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, turn off the computer or place it into Sleep mode. If the computer is
equipped with the power indicator, make sure 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.
• 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.
• VAIO recommends using the genuine VAIO 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

• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications

to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• Only peripherals (computer input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) that comply with FCC Class B limits
may be attached to this computer product. Operation with noncompliant peripherals is likely to result in
interference to radio and television reception.
• All cables used to connect peripherals must be shielded and grounded. Operation with cables connected to
peripherals that are not shielded and grounded may result in interference to radio and television reception.
• The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low
power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have
not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines.
• For supplied wireless keyboard
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets
the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that are
deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption rate (SAR).
