Using the Audio Features
Your computer is equipped with the following:
A -inch (3.5-mm) diameter external stereo line-in or monaural
microphone/line-in jack.
Note: To use the input jack for an external stereo line-in device,
you need to disable the microphone function with the
software on your operating system. For example in
Windows 98, you can disable the function by putting a
check mark in the check box of Mute for MIC in the
"Master Out" window. To use the jack for a manual
microphone, disable the line-in function with the software.
A -inch (3.5-mm) diameter stereo headphone or an
external-powered speaker jack.
A MIDI/joystick port on the docking station. To use a MIDI
device, you should first connect your computer to the docking
station; then connect an external MIDI device to the replicator.
After docking your computer in the replicator, you should enable
this port using the ThinkPad Configuration program.
Your computer also has an audio chip that enables you to enjoy
various multimedia audio features. This audio chip provides the
following features:
Recording and playing back of PCM and WAV files in 8-bit or
16-bit format.
Sampling of various rates from 8 KHz to 44 KHz for the WAV
file.
Playback of MIDI files through an FM synthesizer.
Recording from various sound sources, such as an integrated
microphone, an external microphone, or an audio device
attached to a line-in jack.
DOS game compatibility. You should select Sound Blaster Pro**
for the audio adapter in the sound setup of the game.
A 3D Effects function, compensating for flat, two-dimensional
sound image limitations by reestablishing the necessary

10 IBM ThinkPad 600E Online Book
| Your computer might provide volume control as part of its hardware
| function. You can control the volume with the volume control knob.
| If your computer does not have a volume control knob, however, you
| control volume by pressing the PgUp ( ) or PgDn ( ) key.

| or PgDn key combination is the maximum or minimum value
| of the volume.
Chapter 2. Using Audio and Modem Features 11
Using the Modem Features
The ThinkPad 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 enables you to enhance the modem capability to support
ITU-T V.90 protocols with data rates of 56 Kbps.
You can use the ThinkPad 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 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 countries, you cannot use the ThinkPad modem
function until IBM has received approval from the proper
authorities.
Your ThinkPad modem is a worldwide modem and can be
used in any country where Postal Telegraph and Telephone
(PTT) type approval has been obtained. If the country you
want is not on the Country Selection listing, see
http://www.ibm.com/thinkpad on the Internet, and download
the newest Country Selection list.
If you are a non-U.S. user, run the Country Selection
program in the ThinkPad Modem folder after you complete
the ThinkPad modem installation. The "Country Selection"
window enables you to change the country name to that of
the country in which you are actually going to use the
ThinkPad modem telephony function in. Click on ThinkPad
Modem in your operating system; then click on Country
Selection. Confirm whether the selection matches the
| country name in the Dialing Properties listing (for Windows
| 98 and Windows 95).
For more information on the use of the internal modem in a
specific country, contact the IBM customer support center in that
country. You can look up the phone number by referring to the
international service information booklet that came with your
computer.
DANGER
To avoid shock hazard, do not connect the cable to or
disconnect the cable from the telephone outlet on the wall during
electrical storms.
To use the ThinkPad modem, connect one end of the telephone
cable to the modem connector; then connect the other end to the
telephone outlet on the wall.

For Windows 98, Windows 95 and Windows NT
When you start Windows, the ThinkPad modem automatically starts
and is ready for use.
Using the 56-Kbps Modem
To take advantage of your modem's 56-Kbps U.S. Robotics 56k
Technology**, you must first make sure that your Internet service
provider (ISP) supports a 56-Kbps modem protocol.
1 Contact your ISP and determine which 56-Kbps modem
protocol it uses.
2 Determine which 56-Kbps modem protocol your modem
supports. To view your modem's supported protocol, do the
following:
a) Click on Start, move the cursor to Programs, and then
click on ThinkPad Modem.
b) Choose Options from the "Modem Status" window; then
choose Settings.
The available transfer speeds are displayed. The 56-Kbps
protocol your modem supports is listed in parentheses
following the 56-Kbps transfer setting. Be sure to select
the 56-Kbps transfer setting to use it.
Your modem and your ISP must support the same 56-Kbps protocol,
or your maximum connection speed is 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.
14 IBM ThinkPad 600E Online Book
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.
Notes:
1. 56-Kbps transfer rates are not available in all locations or countries. You
must check with your ISP to determine if your area is capable of
56-Kbps transfer rates.
2. Your modem can be upgraded to support the 56-Kbps standard protocol
(ITU-T V.90). For more information on upgrading, refer to
http://www.ibm.com/thinkpad.
