Using the modem

 

User

Your notebook is equipped with an internal modem.

 

 

 

Notebook

You need to connect to a phone line to take advantage of online services and the Internet, as well as to

register your computer and software online, and to contact VAIO-Link.

 

 

To connect a phone line, proceed as follows:

 

Sony

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).

 

 

 

✍ 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.

 

 

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.

It is possible that a country-specific phone plug is supplied with your VAIO notebook, allowing you to plug the phone line into the wall jack. We recommend that you use the supplied plug, because the usage of any other phone plug can decrease the connection quality.
