Information on Safety, Cleaning, and Battery Maintenance 28
Using the Computer Safely
When setting up or operating the computer, please pay special atten-
tion to the following:
1.
Keep this manual in a safe place for easy reference when needed.
2.
Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings related to the system.
3.
Place the computer on stable, level surface, and ensure that the ventila-
tion holes are not obstructed.
4.
Do not expose the computer to rain or excess humidity, and keep it
away from liquids (such as beverages, faucets, and so on).
5.
Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight, and keep it away from
sources of heat (such as radiators, space heaters, stoves, and so on).
6.
Do not expose the computer to heavy impacts or strong vibrations.
When closing the computer, do not use excessive force.
7.
Do not place the computer in environments where the temperature is below
0
°
C or above 50
°
C.
8.
Do not place the computer in the area of strong magnetic fields.
9.
Use an appropriate electrical outlet, and make sure that no heavy objects
are placed on the AC adapter or power cord.
10.
The AC adapter is a high-voltage component. Do not attempt to repair
it on your own. If it becomes damaged, please contact an authorized
BenQ distributor or service center.
11.
Make sure that the modem port is used only with a regular analog phone
line. Do not connect a digital phone line to the modem port, as this will
cause damage to the modem.
Battery Maintenance
1.
Do not use AC adapters other than the one provided with the com-
puter.
2.
After an extended period of usage, the battery's ability to retain charge
will gradually deteriorate—this is entirely normal. To replace an old bat-
tery, turn off the computer, and be sure to use a new battery of the
same type.
3.
Do not place the battery within reach of children, and keep well away
from sources of fire.
4.
Follow vendor recommendations and local laws governing the disposal of
batteries. As far as possible, submit used batteries to be recycled.
5.
Use of improper batteries, or attempting to disassemble a battery, may
result in explosions. Follow vendor recommendations in using batteries
of the identical or equivalent type as replacements for worn-out batter-
ies.
