Ergonomic Considerations
You will be using your computer 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:
8
nN
Before Use
❑ 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, touch pad, 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 computer's display – Use the display's 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.
nN
Before Use
❑ 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.
❑ Positioning 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.

Connecting a Power Source
17
nN
You can use either an AC adapter or a rechargeable battery pack as a power source for your computer.
18
nN
Getting Started
Using the AC Adapter
✍
Use your computer only with the supplied AC adapter.
To use the AC adapter
1 Plug one end of the power cord (1) into the AC adapter (3).
2 Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet (2).
3 Plug the cable attached to the AC adapter (3) into the DC IN port (4) on the computer or on the (optional) port replicator.
!
The shape of the DC In plug varies depending on the AC adapter.
✍
To disconnect your computer completely from AC power, unplug the AC adapter.
Make sure that the AC outlet is easily accessible.
If you do not use your computer for a long period of time, place the computer into Hibernate mode. See Using Hibernate Mode (page 104). This power
saving mode saves the time of shutting down or resuming.
Using the Battery Pack
The battery pack supplied with your computer is not fully charged at the time of purchase.
Installing the Battery Pack
To install the battery pack
1 Turn off the computer and close the LCD screen lid.
2 Slide the battery pack into the battery compartment until it clicks into place.
✍
When your computer is directly connected to AC power and has a battery pack installed, it uses power from the AC outlet.
!
This computer is designed to operate only with genuine Sony batteries.
Charging the Battery Pack
19
nN
Getting Started
The battery pack supplied with your computer is not fully charged at the time of purchase.
To charge the battery pack
1 Install the battery pack.
2 Connect the AC adapter to the computer.
The computer automatically charges the battery pack (the battery indicator light flashes in a double blink pattern as the
battery pack charges). When the battery pack is about 85% charged, the battery indicator turns off.
20
nN
Getting Started
Battery indicator light status Meaning
On The computer is using battery power.
Blinks The battery pack is running out of power.
Double blinks The battery pack is charging.
Off The computer is using AC power.
✍
When the battery pack is running out of power, both the battery and power indicator lights blink.
Keep the battery pack in your computer while it is directly connected to AC power. The battery pack continues to charge while you are using the
computer.
If the battery level falls below 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery pack or shut down your computer and install a fully
charged battery pack.
The battery pack supplied with your computer is a lithium ion battery pack and can be recharged any time. Charging a partially discharged battery pack
does not affect battery life.
The battery indicator light is on while you use the battery pack as a power source. When battery life is nearly depleted, both the battery and power
indicator lights start flashing.
For some software applications and some peripheral devices, your computer may not enter Hibernate mode even when battery life is low. To avoid loss
of data when using battery power, you should save your data frequently and manually activate a power management mode, such as Standby or
Hibernate. If the battery pack wears out when the computer enters Standby mode, you will lose any unsaved data. Going back to the previous work
state is impossible. To avoid loss of data, you should save your data frequently.
When your computer is directly connected to AC power and has a battery pack installed, it uses power from the AC outlet.
Getting Started
Removing the Battery Pack
!
You may lose data if you remove the battery pack while your computer is on and not connected to the AC adapter or if you remove the battery pack
while the computer is in Standby mode.
To remove the battery pack
1 Turn off the computer and close the LCD screen lid.
2 Slide and hold the battery release latch (1) and slide the battery pack away from the computer.
✍
If the battery pack is stuck by the side spring locks, release one lock and then the other to remove the battery pack.
Shutting Down Your Computer Safely
21
nN
To avoid losing unsaved data, be sure to shut down your computer properly, as described below.

22
nN
Getting Started
2 Click Start and then Turn Off Computer.
The Turn off computer window appears.
3 Click Turn Off.
4 Respond to any prompts warning you to save documents or to consider other users and wait for the computer to turn off

Changes the screen resolution to magnify/restore your computer's screen view.
✍
The magnified view is not as clear as the standard view, as it is implemented by applying a lower resolution
to the computer screen with a higher resolution.
This key combination may not work with graphic images as it magnifies the screen view by changing the
resolution.
The location and size of software windows may change when the screen view is magnified or the standard
view is restored because pressing this key combination changes the resolution.
When your computer's screen view is magnified, switching the view to the external display disables the
function and restores the standard view.
Provides for the lowest level of power consumption. When you execute this command, the
states of the system and the peripheral devices are written to the hard disk and the system
power is turned off. To return the system to its original state, use the power button to turn on the
power.

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc Digital Audio standard specifications (CD Standard). A DualDisc is a two
sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. Please be aware that the audio side
(non-DVD side) of a DualDisc may not play on this product because it does not conform to the CD Standard.
!
Due to the multiple formats of discs now available, when buying pre-recorded or blank discs for use with a VAIO computer, be sure to read the notices
on the disc packaging carefully to check both playback and recording compatibility with your computer's optical disc drives. Sony does NOT guarantee
the compatibility of VAIO CD drives with discs that are not compliant with the official "CD" format standard (or "DVD" standard in relation to DVD drives).
USING NON-COMPLIANT DISCS CAN CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE TO YOUR VAIO PC OR CREATE SOFTWARE CONFLICTS AND CAUSE SYSTEM HANGING.
For inquiries about disc formats, contact the individual publisher of the pre-recorded disc or the manufacturer of the recordable disc.
✍
8cm disc writing is not supported.
Notes on writing data to a disc
❑ To make data on a disc readable on the optical disc drive, you need to close the session before you eject it. To complete
this process, follow the instructions included with your software.
❑ Only use circular discs. Do not use discs in any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage the optical disc
drive.
