Using the modem
Your notebook is equipped with an internal modem. You need to connect a phone line to take advantage of online
services and the Internet, to register your computer and software online, and to contact VAIO-Link.
To connect a phone line, proceed as follows:
1
Plug one end of the phone cable (1) into the phone line jack on the computer.
2
Plug the other end into the wall jack (2).
✍
A country-specific phone plug is supplied with your VAIO notebook, allowing you to plug the phone line into the wall jack. We recommend you to use the supplied
plug, because the usage of any other phone plug can decrease the connection quality.
Your computer cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX). If you connect
the modem to a parallel connected phone line, the modem or the other connected device may not function properly. Some of these connections may result in excess
electrical current and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem.
Only DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) signalling (tone dialling) is supported.
