Heat sources, such as residential heating equipment
Excessive dust
High humidity
Poor ventilation
Note
The area around the air exhaust vent may become extremely hot while your VAIO computer
is on. Be careful before touching the area.
Do not place any object near the air exhaust vent that may block the vent.
Hint
Your VAIO computer uses high-frequency radio signals and may cause interference to radio
or TV reception. If this occurs, move the computer a suitable distance away from the radio or
TV.
Ergonomic considerations
Whenever possible, you should attempt to take account of the following ergonomic
considerations.
Furniture and posture
Sit in a chair with good back support. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the
floor. A footrest may make you more comfortable.
Sit in a relaxed, upright posture and avoid slouching forward or leaning far backwards.
Viewing angle of the computer screen
Use the screen tilting feature to find the best position. Make sure the computer screen is at or
slightly below eye level when you are sitting in front of your VAIO computer. Adjust the
brightness level of the display as well.
You can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue by adjusting the tilt and brightness level of the
computer screen to the proper position.
Lighting
Choose a location where windows and lights do not cause glare and reflection on the computer
screen. Use indirect lighting to avoid bright spots on the computer screen. Proper lighting adds
to your comfort and work efficiency.
Note
While adjusting the viewing angle, do not exert excessive pressure on your VAIO computer
to eliminate a risk of mechanical damage.
Hint
The same considerations apply when you use an external display.
