Do not pick up or hold your computer by the display. When
picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom (keyboard)
half.
Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or
closed.
Do not turn your computer over while the AC Adapter is plugged
in. This could break the adapter plug.
Do not move the computer when the hard disk drive is accessing
data (when the indicator is blinking).
Do not use or store your computer where the temperature is
below 5° C or above 35° C (41° F and 95° F).
Do not place your computer closer than 13 cm (5 in.) from any
electrical appliance that generates a strong magnetic field, such
as a motor, a magnet, a TV, a refrigerator, or large audio
speakers.
Do not hard-mount your computer in a vehicle or anywhere that it
is subject to strong vibration. See Ruggedized mobile computers
for information on a more appropriate model for demanding
applications.
Do not crush or drop the external or removable hard disk,
diskette, or CD-ROM drive when it is outside your computer.
Do not press on the middle part of the diskette drive or CD-ROM
drive.
Do not insert a diskette at an angle. Not inserting the diskette
straight into the drive can damage the drive.
Do not place more than one label on a diskette. Multiple or
loose labels can detach or tear and then lodge in the drive.
Do not touch the lens on the CD-ROM tray.
Do not close the CD-ROM tray until you hear the CD-ROM click
into the center pivot of the CD-ROM drive.
Do not touch the surface of a compact disc; handle the compact
disc only by its edges.
Do not connect the modem to a PBX (private branch exchange)
or other digital telephone extension line. Your computer can
use only a public-switched telephone network (PSTN). Use
of a phone line other than PSTN can damage your modem. If
you are not sure which kind of phone line you are using, contact
your telephone company. Many hotels or office buildings use
digital telephone extension lines, so check before connecting the
telephone cable in such places.
