To connect a phone line
Selected models of the HP notebook PC include a built-in modem. If you prefer, you can
instead use a PC card modem or an external modem to connect a phone line.
1. Plug one end of the phone line into the modem phone jack on the computer. Be sure it
clicks into place.
2. Plug the other end of the phone line into a telephone jack. (If the phone line does not
fit your telephone jack, you may need to use an adapter.)
CAUTION
Your built-in modem may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch
exchange (PBX). It cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and it 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.
