Getting Started
This section helps you get your computer running and registered, so you
can take advantage of Sony’s many support options. You’ll also learn how
to locate your on-screen VAIO® Computer User Guide, which contains
step-by-step instructions for operating your computer.
Turning On Your Computer
To use your computer immediately, use the supplied AC adapter as a power
source. Your supplied battery is not charged when you unpack it, however, you
can begin charging it when you use your AC adapter. See “Powering Your
Computer” in your on-screen VAIO® Computer User Guide for more
information about using batteries. See also “Locating Your VAIO Computer User
Guide” on page 36.
To insert and charge the battery
1 First turn the computer over so the bottom panel is facing up.
2 Slide the LOCK/UNLOCK switch to UNLOCK, and then slide the
RELEASE switch in the direction of the arrow to lift the battery bay cover.
