Connecting a Phone Line 
You need to connect a phone line to take advantage of online services and the 
Internet. 
1

In order to register your Sony VAIO notebook, register your software online, and use 
Sony Customer Support, you must connect to a phone line.
Connecting phone cable
Your computer does not work with party lines, 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.
If you connect a phone line coming through a splitter, the modem or connected device 
may not work properly.
