Modem

All notebook models include an RJ-11 telephone jack, and a preinstalled V.92 modem. A modem cable with RJ-11 connectors at each end is also included with select models.

If you purchased a notebook with an internal modem in a country where RJ-11 telephone jacks are not standard, a country-specific modem adapter is included with the notebook.

For best performance, you can connect to any Internet Service Provider (ISP) or modem network that has V.90 or V.92 interoperable modems. Check with your ISP for a list of telephone numbers that support V.90 or V.92. (V.92 enables modem on-hold technology that allows an Internet session to be interrupted to answer a phone call, then resumes the Internet session after the call is complete.)

The maximum speed for faxing is 14.4 Kbps, even though the modem is capable of downloading at higher speeds.

CAUTION: 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 electrical voltage and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem. Check your telephone line type prior to connecting your phone line.

Ryan Masterfile.book Page 3 Monday, June 9, 2003 2:33 PM

Connecting the Modem

A modem must be connected to an analog telephone line.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the

equipment, do not plug a telephone cable into the RJ-45 network jack.

WARNING: Connecting the notebook to a digital line can

permanently damage the modem. Immediately disconnect your modem cable if accidentally connected to a digital line.

CAUTION: Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble RJ-11 telephone

jacks, but are not compatible with the modem.

For more information on connecting and configuring your modem, refer to the Modem and Networking Guide included on the Documentation Library CD.

Wireless (Select Models Only)

If your notebook is equipped with a wireless device, you can connect by radio to an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless local area network (WLAN) and access computers and other resources on the network.

A wireless network provides all the functions of a typical “wired” network, but also provides for “roaming.” Since your notebook connects to the network by radio rather than through cables, you can move from place to place within the network—from your office to a conference room, for example—and remain on the network the entire time.

To Turn Wireless Communication On and Off

Wireless networks and cellular modems are examples of devices that use wireless communication. Such devices may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as when traveling in an airplane. If in doubt, be sure to ask for authorization before turning on your notebook wireless networking.

In Italy, Singapore, and possibly other countries, you may be required to purchase a license before using the wireless function.

Turning On Communication and Making a Connection

To turn on wireless communication and connect to a wireless network:

1. If the notebook is not on, turn it on.

2. Press the wireless on-off button (Quick Launch button) located above the number pad of the notebook to turn wireless 802.11b or 802.11g communication on and off

The wireless indicator light on the Wireless On/Off Quick Launch button turns on when 802.11b or 802.11g wireless communication is turned on.

To check the status of your wireless connection, open Network Connections in Control Panel, then select the connection.

Turning Off Communication and Ending a Connection

To end wireless communication and disconnect from a wireless notebook:

1. Close any files that reside on other network notebooks.

2. To turn off the wireless 802.11b or 802.11g communication without turning off the notebook, press the wireless on-off button.

Putting the notebook in Standby or shutting it down also turns off the wireless function.

Setting Up an Infrared Transmission

For information about using infrared software and enabling or disabling infrared ports, refer to the operating system Help files and to the documentation included with the external infrared device.

To set up 2 infrared devices, such as the notebook and an optional printer, for optimal transmission:

■ Position the devices so that their infrared ports face each

other at a distance of no more than 3.3 feet (1 meter).

■ Position the ports so that they face each other directly. The

maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, so the ports must be aligned no more than 15 degrees off center.

■ Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent

light, and fluorescent light.

Communications

■ Be sure that signals from a remote control or other wireless

device (such as a cell phone, a headset, or an audio device) do not aim at either port.

■ During the transmission, do not move either device and

do not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam.

Avoiding Standby While Using Infrared

Standby is not compatible with infrared transmission. If the notebook is in Standby, an infrared transmission cannot be initiated.

If Standby initiates during an infrared transmission, the transmission stops. To resume from Standby, briefly press the power button. The transmission resumes when the notebook resumes from Standby.
