Getting Started
This section helps you get your computer running and registered, so you
can take advantage of Sony’s many support options. You’ll also learn how
to locate your on-screen VAIO® Computer User Guide, which contains
step-by-step instructions for operating your computer.
Turning On Your Computer
To use your computer immediately, use the supplied AC adapter as a power
source. Your supplied battery is not charged when you unpack it; however, you
can begin charging it when you use your AC adapter. See “Powering Your
Computer” in your on-screen VAIO® Computer User Guide for more
information about using batteries. See also “Locating Your VAIO Computer User
Guide” on page 38.
To insert and charge the battery
1 First turn the computer over so the bottom panel is facing up.
2 Slide the LOCK/UNLOCK switch to UNLOCK, and then slide the
RELEASE switch in the direction of the arrow to lift the battery bay cover.
✍ This computer is designed to operate only with genuine Sony batteries.
✍ If a port replicator is attached to your computer, do not insert or remove the battery.
Lifting and turning the computer with a port replicator attached could cause a
temporary loss of power.
