Safety Information and Caution
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.
For the State of California, USA only
Perchlorate Material - special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate/
Perchlorate Material: Lithium battery contains perchlorate.
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 (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.
To prevent possible damage and risk of ignition to your computer during transportation, first
attach any supplied connector covers and slot protectors in their appropriate locations, and
secure the battery pack in the battery compartment.
Always keep the battery pack installed while the computer is in use.
Do not use or store your computer in a location subject to heat sources, such as radiators or
air ducts; direct sunlight; excessive dust; moisture or rain; mechanical vibration or shock;
strong magnets or speakers that are not magnetically shielded; excessively high and low
temperatures; and high humidity.
For information on how to replace the battery pack, refer to the Quick Start Guide that came
with your VAIO® computer.
Do not charge the battery pack in any way other than as described in the user guide or as
designated by Sony in writing.
Sony recommends using the genuine Sony battery pack and AC adapter that are provided
with this product. If either of these items needs to be replaced during the life of the product,
be sure to use a compatible genuine Sony battery pack or AC adapter. Information about
compatible models can be found at http://www.sony.net/.
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 with your VAIO® computer.
the disassembly, alteration of, or tampering with any Sony battery pack.

Do not use wireless functionality on hospital premises. Doing so may cause medical devices
to malfunction.
Check for and respect airline restrictions on use of wireless capabilities. If use of the wireless
function is prohibited on the airline, disable all wireless connections before boarding. Open
the charms by pointing to the top right corner of the screen, then move the pointer down and
select the Settings charm. Select the network icon and then turn on Airplane mode. If you
urgently need to disable the wireless function, turn off the computer.
The WIRELESS indicator light on your computer is on when Airplane mode is disabled. Even
if you disable all wireless connections with Airplane mode disabled, the WIRELESS indicator
light stays on.
If using wireless functionality near a pacemaker, make sure it is at least 8 inches / 20 cm away
from the pacemaker.
Sony is not responsible for any interference that you may experience or that may be caused
when operating this device.
Do not clean your computer with aerosol products (air dusters, aerosol sprays, etc.) that
contain flammable gas. Doing so may fill the inside of the computer with gas and if the
motors, the switch contacts, or other internal parts of the computer spark, the gas may ignite
and it could cause an explosion or fire.
On viewing 3D images (for 3D-capable models only)
Be sure to follow the instructions in the manuals that came with the 3D display you use when
viewing 3D images.
Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while
watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games. Sony recommends that all
viewers take regular breaks while watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D
games. The length and frequency of necessary breaks will vary from person to person. You
must decide what works best. If you experience any discomfort, you should stop watching the
3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor
if you believe necessary.
You should also see the instruction manual of any other device or software used with this
computer.
The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under development.
Consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to
watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should supervise young
children to ensure they follow the recommendations listed above.
