Connecting your modem to a telephone jack

The GeoPort Telecom Adapter that came with your computer lets you connect your computer’s high-
speed Express modem to a telephone jack so you can send electronic mail (e-mail) and fax messages,
and connect to the Internet.

Important  

If you’re planning to install telephone wiring or telephone jacks, follow these

precautions:  

m Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

m Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are specifically designed for wet

locations.

m Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

m Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

m Avoid using a telephone, other than a cordless type, during an electrical storm. There may be a

remote risk of shock from lightning. 

m Never use a telephone to report a gas leak while in the vicinity of the leak.
