Safety Precautions
General
• Follow all cautions and instructions, which may be marked, on the computer.
• Except as described elsewhere in this manual, refer all servicing to qualified
personnel. Immediately shut off the computer and seek servicing under the
following conditions:
• when the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed
• when liquid has been spilled on the computer
• when the computer has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
Location
• Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight.
• Try to avoid dusty environments.
• Keep the computer away from any magnetic devices and TVs.
• Keep the computer away from excessive humidity or fluids such as rain, snow,
water spray, juice, coffee, steam, etc.
• Do not move the computer from an extremely cold place to an extremely warm
place. A temperature difference of more than 10°C (18°F) will cause condensation
inside the unit, which may cause damage.
• Do not block or cover slots or openings on the cabinet. These protect the computer
from overheating.
• Do not place the computer on unstable or uneven work surfaces.
• Do not use the computer on your lap or any part of your body for an extended
period during operation or charging to avoid injury from heat exposure.
Usage
• Never push any objects of any kind into cabinet openings. They may touch
dangerous voltage points or short parts that could result in fire or electrical shock.
• Turn off the computer before installing or removing peripheral devices (except
when connecting USB devices and PC cards, etc.).
• Check the AC power cord and power connectors periodically for damage. Replace
the power cord immediately if damage is found.
• Never subject your computer to sudden shocks or extreme vibration.
