Sony Notebook Computer User Guide

✍Your computer cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX). Some of these connections may result in excess electrical current and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem.

Phone cable and connectors are TNV (Telecommunications Network Voltage), according to EN60950.

If you connect the modem to a parallel connected phone line, the modem or the other connected device may not function properly.

*A country-specific phone plug is supplied with your VAIO notebook computer, allowing you to plug the phone line into the wall jack.
