Using the modem

Your VAIO desktop is equipped with an internal modem. You need to connect a phone line to take advantage of online services and the Internet, to register your computer and software online, and to contact VAIO-Link.

To connect a phone line, proceed as follows:

Plug one end of the phone cable (1) into the phone connector on the back of the computer and plug the other end into the wall jack (2).

✍ A country-specific phone plug is supplied with your VAIO desktop, allowing you to plug the phone line into the wall jack. We recommend you to use the supplied plug, because the usage of any other phone plug can decrease the connection quality. See Using the correct phone plug (page 32). 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.
