The VAIO® Action Setup utility enables you to program your computer to notify 
you when new mail arrives in your e-mail mailbox. The 

 

Information LED 

turns red to indicate that new e-mail has arrived. The AutoAlert™ E-mail 
Notification System uses Microsoft® Outlook® Express software as the default 
e-mail software. You need an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and an Internet 
connection to be set up before using this e-mail notification system.

As an alternative, you can program your AutoAlert E-mail Notification System to 
have the Information LED indicate when it has successfully completed the task 
of connecting to your ISP to receive e-mail. In this case, the Information LED 
light indicates that your e-mail account has been successfully accessed, 
regardless of whether or not you have e-mail. This feature is supported by the 
preconfigured e-mail applications listed in the VAIO Action Setup utility.

If you use software that requires use of a phone line, there may be restrictions on 
how the AutoAlert e-mail notificaiton system works.

❑

The computer may not be able to disconnect the phone line due to 
communication and server conditions.

❑

Monitor the status of the software when running the AutoAlert E-mail 
Notification System, and manually disconnect the phone line if you notice a 
malfunction. 

❑

When using the timer to start the software, set the computer to shut down or 
enter system Stand by mode after a certain length of time. This permits the 
computer to disengage the phone line if the computer does not disconnect 
the line normally.

✍

The e-mail software you choose to use with the PPK must be set as your default e-mail 
software.
