Using the modem
Your notebook is equipped with an internal modem. 
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:
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, you will need to select your 
current location. The detailed procedure for selecting 
the country is explained in Configuring your modem 
in the Software Guide.
It is possible that a country-specific phone plug is supplied with your VAIO notebook, allowing you to plug the phone line into the wall jack.
We recommend that you use the supplied plug, because the usage of any other phone plug can decrease the connection quality.
