Safety Precautions
General
•
Follow all cautions and instructions marked on your computer.
•
Except as described elsewhere in this manual, refer all servicing to qualified
personnel. Immediately shut off your computer and seek servicing under the
following conditions:
•
when the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed
•
when liquid is spilled on your computer
• when your computer has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
Location
•
Do not expose your computer to direct sunlight.
•
Try to avoid dusty environments.
•
Keep your computer away from any magnetic devices and TVs.
•
Keep your computer away from excessive humidity or fluids such as rain, snow,
water spray, juice, coffee, steam, etc.
•
Do not move your computer from an extremely cold place to an extremely warm
place. A temperature difference of more than 18
°
F (10
°
C) will cause condensation
inside the unit, which may cause damage. (In this case, turn off your computer and
leave it for about an hour to completely dry the unit.)
•
Do not block or cover slots or openings on the cabinet. They protect your computer
from overheating.
•
Do not place your computer on an unstable or uneven work surface.
•
Care should be exercised when using on heat sensitive surfaces or your lap as the
base of your computer will become hot.
•
Do not use your computer on your lap or any part of your body for an extended
period during operation or while charging to avoid injury from heat exposure.
Usage
•
Never push any objects into cabinet openings. They may touch the dangerous
voltage points or short parts that could result in fire or electrical shock.
•
Do not press or place heavy objects on your computer. Strong pressure can damage
the cabinet or make your computer fail.
