OWNER’S HANDBOOK 1/7
General advice
This computer is designed to be used in a normal home or office
environment. Here are a few hints for choosing a suitable site:
♦
Place the system unit flat on a sturdy, level surface, free from
vibration.
♦
Site the computer away from moisture, direct sunlight, and
extremes of heat and cold. Avoid situations in which the
surrounding temperature or humidity may change rapidly.
When the computer is in use, the temperature should be
between 10 and 35
o
C and humidity between 20% and 80%
(with no condensation).
♦
When positioning the system unit, monitor and keyboard, take
into account any local or national regulations relating to
ergonomic requirements. For example, you should ensure that
little or no light is reflected off the monitor screen as glare, and
that the keyboard is placed in a comfortable position for
typing.
♦
Give the computer plenty of room so that air can circulate on
all sides. Air is drawn into the system unit through vents at the
front, and expelled through the circular vent on the back.
Ensure that these vents are never obstructed.
Do not allow any cables, particularly power cords, to trail across the
floor where people walking past can snag them.
WARNING
The computer uses the system unit AC power cord as its ‘disconnect
device’. Ensure that the system unit is positioned close to the AC power
outlet, and that the plug is easily accessible.
To prevent fire and electric shock, do not expose any part of the system
unit to rain or moisture.
