Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
l
Use the computer where the temperature is between -20
°
C (-4
°
F) and 50
°
C (122
°
F).
l
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust.
l
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example, do not
place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface. Otherwise,
overheating may occur which could result in damage to the computer.
l
Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that
can generate a strong magnetic field such as TVs, refrigerators, motors, or large
audio speakers.

Do not move the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10
°
C (18

F) will cause condensation inside the unit, which
may damage the storage media.

Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface.
General Guidelines

management feature to automatically turn off the backlight. Avoid using a screen
saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.
