Be careful when installing a memory module in your notebook, and be sure to observe the proper safety precautions listed below. Mistakes that occur when installing or removing a memory module may cause a malfunction. The procedures described below assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment. Disconnect the system from its power source and from any telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the system or follow any of the procedures described below. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives and other components. Perform the procedures described below only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for 71 VAIO® Notebook User Guide example). Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while performing the procedure. Do not open the memory module package until you are ready to install the module. [. . . ] Your notebook is equipped with a 56K/V. 90 compatible modem. Many factors may influence modem connection speed, including telephone line noise or compatibility with telephone equipment (such as fax machines or other modems). If you think your modem is not connecting properly to other PC-based modems, fax machines, or your Internet Service Provider, proceed as follows: Have your phone company check that your phone line is free from any line noise. If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with the fax machine you are calling and that it is compatible with fax modems. [. . . ]
