Notes on Use

Cover

Close the SD memory card slot cover securely.

Do not open/close the Multi Port cover when using the tablet outdoors or with wet, sweaty, or sand-covered hands. Getting water or sand inside the tablet may cause malfunctions.

Keep the Multi Port cover out of reach of small children to prevent it from being accidentally swallowed.

The tablet has a splash-proof feature*1 equivalent to IPX4 (Protected against water splashing from any direction) of IEC 60529 (Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP code)) but is not completely waterproof. Do not use the tablet in water or splash a lot of water on the tablet. If used improperly, water may get inside the tablet and cause fire, electric shock or malfunctions [Details].

*1 The splash-proof feature applies to pure water and tap water. The splash-proof feature works with your tablet on a stand, such as Sony Tablet Stand (SGPDS4, sold separately, not available in some countries/regions) and with all covers closed completely.

Caring for your tablet

Clean the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth or one slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a detergent solution for cleaning the touch screen. Do not use an abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine, as these may damage the finish of your tablet.

If your tablet is exposed to moisture such as rain or extreme humidity, wipe your tablet with a soft dry cloth. Do not dry with an oven or dryer.

Clean the lens of the built-in camera with a blower brush or a soft brush. If the lens is extremely dirty, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth. Do not rub the lens, as it is sensitive to pressure.

Usage environment

Do not use or leave the tablet where the temperature is extremely high (about 35 °C or higher) or low (about 5 °C or lower), or in a humid place such as a bathroom or sauna. If you use or leave the tablet out of the range stated, the tablet may stop automatically to protect the internal circuitry.

Do not take your tablet directly from a cold place to a warm place. A sudden change of the temperature causes moisture condensation, and moisture may condense inside the tablet. If this happens, leave the tablet at room temperature until it dries before using.

Sample data

Sample data is installed on your tablet at the factory for a trial of music, videos, photos, and books. Once you delete the sample data, you cannot restore it. Please note that Sony will not provide replacement sample data if deleted.
