finish of your Sony computer.
 Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, keyboard, or mouse, shut down your computer and then
unplug it. You may want to have the computer checked by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
On Installation
 Do not place your Sony computer in a location subject to:
o Heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts
o Direct sunlight
o Excessive dust
o Mechanical vibration or shock
o Strong magnets or speakers that are not magnetically shielded
o Ambient temperature of more than 95ºF (35ºC) or less than
50ºF (10ºC)
o High humidity, moisture, or rain
 Do not place electronic equipment near your computer. The computer's electromagnetic field may cause a
malfunction.
 Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up. Do not place your computer on loose surfaces (such as rugs or blankets) or near materials (such as
curtains or draperies) that may block its ventilation slots. Leave a space of at least 8 inches from the back
panel of your computer.
 The computer uses high-frequency radio signals and may cause interference to radio or TV reception. Should
this occur, relocate the computer a suitable distance away from the set.
 Use only specified peripheral equipment and interface cables; otherwise, problems may result.
 Do not use cut or damaged connection cables.
 Always switch the power off before connecting your computer to peripheral equipment; otherwise, damage
may occur to the integrated circuits in your computer.
 Your computer, keyboard, and mouse consist of high-precision electronic parts. Do not drop them or bump
them against other objects.
 Your Sony computer will not work with party lines, cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and
may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX).
 If the telephone company makes a service call to your home or
office and determines that your computer is responsible for the problem, the telephone company may bill you
for the service call. Also, if you do not disconnect your computer when it is adversely affecting the telephone
line, the telephone company has the right to disconnect your service until you correct the problem.
On Moisture Condensation
If your computer is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside your
computer. In this case, allow at least an hour before turning on your computer. If any problem occurs, unplug your
computer, and contact your Sony Service Center.
On Upgrading the System
 The procedures described in the online document "Upgrading and Maintaining Your VAIO Computer" 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 in the online document "Upgrading and
Maintaining Your VAIO Computer." Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
