Safety Information

Computer

• If you drop a solid object or any liquid onto your VAIO computer, shut down the computer, unplug it, and remove the battery pack if it is removable. You may want to have the computer checked by qualified personnel before operating it again.

• Use only specified peripheral equipment and interface cables.

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

• The temperature of the surface and the bottom of your VAIO computer, the AC adapter, and the battery may rise due to the CPU load or an electric current generated while the battery is being charged. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. The amount of heat generation varies depending on external devices or apps in use.

• If your VAIO computer or the AC adapter becomes extraordinarily hot, turn off the computer, unplug the AC adapter, remove the battery pack if it is removable, and then contact an authorized Sony service/support center.

Power source

• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, or this could cause a fire.

• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by holding the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Do not use cut or damaged connection cables.

• Unplug your VAIO computer from the AC outlet if you are not planning to use the computer for an extended period of time.

• If you are not using your VAIO computer for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack from the computer to prevent damage to the battery pack.

Headphones

• 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.

• 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.
