Warranty Information
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.
For questions regarding your product or for the Sony Service Center nearest you, visit the Sony online support web site at http://esupport.sony.com/US/VAIO/ for customers in USA or at http://www.sony.ca/support/ for customers in Canada.
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 U (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.
Before putting your computer in a bag, make sure the computer is turned off or is in Sleep mode, and the power indicator light is off.
When holding the computer, be sure to wait until it cools down. The surface around the air exhaust vent may be extremely hot.
