❑ Use your computer on a solid, stable surface.

❑ It is recommended that you do not use your computer directly on your lap. The temperature of the base of the unit may rise during normal operation and over time could result in discomfort or burns.

❑ Keep small parts such as "Memory Stick" and "Memory Stick" adaptors out of reach of children. There is a risk of swallowing them.

Battery Pack

❑ Do not leave battery packs in temperatures above 60°C, such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight.

❑ For your safety, it is highly recommended that you use genuine Sony rechargeable battery packs and AC adapters that meet the quality assurance standard, supplied by Sony for your VAIO computer. Some VAIO computers may only function with a genuine 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 use. Connect the AC adapter to your computer and recharge the battery pack before using the computer again.

Headphones

❑ Road safety – Do not use headphones 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.

❑ Preventing hearing damage – Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
