Getting Started (features vary by model)

Connecting a Modem

(Select models only)

The modem connects the computer to the telephone line. Use it to connect to an ISP that
provides a telephone dial-up connection to the Internet. If you use a network connection, you
may not need a modem connection.

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).

1

Plug a modem/telephone cable into the computer modem connector (A). Note that the
modem connector on the computer may be green.

2

Plug the other end of the modem/telephone cable into the telephone service line wall
jack connector.

Connecting the Television Signal and Video
Cables

(Select models only)

This section describes how to connect the computer to a television and which cables to use.

Use cables to connect:

TV signal source coaxial cable for video/audio in to the computer.

Or

TV signal source S-video or composite video in to the computer.
TV signal source audio in to the computer.

Or

Video out from the computer.

You may need to purchase cables, a coaxial cable signal splitter, or other accessories
separately. Your computer may not include all the cables you need for the computer setup.

NOTE: Your computer may not come with a modem. The modem may be a connector on the
back of the computer or it may be an external device that plugs into a computer USB
connector.

NOTE: The location and number of connectors on the computer may vary by model.
