Your computer cannot be
connected to a coin-operated
telephone, and may not work with
multiple phone lines or a private
branch exchange (PBX). Some of
these connections may result in
excess electrical current and could
cause a malfunction in the internal
modem.
Phone cable and connectors are
TNV (Telecommunications Network
Voltage), according to EN60950.
If you connect the modem to a
parallel connected phone line, the
modem or the other connected
device may not function properly.
* A country-specific phone plug is
supplied with your VAIO notebook
computer, allowing you to plug the
phone line into the wall jack.
