Notes on Using the Touch Screen (Touch screen equipped models)
Before using the touch screen, read the following precautions for correct use.
Do not push the touch screen roughly.
Gentle touches always work as your VAIO computer is equipped with a capacitive touch screen.
Do not use an object other than your finger to use the touch screen.
The touch screen may be damaged or a malfunction may occur. Be sure to touch the screen only with your
finger.
The touch screen may not work properly if you turn on your VAIO computer while touching the screen or if
the computer is affected by electromagnetic waves during the start-up process. In such a case, restart the
computer.
The touch screen may not work for several seconds after your VAIO computer returns to Normal mode from
Sleep mode. In such a case, wait for a while before using the touch screen.
Keep the touch screen clean for good touch sensitivity. Dirt may cause damage or a malfunction.
When you touch your VAIO computer with an NFC/One-touch functions supported device, the touch screen
may respond to the touch. This does not indicate a malfunction.

Note
Your VAIO computer is equipped with a capacitive touch screen. When using it, note the following
characteristics of the capacitive touch screen.
The touch screen will not work if you touch it with fingernails, or if you wear gloves.
If tapping triggers an unintentional operation, make sure that no other parts of your body are in contact with the touch
screen.
The surface of the touch screen may get hot. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Even though the surface of the touch screen is tempered glass, it could still become damaged. Treat it with adequate
care. If it breaks, small granular shards may scatter and cause injury.
Do not drop the touch screen or subject it to a strong impact. Do not scratch the surface. A surface flaw may cause the
glass to break.
A protection sheet may be attached to the LCD screen frame at the factory. Remove the sheet before use; otherwise
the touch screen may not work correctly.
Some apps do not accept touch screen operations.
