Connecting to the Telephone Line
You need to connect a phone line to take advantage of online services, the
Internet, and Sony Customer Support.
✍
The internal fax modem can only be connected to a subscriber telephone line. Do not
connect it to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange). Connecting to the PBX may cause a
major system malfunction.
Check the dialing mode of your telephone by pressing any button on your telephone
while holding the receiver off the base unit. If you hear a tone sound, your dialing
mode is the tone mode. If you hear a click sound, your dialing mode is the pulse
mode. If you have a rotary-type telephone, your dialing mode is also the pulse mode.
✍
In order to register your notebook online, register your software, or use Sony
Customer Support, you must connect to a phone line. You must also register your
notebook to receive the extended warranty.
