PRECAUTIONS
On safety
• Operafe the unit oniy on 220V ac.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, turn the power
off and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before operat¬
ing it any further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an
extended period of time.
• Do not place or drop heavy objects on the power cord. Use of a
damaged cord is dangerous. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by
the plug—never pull the cord itself.
On installation
• The computer consists of high-precision electronic parts. Do not
drop it or bump it against other objects. Do not place it in a place
subject to vibration or on an unstable base.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as a radiator or an air
• duct, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, and/or
moisture.
• Do not place electronic equipment near the computer. It may mal¬
function if affected by an electromagnetic field.
• Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets) or near materials
(curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
• Use only the specified peripheral equipment; otherwise, trouble
may result. Before connecting peripheral equipment, be sure to
turn the power off or the internal 1C chip may be damaged.
• Keep the supplied personal data bank away from equipments with
magnets, such as speakers and amplifiers, because their magnets
could cause erasures of the personal data bank.
On cleaning
• Clean the cabinet and keyboard with a soft, dry cloth, or a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any
type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which might damage
the finish.
If trouble occurs, unplug the unit, and contact your designated Sony
dealer.
