Avoid using your computer modem with the telephone cable
connected during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
Modem functions cannot be used in models which are not equipped with a
modem.
Region selection
Telecommunication regulations vary from one region to another, so you will
need to make sure the internal modem's settings are correct for the region
in which it will be used.
The built-in modem can be used only in specified countries and regions.
Using the modem in an area not specified for use may cause a system
failure. Check the specified areas carefully before using it.
To select a region, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Click Start
Region Select.
If it is available, do not use the Country/Region Select function included as
part of the modem setup utility within the Control Panel - if you change the
country/region setting this way you may find that the change does not take
effect.
2. The Region Selection icon will appear in the Windows Taskbar.
3. Click the icon with the primary (left) mouse button to display a list of
regions that the modem supports, together with a sub-menu which
details telephony location information - a check mark will appear next to
the currently selected region and telephony location.
4. Select either a region from the region menu or a telephony location from
the sub-menu.
