Modem and Network Connections Using the Modem 2. Connect the telephone cord to the built-in modem. CAUTION 3. Plug the other end of the phone cord into a telephone jack. If the plug on the phone cord doesn't fit the jack, you may need to use an adapter. 4. Check your modem's country or region settings: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and Modem Options. Your built-in modem may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX), cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and does not work with party lines. Some of these connections may result in excess voltage and cause the modem to malfunction. Check your telephone line type before connecting your phone line to your notebook. Special notes about using a modem in certain countries • The pulse dialing feature may be disabled in some countries, possibly because Loop Disconnect is not certified there. If pulse dialing is disabled, use tone dialing connections only. • Many countries impose a blackout period after a modem repeatedly fails to connect to a service provider. The number of failed attempts and the time you must wait before trying again differ from country to country. Check with your telephone company. For example, if you were dialing from Italy and failed to connect to your server or canceled the connection, you would have to wait one minute before dialing that number again. If you dialed before then, you would get an error message reading "delay." After the fourth failed connection, you would need to wait one hour before trying the number again. If you dialed before the hour was up, you would get a message reading "black list." Reference Guide 55
