Learning the Basics Setting up for communications 77 ❖ To clean a disc, wipe it from the center outwards (not in a circle) with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before inserting it in the drive. Setting up for communications To communicate across the telephone lines with another computer, you need: ❖ The computer's modem ❖ A telephone line ❖ A communications program To connect to the Internet, you need a Web browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer. TECHNICAL NOTE: Disable Call Waiting before you connect through the modem. Call Waiting interrupts data transmission. Connecting the modem to a phone line The Satellite 1200 Series computers come with a built-in modem. To use the modem, you must connect it to a standard voice-grade RJ11 telephone line. 1 Attach one end of a standard RJ11 telephone cable to the modem port. To locate the modem port, see "Back" on page 27. 2 Plug the other end of the RJ11 telephone cable into the modular jack of a standard voice-grade telephone line.
