Other precautions
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 or exert pressure on it. 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 prevents
damage to your computer caused by sudden power surges such as those that may
occur during an electrical storm.
