Safety Precautions
Please follow the guidelines below to use your computer comfortably and to avoid health problems.
Computer Environment
Make sure that the computer:
✓
is away from direct sunlight and sources of heat;
✓
is away from magnetic fields or any device generating static electricity;
✓
is kept at least 30 centimetres away from a mobile phone;
✓
is not in a dusty or damp environment;
✓
is not placed on a carpet or any other surface that may have an electrical charge.
Cables
Make sure that:
✓
cables are not strained and that there is no risk of people walking or tripping over them;
✓
other devices do not crush the cables;
✓
power cords are connected to a grounded electrical outlet;
✓
the power outlet is easily accessible and as close to the computer as possible (do not overload it with too
many adapters).
Cleaning your Computer
✓
Always unplug your computer from the power outlet before cleaning it;
✓
do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, use a damp cloth instead;
✓
never spray cleaning product directly on the screen;
✓
if dust has accumulated inside your computer, do not use a vacuum cleaner to remove it;
✓
if you spill liquid on your computer or any device attached to it, switch it off immediately, unplug the
power cord and make sure it is completely dry before switching it on again. Wait overnight if necessary.
Health Precautions
✓
If you work or play for hours at a time, then make sure you take regular breaks. Look away from the com-
puter's screen once in a while. Do not use your computer if you are tired.
✓
Ensure that the computer’s ventilation slots and openings are never obstructed or covered. Do not place
the computer on a soft surface (such as a carpet, chair or bed) that may block ventilation slots.
