Tips for Using Your Computer
The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your
computer:
Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the
system chassis voids your warranty. Only an authorised
manufacturer
service center can replace or add any parts
inside the chassis.
•
Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.
•
The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent
damage, avoid touching the screen.
•
Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other
options.
•
Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around
components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan
inside your computer runs when needed to help eliminate some heat. Make
sure the fan vent on the right side of your computer is not blocked when you
use the computer. (See Figure 1 on page 3 and Figure 2 on page 4 for the
location of the vent.) Occasionally check the vents and remove any
accumulated dust on the outside.
