           Using Location Controller
                                   To start the Location Controller, do the following:

                                     1   Click Start.

                                     2   Move the cursor to Programs and Norton Mobile Essentials.

                                     3   Click Norton Mobile Essentials Location Controller.

                                     4   To create a new location, click New and follow the instructions
                                         on the window.

                                   Notes:

                                    1. Make sure that you set up the location for your home or office,
                                       so that you can switch back to those settings easily when you
                                       return from your trip.
                                    2. For the best location settings, always use the Location
                                       Controller when you set up a new location. If your Internet
                                       dialer application also has location settings, it will adjust its
                                       settings based on the Location Controller settings in most
                                       cases. You need to choose additional location settings in your
                                       Internet dialer application, such as a local phone number.
                                    3. If you are using a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) such as IBM
                                       WorkPad, do not allow the Location Controller to adjust the
                                       windows clock automatically. This might lead to unwanted
                                       changes in your PDA calendar.

Using the built-in modem features
                    The built-in modem enables you to send or receive data, faxes, and
                    voice over the telephone line. This modem uses a digital signal
                    processor (DSP), and its software can be upgraded, allowing great
                    flexibility. It supports ITU-T V.90 protocols with data rates of 56
                    Kbps, and K56flex protocol with data rates of 56 Kbps.

                    You can use the built-in modem only on a public-switched telephone
                    network (PSTN). You cannot use a private branch exchange (PBX)
                    or some other type of digital telephone extension line. If you connect
                    the built-in modem to a line other than PSTN, an error message
                    appears, preventing you from using the line. If you are not sure
                    which kind of phone line you are using, contact your telephone
                    company.

                         Attention for use overseas
                         In many regions, you cannot use the built-in modem function
                         until IBM has received approval from the proper authorities.
                         Your built-in modem is a worldwide modem and can be used
                         in any region where Postal Telegraph and Telephone (PTT)
                         type approval has been obtained. You can change the
                         modem setting according to the region where you use the
                         modem. If the region you want is not on the Region
                         Selection listing, see http://www.ibm.com/thinkpad on the
                         Internet, and download the newest Region Selection list.
                         If you are a non-U.S. user, the parameter for using the
                         modem is set automatically during the modem installation.
                         The "Modem Region Selection" window enables you to
                         change the region name to that of the region in which you
                         are actually going to use the built-in modem telephony
                         function. Confirm whether the selection matches the region
                         name in the Dialing Properties listing.

                     For more information on the use of the built-in modem in a
                     specific region, contact the IBM customer support center in that
                     region.

                                            To avoid shock hazard, do not connect the cable to or
                                     disconnect the cable from the telephone outlet on the wall during
                                     electrical storms.


           Setting the modem
                                    To use the built-in modem, connect one end of the telephone cable
                                    to the modem connector; then connect the other end to the
                                    telephone outlet on the wall.
                                    Note: To use a DOS modem application in the Windows 95 or
                                    Windows 98 DOS box, disable the infrared port.

                                    When you start Windows, the modem automatically starts and is
                                    ready for use.

                                    To use the built-in modem outside the region where you purchased
                                    the computer, you must change the region name.

           Using the 56-Kbps modem
                                    To take advantage of your modem's 56-Kbps standard protocol
                                    (ITU-T V.90), you must first make sure that your Internet service
                                    provider (ISP) supports the protocol.

                                    Contact your ISP and determine which 56-Kbps modem protocol it
                                    uses.

                                    If your ISP supports the 56-Kbps standard protocol (ITU-T V.90) or
                                    K56flex technology, your modem uses the same 56-Kbps protocol.
                                    Your modem and your ISP must support the same 56-Kbps protocol,
                                    or your maximum connection speed will be limited to V.34
                                    technology.

                                    Significantly higher Internet modem connection speeds up to 56
                                    Kbps require all-digital transmission connections from your ISP to the
                                    line card in the central office to which your phone line is connected.
                                    The higher speeds at which this modem is capable of operating on a
                                    specific network implementation is only one of many ways to deliver
                                    high-quality voice telephony to customers. Failure of the modem to
                                    operate at high speed should not be reported as a fault, unless
                                    ordinary voice telephone calls are substandard.

                                    In the U.S., current FCC regulations limit the maximum speed for
                                    downstream communication to 56 Kbps. Even though your modem
                                    contains 56-Kbps technology, the connect rate in the receive
                                    direction might be significantly less than 56 Kbps.

                                    Currently, the 56-Kbps capability is in the receive direction only (from
                                    the ISP to your local modem). The transmit or send direction (from
                                    your local modem to the ISP) uses V.34 technology.
                                    Note: 56-Kbps transfer rates are not available in all locations. You
                                           must check with your ISP to determine if your area is capable
                                           of 56-Kbps transfer rates.
