Notes on Use
This section describes safety guidelines and precautions to help protect
your computer from potential damage.
On Handling the LCD Screen
❑ Do not leave the LCD facing the sun as it can damage the LCD. Be
careful when using the computer near a window.
❑
Do not scratch the LCD. Do not exert pressure on the LCD or on the
top of the computer. This could cause malfunction.
❑ Using the computer in low temperature conditions may produce a
residual image on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the
computer returns to normal temperature, the screen returns to
normal.
❑ A residual image may appear on the screen if the same image is
displayed for a lengthy period of time. The residual image disappears
in a while. You can use a screen saver to prevent residual images.
❑ The screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
❑ The LCD is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or
green) that continuously appear on the LCD. This is a normal result
of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.
On the Power Source
❑ Your computer operates on 100V-240V AC 50/60 Hz.
❑ Do not share the AC outlet with other power-consuming equipment,
such as a copying machine or shredder.
❑ You can purchase a power strip with a surge protector. This device
may prevent damage to your computer caused by sudden power
surges such as those that may occur during an electrical storm.
❑ Do not place heavy objects on the AC adapter or its cord.
