VAIO Slimtop™ LCD Computer User Guide
| Plug all the power cords for your computer and its peripheral equipment into |
| the same AC supply line. AC derived from different supply lines may result |
| in voltage differences that can cause unstable operation or unwanted weak |
| currents at the time of connection. |
| Do not share the AC outlet with any other |
| such as copying machines or shredders. |
| You can purchase a power strip with a surge protector. This device prevents |
| damage to your computer caused by sudden power surges such as those that |
may occur during an electrical storm. | |
If you live in an area that experiences frequent power fluctuations, you may | |
| want to purchase a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). This device contains |
| both a surge protector and a battery backup. The surge protector prevents |
| damage to your computer caused by power surges. The battery backup |
| safeguards your data during a brief period of power loss. |
The power control button on the front panel does not turn off the system AC | |
power. To remove power from the system, you must shut down the computer | |
as described in the User Guide and then unplug the AC power cord from the | |
wall outlet or power strip. | |
Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. | |
Do not operate the system with the cover removed. Always reinstall the | |
cover before turning on the system. | |
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. | |
Unplug your computer from the wall outlet if you will not be using the | |
computer for a long time. | |
| Before touching anything inside the computer, turn the system off and let it |
| cool for ten minutes. This will ensure that the processor heat sink will not be |
hot. | |
| Do not attempt to open the power supply. There are no |
| in the power supply. To avoid personal injury or damage to your equipment, |
| refer the repair or replacement of the power supply to qualified personnel |
| only. |
