Replacing the Lithium Battery  
You may need to replace the lithium battery if your computer consistently  
loses the date or time settings after turning it off. The lithium battery has  
a typical life of three years, after which the battery may be too weak to  
power the CMOS memory.  
! When you remove the lithium battery, all values stored in the CMOS memory  
(BIOS setup values and Plug and Play values) may be lost. Although the  
computer can hold the charge for a short time while replacing the battery, it  
is safer to assume that the settings will be lost. When the values are lost, the  
BIOS values revert to their factory-default settings (see “Accessing the BIOS

About User and Supervisor Passwords  
The system allows you to specify up to two passwords (a User password  
and a Supervisor password) in the CMOS Setup Utility. The User  
password is required; the Supervisor password is optional.  
Access to the CMOS Setup Utility depends on which passwords were  
previously set, as indicated next.  
If you set these passwords...  
User password only  
...the following passwords are required:  
User password is required at bootup.  
Supervisor password only  
No password is required at bootup.  
Supervisor password is required by most  
setup options.  
Both passwords  
User password is required at bootup.

Miscellaneous Technical Information  
Beep Code Error Messages  
During a normal bootup, a single short beep signifies that the system is  
OK. Other beep patterns signify errors. The number of beeps indicates the  
specific error that occurred.  
The Sony Online Support technical representative will need to know how  
many beeps your system produces if there is an error, so be sure to count  
the number of beeps before calling for support.
