Using your notebook Sony Notebook User Guide nN 51 Using the modem Your notebook 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 2 Plug one end of the phone cable (1) into the phone line jack on the computer. Plug the other end into the wall jack (2). A country-specific phone plug is supplied with your VAIO notebook, 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. Phone cable and connectors are TNV (Telecommunications Network Voltage), according to EN60950. Only DTMP (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) signalling (tone dialling) is supported. Using your notebook Sony Notebook User Guide nN 52 Using power saving modes When you use a battery as the source of power for your computer, you can take advantage of power management settings to conserve battery life. In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific devices, your computer has two distinct power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate. When using battery power, you should be aware that the computer automatically enters Hibernate mode when the remaining battery charge drops below 7 percent, regardless of the power management setting you select. If the battery level falls to below 10 percent, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully charged battery. Using Normal mode This is the normal state of your computer when it is in use. The green power indicator light is on in this mode. To save power, you can turn off a specific device such as the LCD or the hard disk. Using Standby mode The computer saves the current state of the system in RAM and switches off power to the CPU. The umber power light flashes in this mode. To activate Standby mode, proceed as follows: Press <Fn>+<Esc> Or, Press the power button. [. . . ] Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased battery efficiency at low temperatures. Charge the batteries at temperatures between 10° C to 30° C. Lower temperatures require a longer charging time. [. . . ]
