Precautions for System Use
Follow these precautions when using your NEC Versa L320 computer and AC adapter.
„
Avoid dropping or bumping the computer or the AC adapter.
„
Do not stack heavy objects on the computer, the AC adapter, or the batteries.
„ Avoid moving the NEC Versa notebook during system operation, especially while
the hard disk, diskette drive, or other drive is being accessed.
„
When using the AC adapter, make sure the power source falls within the system’s
compatible range of 100-240 volts and 50 or 60-Hz, AC. Never use the AC adapter
if the voltage falls outside of this range. (Watch for this when traveling to other
countries.)
„
Turn computer power off before attaching or removing non-plug and play devices
that are not warm- or hot-swappable.
„
Do not push any foreign objects into the NEC Versa bays, connectors, and slots.
„
Do not set the computer on top of a magnetized area. Doing so can destroy the data
on your hard disk drive. (Some airline tray tables are magnetic.)
„
Avoid using the computer or AC adapter for extended periods in direct sunlight.
„
Do not use the system in humid or dusty environments.
„
Turn computer power off before cleaning it.
„
Avoid exposing the NEC Versa notebook or AC adapter to extreme changes in
temperature or humidity. If it is unavoidable, allow your NEC Versa notebook to
adjust to room temperature before use.
„
When cleaning the system, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Avoid wiping the display
surface with abrasive material, including rough fabric. Do not use a cleaning
solution; this may damage the notebook’s magnesium case.
„
If the AC adapter becomes extremely hot, unplug the adapter and let it cool.
