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.
Before using your modem, you will need to select the country where you are actually using it. The detailed
procedure for selecting the country is explained in Configuring your modem in the Software Guide.
To connect a phone line, proceed as follows:
1 Plug one end of the supplied phone cable (1) into the phone connector on the back of the computer.
See Using the correct phone plug (page 29)
2 Plug the other end into the wall jack (2).
✍ 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.
