❑
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose your computer to rain or moisture.
❑
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
❑
Turning off your computer with the power button or the power switch does not disconnect the computer
completely from mains voltage. To disconnect it completely, unplug the AC adapter or the power cable from
mains. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
❑
Do not use your computer directly on your lap. The temperature of the base of the unit will rise during normal
operation and over time could result in discomfort or burns.
❑
Do not place the AC adapter in contact with your skin. Remove the AC adapter away from your body if it
becomes warm and causes discomfort.
❑
Do not block the air exhaust or intake vents while the computer is in operation.
❑
Blocking the air vents leads to restriction on air circulation, which can cause internal overheating, resulting in
deformation of the computer, a malfunction, or a fire hazard.
❑
Observe the following precautions to provide adequate air circulation and to ensure normal reliable operation:
❑
Do not use the computer on any cloth-covered surfaces such as rugs, cushion or blankets, near
draperies, or on dusty surfaces that may block its air vents. Always use the computer on flat surfaces.
❑
Do not use the computer and/or the AC adapter while covered or wrapped in cloth. Ensure the AC
adapter operates in a clear environment.
❑
Turn off the computer and make sure the power indicator light is unlit before putting the computer into
a bag or a carrying case.
❑
When holding the computer, be sure to wait until it cools down. The surface around the air exhaust vent may
be extremely hot.
❑
To prevent possible damage and risk of ignition to your computer during transportation, first attach any
supplied connector covers and slot protectors in their appropriate locations, and secure the battery pack in the
battery compartment.
❑
Do not use or store 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; excessively high and low temperatures; and high humidity.
❑
For information on how to replace the battery pack, refer to the
Quick Start Guide
that came with your
VAIO
®

❑
Do not charge the battery pack in any way other than as described in the user guide or as designated by Sony
