Notes on Built-In Sensors
Before using built-in sensors, read the following precautions for correct use.
Notes on using the built-in accelerometer
If you change the computer screen orientation without exiting the running software, such
as video playback software, all unsaved data may be lost.
You cannot change the computer screen orientation while your VAIO computer is
connected to an external display. If you connect the computer to an external display
while using the computer in portrait orientation, the computer screen automatically
changes to landscape (horizontal) orientation.
The computer screen may become distorted if you change the computer screen
orientation while the screen saver is activated.
Some software does not support portrait orientation and not work correctly. In this case,
use your VAIO computer in landscape orientation.
Notes on using the built-in digital compass
The built-in digital compass works by detecting a magnetic direction. Do not rely solely
on the location information the built-in digital compass provides.
Especially at the following locations, the accuracy of the digital compass can be easily
affected by magnetic interference and it may not work correctly.
Inside an elevator or a room built with ferrous materials, such as iron frames or
reinforced concrete
Near a reinforced concrete structure, such as a footbridge or an airport or a train
station concourse
Near or inside a train or a car
Near a transformer on the ground or high-voltage power lines
Near a metallic product, such as a metal frame desk or metallic furniture
Near a material that has a high level of magnetic interference, such as a magnet, a
magnetic holder, or speakers
Adjusting the angle of the LCD screen may reduce the accuracy of the built-in digital
compass; however, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. If this occurs, you
need to calibrate the digital compass on VAIO Control Center.
Note on handling your VAIO computer
Do not hold the bottom of your VAIO computer for an extended period of time. Use of the
computer for an extended period of time will heat up the bottom of the computer, resulting in
low-temperature burns.
