Notes on using the built-in digital compass
❑
The digital compass on the desktop displays the direction in which you are currently facing by detecting ambient
geomagnetism. Because geomagnetism is affected by ambient environment, the digital compass may not display the
correct direction at the following locations:
❑
Inside an elevator or a room surrounded by ferroconcrete or steel-frame walls
❑
Locations surrounded by ferroconcrete structures, such as a footbridge or a concourse
❑
Locations near or inside a train or a car
❑
Locations near a transformer on the ground or high-voltage power lines
❑
Locations near metallic products, such as a metallic desk or metallic furniture
❑
Locations near magnets or magnetized products, such as speakers
❑
A direction displayed by the digital compass on the desktop may change after you adjust the viewing angle of the
computer screen. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. In such a case, calibrate the digital compass with
the
VAIO Control Center .
Notes on holding on your computer
❑
Be sure to use the supplied hand strap whenever you operate the computer while holding it in both hands to prevent
accidental dropping of the computer. For information on how to attach the hand strap to the computer, see
Attaching the
Hand Strap (page 19) .
❑
Do not wear the hand strap around your neck.
❑
Do not grasp the hand strap to carry your computer around as it may cause the computer to hit against surrounding
objects, resulting in damage to the computer.
❑
Do not hold the bottom of your computer for an extended period of time, as it may cause low-temperature burns.
