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:
Plug one end of the phone cable (1) into the phone line jack on the computer and plug the other end into
the wall jack (2).
✍
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.
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.
Before using the modem, it will be necessary to select the country
where you are actually using it. The detailed procedure for selecting
your present location is explained in
Configuring your modem
in
the Software User Guide.
