Provider (ISP) or modem network that has V.90 or V.92
interoperable modems. Check with your ISP for a list of
telephone numbers that support V.90 or V.92. (V.92 enables
modem on-hold technology that allows an Internet session to be
interrupted to answer a phone call, then resumes the Internet
session after the call is complete.)
The maximum speed for faxing is 14.4 Kbps, even though the
modem is capable of downloading at higher speeds.

Wireless (Select Models Only)
If your notebook is equipped with a wireless device, you can
connect by radio to an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless local area
network (WLAN) and access computers and other resources on
the network.
A wireless network provides all the functions of a typical “wired”
network, but also provides for “roaming.” Since your notebook
connects to the network by radio rather than through cables, you
can move from place to place within the network—from your
office to a conference room, for example—and remain on the
network the entire time.

Setting Up an Infrared Transmission
For information about using infrared software and enabling or
disabling infrared ports, refer to the operating system Help files
and to the documentation included with the external infrared
device.
To set up 2 infrared devices, such as the notebook and an optional
printer, for optimal transmission:
■
Position the devices so that their infrared ports face each
other at a distance of no more than 3.3 feet (1 meter).
■
Position the ports so that they face each other directly. The
maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, so the ports must be
aligned no more than 15 degrees off center.
■
Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent
light, and fluorescent light.
■
Be sure that signals from a remote control or other wireless
device (such as a cell phone, a headset, or an audio device)
do not aim at either port.
■
During the transmission, do not move either device and
do not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam.
Avoiding Standby While Using Infrared
Standby is not compatible with infrared transmission. If the
notebook is in Standby, an infrared transmission cannot be
initiated.
If Standby initiates during an infrared transmission, the
transmission stops. To resume from Standby, briefly press
the power button. The transmission resumes when the notebook
resumes from Standby.
