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:
1
Plug one end of the supplied 
phone cable into the LINE port on 
the back of the computer.
2
Plug the other end into the wall 
jack. 
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.
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.
