# Notes on Using the Power Source

Read the following precautions before plugging your VAIO computer into an AC power source.

- If you remove the battery pack while your VAIO computer is turned on or in Sleep mode, but the computer is disconnected from an AC power source, you may lose all unsaved data.

- If you leave your VAIO computer without connecting it to an AC power source for an extended period of time, turn off the computer.

## Notes on the AC adapter

- Use the AC adapter supplied with your VAIO computer or with genuine Sony products. Do not use any other AC adapter as it may cause a malfunction.

- Do not connect the AC adapter to a power conversion device such as a travel power converter. It may cause overheating or a malfunction.

- If the AC adapter cable becomes damaged or broken, do not use it.

- When using a port replicator (not supplied), be sure to use the specified AC adapter. Otherwise, any unsaved data will be lost.

## ﻿Notes on turning on your VAIO computer

- Because your VAIO computer contains magnetic components, keep magnetic storage media, such as floppy disks, away from the computer, as it may cause data corruption.

- Your VAIO computer will automatically enter Sleep mode (with the default settings) when you move magnetic devices closer to the computer. Keep magnetic devices away from the computer.
