Connecting a Telephone Line
You need to connect a telephone line to use online services and the Internet.
In order to register your Sony VAIO
®
computer, register your software online, and use Sony Customer Support, you
must connect the computer to a telephone line.
1.
Gently peel back the rubber telephone jack cover. Pulling the telephone jack cover too hard, or too far, could
damage it.
Do not plug the telephone cable into the Ethernet port
located to the left of the telephone jack as this may
damage your computer.
2.
Plug one end of the telephone cable into the telephone jack, under the telephone jack cover. Make sure you
insert the telephone cable from the rear of the computer and that the modular jack clicks into place.
3.
Plug the other end into the wall jack.
Plugging Telephone Cable into Telephone Jack
Your computer does not work with party lines, cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not work
with multiple telephone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX). Some of these connections might result in excess
electrical current and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem.
