✍In order to register your Sony VAIO® computer, register your software online, and use
Sony Customer Support, you must connect the computer to a telephone line.
✍Do not plug the telephone cable into the Ethernet port located to the left of the
telephone jack as this may damage your computer.
Plugging Telephone Cable into Telephone Jack
✍Your computer does not work with party lines, cannot be connected to a coin-operated
telephone, and may not work with multiple telephone lines or a private branch
exchange (PBX). Some of these connections might result in excess electrical current
and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem.
