Sony PCG-838 - Manual (Page 103)

Notes on Use 93
❑ 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.
❑ Your 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 a 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 the 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 problems occur, unplug
your computer, and contact your Sony Service Center.
On Upgrading the System
❑
The procedures described in “Adding Memory” on page 96 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 do any of the procedures described in “Adding Memory” .
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
❑ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives and other
components. Perform the procedures described in “Adding Memory”
only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not
work in a carpeted area, and do not handle materials that produce or
hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example). Ground
yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of
the chassis while performing the procedure.
