computer does not have a built-in modem (or if you prefer to use a different modem), you can install a PC card modem. CAUTION Important safety information To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord to connect the modem to the telephone wall jack. When using your computer with a telephone connection, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons: • Do not use this product with a telephone connection near water, for example, near a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, or in a wet basement. • Avoid using a telephone connection (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. • Do not use a telephone connection to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. 60 Reference Guide

and send and receive faxes. Your HP notebook PC contains several software programs
that work with your modem:

Selected models of the HP notebook PC include a built-in high-speed V.90 modem. This
modem allows you to connect to any Internet Service Provider (ISP) that has V.90
interoperable modems. Check with your ISP for a list of telephone numbers that support
