This section describes how to connect and disconnect the internal modem
to and from a telephone jack.
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.
To select a region, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Click Start All Programs TOSHIBA Networking Modem
Region Select.
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.
■ When you click a region it becomes the modem's default selection
for any new dialling locations that are created within the Windows
Control Panel (Phone and Modem Options).
■ When you select a telephony location, the corresponding region is
automatically selected and becomes the modem's default setting.
■ Connection to any communication line other than an analog phone line
could cause a computer system failure.
■ Connect the built-in modem only to ordinary analog phone lines.
■ Never connect the built-in modem to a digital line (ISDN).
■ Never connect the built-in modem to the digital connector on a
public telephone or to a digital private branch exchange (PBX).
■ Never connect the built-in modem to a key telephone system for
residences or offices.
■ 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.
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.
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.
