Operating Environment

You can use your computer under a wide range of environmental conditions. 
However, to ensure long use and continued high performance, consider the 
following factors when setting up your computer: 

• 

Set the computer on a flat, stable surface. To prevent damage to the 
computer’s hard disk drive avoid using the computer where it will be 
exposed to strong vibration. 

• 

Place the computer away from electromagnetic or radio frequency 
interference (for example, television/stereo sets, copying machines, and air 
conditioners). 

• 

Avoid using or storing the computer where it will be exposed to extreme 
temperatures. In particular, do not leave the computer in direct sunlight, 
over a radiator, or near a heat source for a long period of time. High 
temperature can damage the circuitry. 

• 

Avoid exposing the computer to high or low humidity. Extreme humidity can 

contribute to disk drive failure.

• 

If you are using the computer with the AC adapter, do not allow anything to 

rest on the power cord. Do not place the computer where people can step 
on or trip over the cord.

• 

The openings on the computer are provided to protect the computer from 
overheating. To ensure reliable operation, leave about 10 cm (4 inches) 
around the computer for unobstructed air circulation. Avoid exposing the 
computer to dust or smoke.
