Where to place your VAIO computer
When placing your VAIO computer, ensure that:
You have easy access to a power source and necessary ports.
You leave enough space around the computer.
The location is well-ventilated (such as near the window).
Leave at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space behind and at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space
on each side of the computer.
The computer is placed on a flat surface that is wide enough and you can face the
computer screen as you operate it.
You can place the computer in front of you where you can sit upright and keep your
forearms parallel to the floor.
Where not to place your VAIO computer
Placing your VAIO computer in an inappropriate location may cause damage or a
malfunction. Do not place the computer in a location subject to:
Direct sunlight
Magnetic items or sources
Heat sources, such as residential heating equipment
Excessive dust
High humidity
Poor ventilation
Note
The area around the air exhaust vent may become extremely hot while your VAIO
computer is on. Be careful before touching the area.
Do not place any object near the air exhaust vent that may block the vent.
Hint
Your VAIO computer uses high-frequency radio signals and may cause interference to
radio or TV reception. If this occurs, move the computer a suitable distance away from
the radio or TV.
