About Handling The Computer System
The computer uses high-frequency radio signals and may cause interference to radio or TV reception. If this occurs,
relocate the computer a suitable distance away from the television or radio equipment.
 Do not place your Sony computer in a location subject to:
 Heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts
 Direct sunlight
 Excessive dust
 Mechanical vibration or shock
 Strong magnets or speakers that are not magnetically shielded
 Ambient temperature of more than 95ºF (35ºC) or less than 50ºF (10ºC)
 High humidity, moisture, or rain
 Do not place electronic equipment near your computer. The computer's electromagnetic field may cause a
malfunction.
 Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place your computer on loose 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 from the back panel of your computer.
 Clean the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine, as it may damage the finish of
your Sony computer.
 Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, keyboard, or mouse, shut down your computer and then
unplug it. You may want to have the computer checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
 Use only specified peripheral equipment and interface cables; otherwise, problems may result.
 Do not use cut or damaged connection cables.
 Always switch the power off before connecting your computer to peripheral equipment; otherwise, damage may
occur to the integrated circuits in your computer.
 Your computer, keyboard, and mouse consist of high-precision electronic parts. Do not drop them or bump them
against other objects.
 Your Sony computer will not work with party lines, cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not
work with multiple telephone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX).
 If the telephone company makes a service call to your home or office and determines that your computer is
responsible for the problem, the telephone company may bill you for the service call. If you do not disconnect your
computer when it is adversely affecting the telephone line, the telephone company has the right to disconnect your
service until you correct the problem.
Moisture condensation
If your computer is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside your computer. In
this case, allow at least an hour before turning on your computer. If any problem occurs, unplug your computer, and contact
your Sony Service Center.
The hard disk drive
 Do not place the computer in a location that is subject to vibration or shock.
 Do not move the computer during operation.
 Do not subject the computer to sudden changes in temperature.
 Do not turn off the power while the computer is accessing the hard disk drive.
