VAIO Digital Studio Computer User Guide
Your computer, keyboard, and mouse consist of high-precision
electronic parts. Do not drop them or bump them against other
objects.
Your Sony computer will not work with party lines, cannot be
connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not work with
multiple phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX).
If the telephone company makes a service call to your home or
office and determines that your computer is responsible for the
problem, the telephone company may bill you for the service call.
Also, if you do not disconnect your computer when it is adversely
affecting the telephone line, the telephone company has the right to
disconnect your service until you correct the problem.

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 "Upgrading and Maintaining Your
VAIO Digital Studio Computer" chapter of the online manual 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
telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the
system or do any of the procedures described in the "Upgrading and
Maintaining Your VAIO Digital Studio Computer" chapter of the
online manual. 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. Do the procedures described in the
"Upgrading and Maintaining Your VAIO Digital Studio Computer"
chapter of the online manual 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.
