Heat Related Concerns
Your device may become very warm during normal use. It complies with the
user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International
Standards for Safety. Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long
periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. To reduce potential heat-
related concerns, follow these guidelines:
Keep your device and its AC adapter in a well-ventilated area when in
use or charging. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around
the device.
Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with
your device or its AC adapter when it’s operating or connected to a
power source. For example, don’t sleep with your device or its AC adapter,
or place it under a blanket or pillow, and avoid contact between your
body and your device when the AC adapter is connected to a power
source. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects
your ability to detect heat against the body.
If your device is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm.
While the temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain
physical contact with the device for a long time, for example if you rest
the device on your lap, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury.
If your device is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it
from your lap and place it on a stable work surface.
Never place your device or AC adapter on furniture or any other surface
that might be marred by exposure to heat since the base of your device
and the surface of the AC adaptor may increase in temperature during
normal use.
