Getting Started
Getting comfortable with your computer
❖
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside or surface
of the computer.
❖
Computer base and palm rest can become hot! Avoid prolonged
contact to prevent heat injury to skin.
Read the “Avoid extended contact between computer base/palm rest
and skin” section in the “Instruction Manual for Safety and
Comfort” that is shipped with your computer.
Never place a heavy object on the computer and be careful not to
drop a heavy object onto the computer. It could damage the
computer or cause system failure.
Important information on your computer’s cooling fan
Your computer may have a CPU cooling fan that cools the CPU by
drawing outside air into the computer.
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned
on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your
computer is in Standby mode). In this condition, observe the following:
❖
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.
❖
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source,
such as an electric blanket or heater.
❖
Never cover or block the air vents including those located at the
base of the computer.
❖
Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your
computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents
located at the base of the computer.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system
failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting
in serious injury.
The cooling fan location will vary depending on the computer.
