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, it will be necessary to select the country where you are actually using it. The detailed procedure for selecting the actual country is explained in Configuring your modem in the Software User Guide.
