Getting Started with Your HP Notebook Setting Up Your Notebook Step 3: Connect a phone line If your notebook does not include a built-in modem, you can skip this step. Also, if you prefer, you can instead connect to a PC Card modem or an external modem. 1. Make sure the telephone line is an analog line. You must not use a digital line. (Many office and some home lines are digital.) 2. Plug the telephone cord into the notebook’s modem jack, or the PC Card or external modem. Make sure the cord clicks into place. 3. Plug the other end of the cord into a telephone jack. If the plug on the phone cord doesn’t fit the jack, you may need to use an adapter.
