❑

Sony disclaims and shall assume no responsibility in case of any losses or damages arising from:

❑

The use of non-genuine Sony battery packs or AC adapters with your VAIO computer.

❑

The disassembly, alteration of, or tampering of any Sony battery pack.

❑

Keep the battery pack away from all sources of heat.

❑

Keep the battery pack dry.

❑

Do not open or try to disassemble the battery pack.

❑

Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock, such as caused by dropping it on a hard surface.

❑

If you are not using your computer for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack from the computer to prevent
damage to the battery pack.

❑

If you have not used the battery pack for a considerable amount of time, the remaining battery life may become short.
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. The battery pack will gradually discharge over time even while not in
