setting of the display. Following these suggestions can reduce eye strain and
muscle fatigue.
❑
Lighting —
Choose a location where windows and lights do not create glare
and reflection on the display. Use indirect lighting to avoid bright spots on
the display. You can also purchase accessories for your display that help
reduce glare. Proper lighting adds to your comfort and work effectiveness.
❑
Placement of an external display —
When using an external display, set
the display at a comfortable viewing distance. Make sure the display screen
is at eye level or slightly lower when you are sitting in front of the monitor.
Notes on Setup
❑
Do not place your notebook 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 95º F (35º C) or less than 40º F
(5º C)
❑
High humidity
❑
Do not place electronic equipment near your notebook. The notebook’s
electromagnetic field may cause a malfunction.
❑
Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup. Do not
place your notebook on porous surfaces such as rugs or blankets, or near
materials such as curtains or draperies that may block its ventilation slots.
Leave a space of at least 8 inches (20 cm) behind the back panel of the
notebook.
❑
If the notebook is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one,
moisture may condense inside your notebook. In this case, allow at least an
hour before turning on your notebook. If any problems occur, unplug your
notebook, and contact your Sony Service Center.
❑
The notebook uses high-frequency radio signals and may cause interference
to radio or TV reception. Should this occur, relocate the notebook a suitable
distance away from the set.
