Preparing for communications
To connect to the Internet, use an online service, or 
communicate across the telephone lines with another 
computer, you may need:
A modem (supplied with your computer) 
A telephone line 
A browser or communications program 
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or an online service if 
you plan to use the Internet 
Before you can use the modem, you must connect it to a 
standard voice-grade telephone line. See 
 for details.
Powering down the computer
Pushing the power button before shutting down the Windows
®
 
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make 
sure the system indicator panel’s disk light and the drive-in-
use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being 
accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive.
When you power down the computer, you have three options 
to choose from: Turn Off Computer, Standby, and 
Hibernation. 
You can set the computer to turn on automatically at a time 
you designate. This option is helpful for transferring files by 
modem at night. You can set the computer to turn on and send 
or receive the files while you are asleep. This option is called 
Auto Power On.
