Notes on Charging

Charging the battery

For your safety, use only the supplied AC power cord (mains lead) to charge the battery.

Performance and safety are not guaranteed if you charge using an AC adapter other than the

AC adapter designed for the tablet device.

Depending on the ambient temperature or how you use your tablet device, the battery may not

be charged or it may take a long time to charge the battery.

Do not charge the battery near fire or in direct sunlight.

The tablet device is not fully charged when shipped.

Heat builds up in the battery while it is in use or being charged. This is normal and is not cause

of concern. If your tablet device or the AC adapter becomes abnormally hot, shut down your

tablet device and unplug the AC power cord (mains lead) from the AC adapter.

Battery discharge

After charging, the battery gradually loses its charge even if it is not used. If it is left unused for

a long time, the battery charge may be depleted. We recommend recharging the battery before

use.

If you do not use your tablet device for an extended period of time, fully charge the battery

every six months.

Battery life

Battery life varies depending on usage, settings, and temperatures.

Battery deterioration

Battery capacity gradually declines through repeated recharging and discharging. As a result,

the battery life may become short or the battery may not perform optimally even when fully

charged.

Notes on Using the AC Adapter

Use the AC adapter supplied with your tablet device or a genuine Sony AC adapter. Do not use

any other AC adapter as it may cause malfunctions.

Do not connect the AC adapter to a power conversion device such as a travel power converter.

Doing so may cause overheating or a malfunction.

Cease using the AC adapter cable if it becomes damaged.

Use the AC adapter supplied with your tablet device when using a designated Sony cradle

(SGPDS1, sold separately) for your tablet device.

Notes on the Screen

Notes on the touch screen

Your tablet device uses a capacitive touch screen. Tap the screen directly with your fingertip.

Do not scratch it or tap it with a sharp object such as a needle, pen, or fingernails. You cannot

operate the touch screen with a stylus.

If you tap the touch screen with gloved fingers, the touch screen may operate incorrectly or may

not operate at all.

Do not operate your tablet device with objects on the touch screen.

If the touch screen is touched by anything other than your fingertip, it may not react correctly.

Do not put the touch screen close to other electrical devices. Electrostatic discharges may

cause the touch screen to malfunction.

If there are water droplets on the touch screen, or if you touch it with wet fingertips, the touch

screen may not react correctly.

Do not put the touch screen in humid places. The touch screen may malfunction in humid

conditions or when exposed to water.

Notes on the LCD screen

Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun. Be sure to block direct sunlight when using your

tablet device near a window.

Using your tablet device in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the

LCD screen. This does not indicate a malfunction. The screen will return to normal when the

tablet device returns to normal temperature.

The LCD screen may become warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate a

malfunction.

The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny

black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) on the LCD screen. This is a normal result

of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.

The LCD screen is made of glass. If the glass is damaged (cracked, etc.), do not touch the

touch screen or try to repair it yourself. Handle the LCD screen carefully as it is vulnerable to

damage from dropping or mechanical shock. We cannot provide warranty for any damages

caused by customers due to incorrect handling.

signals from GPS satellites. You can see the location where you are with your tablet device by

using an app that supports the GPS function.

Note

The GPS antenna is built in to your tablet device. If you cover the antenna with your hands or

other objects while using the GPS function, the positioning accuracy may deteriorate.

Notes on Use

Cover

Close the SD memory card slot cover securely.

Caring for your tablet device

Clean the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth or one slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

Do not use a detergent solution for cleaning the touch screen. Do not use an abrasive pad,

scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine, as these may damage the finish of

your tablet device.

If your tablet device is exposed to moisture such as rain or extreme humidity, wipe your tablet

device with a soft dry cloth. Do not dry with an oven or dryer.

Clean the lens of the built-in camera with a blower brush or a soft brush. If the lens is extremely

dirty, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth. Do not rub the lens, as it is sensitive to pressure.

Usage environment

Do not use or leave the tablet device where the temperature is extremely high (about 35 °C (95

°F) or higher) or low (about 5 °C (41 °F) or lower), or in a humid place such as a bathroom or

sauna. If you use or leave the tablet device out of the range stated, the tablet device may stop

automatically to protect the internal circuitry.

Do not take your tablet device directly from a cold place to a warm place. A sudden change of

the temperature causes moisture condensation, and moisture may condense inside the tablet

device. If this happens, leave the tablet device at room temperature until it dries before using.

Sample data

Sample data is installed on your tablet device at the factory for a trial of music, videos, photos,

and books. Once you delete the sample data, you cannot restore it. Please note that Sony will

not provide replacement sample data if deleted.

Notes on Using the Wi-Fi Function

Use of Wi-Fi devices may be restricted by local regulations in some countries or regions.

Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is used by a variety of devices. Wi-Fi devices

therefore use technology to minimize radio interference from other devices that use the same

band. However, radio interference may still cause slower data transfer speeds, reduce

communications range or cause communications failure.

If both the Bluetooth function and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi function of your tablet device are enabled,

interference may occur and cause slower data transfer speeds or other problems.

To communicate via Wi-Fi while traveling, you may need to contract with a Wi-Fi connection

service provider.

Data transfer speed and communications range may vary depending on the following

conditions:

Distance between devices

Presence of obstacles between devices

Device configuration

Signal conditions

Surrounding environment (wall material, etc.)

Software in use

Communications failure may occur in some signal conditions.

The data transfer rate noted in the specifications is the theoretical maximum, and it may not

reflect actual data transfer rate.

Actual data transfer speed may not be as fast as the speed displayed on your tablet device.

Communications is not available between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands.

