Using the modem
Your notebook is equipped with an internal modem.
You need to connect to a phone line not only to take advantage of online services and the Internet, but also
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).
✍
Before using the modem, you will need to select your current
location. The detailed procedure for selecting the country is
explained in
Configuring your modem
in the Software Guide.
Do not pull the flexible cover too forcefully.
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.
