Getting Started
Handle discs carefully. Avoid touching the surface of the
disc. Grasp it by its center hole and edge. If you handle
the disc incorrectly, you could damage the disc and
possibly lose data.
❖
Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you
receive via email or download from the Internet.
Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a
supplier may contain a computer virus. You need a
special program to check for viruses.
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
Sleep 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
on the back of the computer.
Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause
system failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
