Caring for your computer
To extend the life of your computer:
•
Be careful not to bump or drop your computer, and do
not put any objects on top of it. The case, although
strong, is not made to support extra weight.
•
When transporting your computer, we recommend that
you put it in the original packaging materials.
•
Keep your computer away from magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields can erase data on hard drives.
•
Never turn off your computer when the drive indicator
is on because data on the hard drive could be lost or
corrupted.
•
Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperature
changes. The case can become brittle and easy to break
in cold temperatures and can melt or warp in high
temperatures. Damage due to either extreme is not
covered by your warranty. As a general rule, your
computer is safest at temperatures that are comfortable
for you.
•
Keep all liquids away from your computer. When spilled
onto computer components, almost any liquid can result
in expensive repairs that are not covered under a
standard warranty.
•
Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt
can clog the internal mechanisms and can lead to
permanent damage to the computer.
•
Do not block the ventilation fan slots. If these slots are
blocked, your computer may overheat, resulting in
unexpected shutdown or permanent damage to the
computer.
•
When storing your computer for an extended period of
time, unplug AC power.
