Using the modem
Your computer 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).
Troubleshooting the modem
My modem does not work or cannot establish a connection
Check that the phone line is plugged into your computer.
Make sure that the modem is the only device connected to your phone line.
Check that the phone line is working. You can check the line by plugging in an ordinary phone and
listening for a dial tone.
Check that the phone number the program is dialling is correct. The modem dialling mode may be
incompatible with your telephone line.
The modem may not work properly if you are with a Private Automatic Branch eXchange (PABX).
