Precautions
❑
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,
❑
Ambient temperature of more than 35ºC or less than 5ºC,
❑
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.
❑
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. You can restore most
of the original application programs from the supplied disc (read the
Troubleshooting Guide
for details).
