Overheating

If the V1250 becomes hot:

• In a high temperature operating

environment, 95 degrees
Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) or
more, the V1250’s case bottom
can reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit
(49 degrees Celsius).

• Make sure the air vents are not

blocked.

• Certain programs that are

processor-intensive may increase
the V1250’s temperature to the
point that the V1250 automatically
slows down its CPU clock to
protect itself from thermal damage.
