Introduction
When the Privacy Filter is installed on a notebook, the viewing angle is
narrowed to about 60°, obscuring the screen from the left and right sides.
Although the screen becomes hard to see from the left and right sides, it
remains clearly visible from the front. The enhanced privacy resulting from
obscuring the screen from prying eyes lets you use your notebook without
having to worry about your location.
Notes
• The Privacy Filter is specially designed for Sony VAIO notebooks. It may
not be usable with all models, so make sure that it is compatible with
your notebook before using it.
• The Privacy Filter works properly even if it is warped.
Precautions for Use
Observe the following precautions. If you experience problems using the
Privacy Filter, refer to the manuals provided with your notebook for
information about support from Sony.
Installation Location
Avoid the following locations:
• Where corrosive gases may be present
• Where high temperatures may occur, such as in directly sunlight or near