The data transfer rate for IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz) devices may be affected

by interference when those protocols are used with IEEE 802.11b products. Also, products

using IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n automatically lower the transfer rate to maintain

compatibility with IEEE 802.11b products.

When the data transfer speed is not as fast as expected, changing the wireless channel on the

Wi-Fi router may increase the speed.

Notes on Using the Bluetooth Function

Use of Bluetooth function may be restricted by local regulations in some countries or regions.

The Bluetooth function may not work with some devices, depending on the manufacturer or the

software version employed by the manufacturer. Check the system requirements of the

Bluetooth device before purchasing.

Some Bluetooth devices require authentication (pairing) before establishing a connection with

another device. Perform the authentication process before connecting to such a device.

Bluetooth devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is used by a variety of devices. Bluetooth

devices use technology to minimize radio interference from other devices that use the same

band. However, radio interference may still cause slower data transfer speeds, reduce

communications range or cause communications failure.

Data transfer speed and communications range may vary depending on the following

conditions:

Distance between communicating devices

Presence of obstacles between devices

Surrounding environment (wall material, etc.)

Device configuration

Software in use

Signal conditions

Communications failure may occur in some signal conditions.

Interference may occur if both the Bluetooth function and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi function are

enabled. That will result in slower data transfer speeds or other problems.

Large files may occasionally be corrupted during continuous transfer due to limitations of the

Bluetooth standard and due to signal conditions.

Connecting multiple Bluetooth devices to your tablet device may cause channel congestion,

resulting in poor device performance. This is normal with Bluetooth technology and does not

indicate a malfunction.

Video and audio may not be synchronized if you play videos on your tablet device with audio

output from a connected Bluetooth device. This is a frequent occurrence with Bluetooth

technology and does not indicate a malfunction.

All Bluetooth devices must be certified through procedures stipulated by Bluetooth SIG to

ensure that they comply with the Bluetooth standard. Even if the Bluetooth standard is complied

with, operation procedures may differ or you may not be able to transfer data depending on

characteristics and specifications of the individual device.

Output sound may not be switched between a Bluetooth audio device and the built-in speaker

when you connect or disconnect the device while an app such as game is running. If that

occurs, exit the app and restart the device. You can avoid this problem by switching the sound

before starting the app.

Sound of apps such as games may be delayed when heard from Bluetooth audio devices

connected to your tablet device. If that occurs, output sound from the built-in speaker or

connect an audio device to the headphone jack of your tablet device to hear the sound.

If you turn off a Bluetooth audio device connected to your tablet device while an app such as a

game is running, the app may no longer work properly. If that occurs, exit the app and restart

your tablet device.

Bluetooth security

Bluetooth wireless technology has an authentication function that allows you to determine with

whom you choose to communicate. With the authentication function, you can prevent any

anonymous Bluetooth devices from accessing your tablet device. The first time two Bluetooth

devices communicate, a common passkey (a password required for authentication) should be

determined for both devices to be registered. Once a device is registered, there is no need to re-

enter the passkey.

Your tablet device will be detected by other Bluetooth devices only when it is set to allow detection

by such devices. You can set how long your tablet device is detectable or whether or not to allow

reception after a connection is established.

Compatibility of SD Memory Cards

SD memory cards (up to 2 GB) and SDHC memory cards (up to 32 GB) available as of September

2011 have been tested and found compatible with your tablet device. However, this does not

guarantee that all SD memory cards or SDHC memory cards will be compatible with your tablet

device.

Notes on SD Memory Cards

Keep away from infants. SD memory cards are harmful if swallowed.

Do not touch the contacts with fingers or metal objects.

SD memory cards contain delicate electronic components. Do not subject them to excessive

force, bend or drop them.

Do not disassemble or modify.

Avoid moisture.

Do not use or store in the following locations:

Places with high temperature, such as inside a closed car in the sunshine

Places exposed to direct sunlight

Humid or corrosive environments

Excessively dusty places

Be sure to use SD memory cards that are compliant with the standards supported by your

tablet device. A card of the wrong size may become jammed in the slot, causing damage to

your tablet device.

You cannot write data to an SD memory card that is write-protected.

It is recommended that you make a backup copy of important data.

To avoid losing stored data, keep SD memory cards away from static electricity or electrical

noise that may interfere with the card.

When carrying SD memory cards, be sure to put them in their case to avoid static electricity

damage.

Before using an SD memory card with a device other than a tablet device, such as a digital

camera or a portable audio player, format (initialize) the SD memory card using that device.

Some devices may not support the file format for tablet devices and show you a message that

recommends you to format the card. If you encounter such a message, copy data from the card

to your tablet device (or to other devices via the network) and format the card using a device

other than the tablet. Note that formatting a card will delete all current data contained on it. For

more details, refer to the manual of the device you are using.

Do not insert foreign objects into the SD memory card slot.

The SD memory card slot can be used for reading/writing supported cards only, and it cannot

be used for other purposes.

Notes on GPS Function

Move your tablet device as little as possible in an area with a clear view of the sky until the

present location is displayed by the GPS function. The present location can be displayed

quicker when stationary than while moving. If the present location is not displayed or if the

wrong location is displayed, move to an area with a clear view of the sky.

Direction may not be measured correctly due to the surrounding environment.

When other electronic devices are near your tablet device, electromagnetic waves or magnetic

interference from those may prevent your tablet device from providing accurate location

information. Keep electronic devices away from your tablet device.

When your tablet device is in an area with poor reception of GPS signals, you may encounter

positioning errors. To receive more accurate information, avoid using your tablet device in the

following locations.

Inside buildings or vehicles

In tunnels or underground

Under elevated tracks

Between tall buildings

In dense trees

In valleys
