Selecting the location
Location,selectingthe Notebook Poweradapter
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider
the following points when selecting a location:
• Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause damage due to overheating.
• Do not place the notebook directly on your legs for extended periods. The
underside of the notebook heats up during normal operation. Extended contact
with the skin can become unpleasant or even result in burns.
• Place the notebook on a stable, fl at, non-slip surface. Please note that
the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
• Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its mains
adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Never cover the ventilation slots on the notebook or the mains adapter.
• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect
the notebook against dust, humidity and heat.
