Using the AutoAlert E-mail Notification System Using the AutoAlert E-mail Notification System The VAIO® Action Setup utility enables you to program your computer to notify you when new mail arrives in your e-mail mailbox. The Information LED turns red to indicate that new e-mail has arrived. The AutoAlert™ E-mail Notification System uses Microsoft® Outlook® Express software as the default e-mail software. You need an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and an Internet connection to be set up before using this e-mail notification system. As an alternative, you can program your AutoAlert E-mail Notification System to have the Information LED indicate when it has successfully completed the task of connecting to your ISP to receive e-mail. In this case, the Information LED light indicates that your e-mail account has been successfully accessed, regardless of whether or not you have e-mail. This feature is supported by the preconfigured e-mail applications listed in the VAIO Action Setup utility. ✍ The e-mail software you choose to use with the PPK must be set as your default e-mail software. AutoAlert E-mail Notification System Software Restrictions If you use software that requires use of a phone line, there may be restrictions on how the AutoAlert e-mail notificaiton system works. ❑ The computer may not be able to disconnect the phone line due to communication and server conditions. ❑ Monitor the status of the software when running the AutoAlert E-mail Notification System, and manually disconnect the phone line if you notice a malfunction. ❑ When using the timer to start the software, set the computer to shut down or enter system Stand by mode after a certain length of time. This permits the computer to disengage the phone line if the computer does not disconnect the line normally. 33
