TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
You must contract with an Internet service provider. Also, you need to have a telephone line to
be connected to the service provider.
Contracting with the Internet Service Provider
An Internet service provider (an enterprise or an organization that provides the Internet connection
and related services) is generally called a “provider.”
•Contract with the provider
Get the information about the sign-up to the provider, connection fee, service contents and
other information from an Internet magazine.
We recommend that you compare available services and select the provider that best fits your
needs.
•If you have already contracted with a provider
You can use your provider accounts (such as user ID and password) on your PC.
•When you have contracted with a provider
You will receive a document showing your user ID, password and e-mail address. Keep this
document to hand when you set up the Internet connection.
Caution
• You may need a credit card when contracting with some providers.
