Be careful when using your computer near a window. Do not scratch the surface of the LCD screen or exert pressure on it. Using your computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the LCD screen. When the computer returns to normal temperature, the screen returns to normal. A residual image may appear on the LCD screen if the same image is displayed for a long period of time. The residual image disappears in a while. You can use a screen saver to prevent residual images. The LCD screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. Do not place your computer on porous surfaces such as rugs or blankets, or near material such as curtains or draperies that may block its air vents. Your computer uses high-frequency radio signals and may cause interference to radio or TV reception. If this occurs, relocate the computer a suitable distance away from the set. n 116 N Precautions Use only specified peripheral equipment and interface cables; otherwise, problems may occur. Do not use cut or damaged connection cables. If your computer is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside the computer. In this case, allow at least one hour before turning on the computer. If any problems occur, unplug the computer and contact an authorized Sony Service Center. To find the nearest center or agent, see Sony Support Information (page 174). Make sure you disconnect the power cord before cleaning your computer. To avoid losing data if your computer is damaged, back up your data regularly. Do not exert pressure on the LCD screen or its edges when opening the LCD screen lid or lifting your computer.
