Precautions
80
Do not place your computer in a location subject to:
Heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts
Direct sunlight
Excessive dust
Moisture or rain
Mechanical vibration or shock
Strong magnets or speakers that are not magnetically shielded
An ambient temperature of more than 35ºC or less than 10ºC
High humidity.
Do not place electronic equipment near your computer. The electromagnetic field of your computer may
cause a malfunction.
Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat from building up. Do not place your computer
on porous surfaces such as rugs or blankets, or near material such as curtains or draperies that may block
its ventilation slots. Always use the supplied VAIO desktop stand for the main unit.
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 occur.
Do not use cut or damaged connection cables.
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 one hour before turning on your computer. If any problems
occur, unplug your computer and contact VAIO-Link.
Make sure you disconnect the power cord before cleaning the computer.
As you may lose important data once your computer is damaged, you should back up your data regularly.
Restore the original application programs from the Product Recovery CD-ROM.
