Ergonomic considerations  
You will be using your notebook as a portable device in a variety of environments. Whenever possible, you  
should attempt to take account of the following ergonomic considerations to both stationary and portable  
environments:  
Position of your computer Place the computer directly in front of you (1). Keep your forearms  
horizontal (2), with your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position (3) while using the keyboard,  
touchpad, or external mouse. Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides. Have breaks during  
sessions with your computer. Excessive use of the computer may strain muscles or tendons.  
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 computers display Use the displays tilting feature to find the best position.  
You can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue by adjusting the tilt of the display to the proper position.  
Adjust the brightness setting of the display as well.  
Lighting Choose a location where windows and lights do not create glare and reflection on the  
display. Use indirect lighting to avoid bright spots on the display. You can also purchase accessories for  
your display that help reduce glare. Proper lighting adds to your comfort and work effectiveness.  
Placement of an external display When using an external display, set the display at a comfortable  
viewing distance. Make sure the display screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you are sitting in  
front of the monitor.

Precautions  
This section describes safety guidelines and precautions to help you protect your computer from potential  
damage.  
Your notebook and memory modules use high precision components and electronic connectors technology.  
To avoid the invalidation of your guarantee by mishandling, it is recommended that:  
You contact your dealer to install a new memory module.  
You do not install it yourself, if you are not familiar with upgrading memory on a notebook.  
You do not touch the connectors or open the memory panel.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage memory modules and other components. Install the memory  
Module only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and  
do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example).  
Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while  
performing the procedure.  
Do not open the memory module package until you are ready to install the module. The package  
protects the module from ESD.  
!
!
Use the special bag delivered with the memory module or wrap the module in aluminium foil to protect it from electrostatic discharge.  
Do not place the memory module in places subject to:  
- Heat sources such as radiators or air ducts,  
- Direct sunlight,

Other precautions  
On handling the LCD screen  
Do not leave the LCD facing the sun as it can damage the LCD. Be careful when using the computer near  
a window.  
Do not scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. This could cause malfunction.  
Using the computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the screen. This is  
not a malfunction. When the computer returns to normal temperature, the screen returns to normal.  
A residual image may appear on the screen if the same image is displayed for a lengthy period of time.  
The residual image disappears in a while. You can use a screensaver to prevent residual images.  
The screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.  
The LCD is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/  
or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the LCD. This is a normal result of the  
manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.  
Avoid rubbing the LCD screen, as this can damage the screen. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the LCD  
screen.  
On using power source  
Your computer operates on 100V-240V AC 50/60 Hz.  
Do not share the AC outlet with other power-consuming equipment, such as a photocopier or shredder.  
You can purchase a power strip with a surge protector. This device prevents damage to your computer  
caused by sudden power surges such as those that may occur during an electrical storm.  
Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.  
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Unplug your computer from the wall outlet, if you will not be using the computer for a long time.  
When the AC adapter is not used, unplug it from the AC outlet.  
Use only the supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.

Precautions  
n N  
78  
Do not use cut or damaged connection cables.  
Your computer cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not work with a private  
branch exchange (PBX).  
If the computer is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside  
your computer. In this case, allow at least one hour before turning on your computer. If any problem  
occurs, unplug your computer and contact VAIO-Link.  
Make sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the computer.  
On handling diskettes  
Do not open the shutter manually and touch the surface of the diskette.  
Keep diskettes away from magnets.  
Keep diskettes away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.  
On handling CD-ROM disks  
Do not touch the surface of the disk.  
Do not drop or bend the disk.  
Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disk may cause read errors. Proper care of the disk is essential  
to maintain its reliability. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners  
or anti-static spray, as they may cause damage to the disk.  
For normal cleaning, hold the disk by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the center  
out.  
If the disk is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the surface  
of the disk from the center out. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.

Precautions  
n N  
79  
On using the battery pack  
Never leave the battery pack in temperatures above 60° C, such as in a car parked in the sun or under  
direct sunlight.  
Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased battery efficiency at low  
temperatures.  
Charge the batteries at temperatures between 10° C to 30° C. Lower temperatures require a longer  
charging time.  
While the battery is in use or being discharged, the battery pack heats up. This is normal and is not cause  
for concern.  
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.  
If you are not using the computer for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack from the  
computer to prevent damage to the battery.  
If, after fully charging the battery pack, the battery power is still low, the battery pack may be reaching  
the end of its life and should be replaced.  
You do not need to discharge the battery before recharging.  
If you have not used the battery pack for a considerable amount of time, recharge the battery.  
On using earphones  
Road safety Do not use earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may  
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play loud music  
while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings.
