NOTE: The eBook uses the modem only when it has no Ethernet connection. If it is connected both to an Ethernet network and to a telephone line, the eBook always chooses the faster Ethernet connection.

ALERT: When you connect your eBook to a telephone line, make sure that it is a normal analog line, not a digital line. Like other standard modems, your eBook’s modem cannot communicate through a digital line and runs the risk of damage. Home telephone lines are almost always analog, but some lines in office buildings, hotels, convention centers, or similar locations may be digital. If a digital line has a jack labeled “Dataport,” you can safely connect your eBook to that jack. If you’re unsure about the line, the receptionist or office manager in most locations can tell you what type of line you are connecting to.

• Plug one end of the phone cord that came with your eBook into the phone jack of an analog telephone line. Plug the other end into the phone jack on the top of your eBook.
• Open the eBook cover. If your eBook is not already on, press the Menu button.
• To connect to the eBookstore, press the Menu button and tap Bookstore. To connect to your Online Bookshelf, press the Bookshelf button, and tap the Online Bookshelf tab.
• The eBook dials to connect to the eBook Network. During this time, a Dialing Status window appears at the top of the screen to display the progress of the connection.
• If you are connecting to the Network for the first time, your eBook will prompt you to complete the registration form. For more details on the registration process see the “Quick Start Guide” that came packed with your product. Otherwise, once the connection is complete, you’ll see the opening screen of the eBookstore or your Online Bookshelf. You can now explore the eBookstore.
• From the eBookstore, you can also explore other services on the eBook Network. Press the Menu button to open the Menu, and then tap Directory. The Directory page appears with a list of services available to you.

ALERT: Currently, you can only connect to the eBook Network via a telephone line in the United States or Canada. If you’re in the United States or Canada and want to use your own Internet Service Provider, see Connecting through Your Own ISP.
