Using the modem
Your VAIO desktop 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 supplied phone
cable into the LINE port on the back of
the computer.
2
Plug the other end into the wall jack.
✍
A country-specific phone plug is supplied with your VAIO
desktop, 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.
