Precautions
73
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 spots (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.
Avoid rubbing the LCD screen, as this can damage the screen. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the LCD screen.
On using the power source
Your computer operates on 220V-240V (1.1A) AC 50/60 Hz.
Do not share the AC outlet with other high power-consuming equipment, such as a photocopier or
shredder.
You can purchase a power strip with a surge protector. This device prevents damage to your computer
caused by sudden power surges, in an electrical storm, for example.
Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Unplug your computer from the wall outlet if you will not be using the computer for a long time.
On handling your computer
Clean the unit with a soft cloth, which is either dry or lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine, as these
may damage the finish of your computer.
Should you drop a solid object or any liquid onto the computer, shut down your computer and then
unplug it. You may want to have the computer checked by qualified personnel before operating it again.
Do not drop the computer or place heavy objects on top of the computer.
Do not place your computer in a location subject to:
Heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts
