Notes on Use

On Moisture Condensation

If your computer is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside your computer. In this case, allow at least an hour before turning on your computer. If any problem occurs, unplug your computer, and contact your Sony Service Center.

On Upgrading the System

❑The procedures described in the online manual, “Upgrading and Maintaining Your Slimtop™ LCD Computer” assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.

❑Disconnect the system from its power source and from any networks, modems, or telecommunications links before you open the system or follow any of the procedures described in the online manual, “Upgrading and Maintaining Your Slimtop™ LCD Computer” . Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage.

❑Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in cards, and other components. Follow the procedures described in the online manual, “Upgrading and Maintaining Your Slimtop™ LCD Computer” , only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example). Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while performing the procedure.

❑When removing a slot cover, be careful not to damage components on the system board or add-in cards. You may need to temporarily remove add-in cards that are next to the slot cover you want to remove.

On Handling the Sony Pen Tablet

❑Do not leave the Sony Pen Tablet directly facing the sun for a long period of time as it can damage the LCD screen.

❑Do not scratch the LCD screen or exert pressure on it. This may cause damage to the screen or cause a malfunction.
