Connecting a Modem
For information on connecting to the Internet, see “Connecting to the Internet” in the
Getting Started guide.
The modem is used for connecting to an ISP that provides a telephone dial-up connection
to the Internet.
Before you can use telephone dial-up to connect to the Internet and send or receive e-mail
and faxes, you must connect your telephone service line to the modem (A), which is on the
back of the computer (B). The setup poster shows you how to plug a modem/telephone
cable into the computer modem connector and into your telephone service line wall jack
connector.
