Using A Phone Line - Sony VAIO VAIO Notebook Computer User Manual

Using a Phone Line

You need to connect a phone line to take advantage of online services, the
Internet, and Sony Customer Support.
In order to register your Sony VAIO® notebook, register your software online,
and use Sony Customer Support, you must connect the notebook to a phone line.
1 Gently peel back the rubber phone jack cover. Pulling the phone jack cover
too hard could damage it.
Do not plug the phone cable into the Ethernet port
jack as this may damage your notebook.
2 Plug one end of the phone cable into the phone jack, under the phone jack
cover. Make sure you insert the phone cable from the rear of the notebook
and that the modular jack clicks into place.
3 Plug the other end into the wall jack.
Plugging Phone Cable into Phone Jack
Your notebook 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 might result in excess electrical current and could
cause a malfunction in the internal modem.
