Turning On Your Computer

To use your computer immediately, use the supplied AC adapter as a power source. Your supplied battery is not charged when you unpack it; however, you can begin charging it when you use your AC adapter. See “Powering Your Computer” in your on-screen VAIO® Computer User Guide for more information about using batteries. See also “Locating Your VAIO Computer User Guide” on page 38.

✍This computer is designed to operate only with genuine Sony batteries.

✍If a port replicator is attached to your computer, do not insert or remove the battery. Lifting and turning the computer with a port replicator attached could cause a temporary loss of power.
