
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 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® computer.
 Do not charge the battery pack in any way other than as described in the user guide or as designated by
Sony in writing.
 For your safety, Sony recommends using the genuine Sony battery pack and AC adapter that are provided
with this product. If either of these items needs to be replaced during the life of the product, be sure to use a
compatible genuine Sony battery pack or AC adapter. Information about compatible models can be found at

 Sony disclaims and shall assume no responsibility in case of any losses and damages arising from:
 the use of non-genuine Sony battery packs or AC adapters with your VAIO® computer.
 the disassembly, alteration of, or tampering with any Sony battery pack.
 Do not use wireless functionality on hospital premises. Doing so may cause medical devices to malfunction.
 Check for and respect airline restrictions on use of wireless capabilities. If use of the wireless function is
prohibited on the airline, turn off the WIRELESS switch on your computer before boarding.
