You leave enough space around the computer.

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.
Ergonomic considerations
Whenever possible, you should attempt to take account of the following ergonomic
considerations.
Furniture and posture
Sit in a chair with good back support. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the
floor. A footrest may make you more comfortable.
Sit in a relaxed, upright posture and avoid slouching forward or leaning far backwards.
Viewing angle of the computer screen
Use the screen tilting feature to find the best position. Make sure the computer screen is at or
slightly below eye level when you are sitting in front of your VAIO computer. Adjust the
brightness level of the display as well.
You can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue by adjusting the tilt and brightness level of the
computer screen to the proper position.
