Caring

for

your

computer

Though

your

computer

is

designed

to

function

reliably

in

normal

work

environments,

you

need

to

use

common

sense

in

handling

it.

By

following

these

important

tips,

you

will

get

the

most

use

and

enjoyment

out

of

your

computer.

Important

tips

Be

careful

about

where

and

how

you

work

v

Do

not

leave

the

base

of

your

computer,

or

any

other

part

that

becomes

hot

during

operation,

in

contact

with

your

lap

or

any

part

of

your

body

for

an

extended

period

when

the

computer

is

functioning

or

when

the

battery

is

charging.

Your

computer

dissipates

some

heat

during

normal

operation.

This

heat

is

a

function

of

the

level

of

system

activity

and

battery

charge

level.

Extended

contact

with

your

body,

even

through

clothing,

could

cause

discomfort

or,

eventually,

a

skin

burn.

v

When

the

ac

adapter

is

connected

to

an

electrical

outlet

and

your

computer,

it

generates

heat.

Do

not

place

the

adapter

in

contact

with

any

part

of

your

body

while

using

it.

Never

use

the

ac

adapter

to

warm

your

body.

Extended

contact

with

your

body,

even

through

clothing,

may

cause

a

skin

burn.

v

Route

the

cables

of

an

ac

adapter,

a

mouse,

a

keyboard,

a

printer,

or

any

other

electronic

device,

or

communication

lines,

so

that

they

cannot

be

walked

on,

tripped

over,

pinched

by

your

computer

or

other

objects,

or

in

any

way

subjected

to

treatment

that

could

disturb

the

operation

of

your

computer.

Applying

strong

force

to

the

cables

may

damage

or

break

them.

v

Place

liquids

away

from

your

computer

to

avoid

spills,

and

keep

your

computer

away

from

water

(to

avoid

the

danger

of

electrical

shock).

v

Store

packing

materials

safely

out

of

the

reach

of

children

to

prevent

the

risk

of

suffocation

from

plastic

bags.

v

Keep

your

computer

away

from

magnets,

activated

cellular

phones,

electrical

appliances,

or

speakers

(within

13

cm

or

5

in).

v

Avoid

subjecting

your

computer

to

extreme

temperatures

(below

5°C/41°F

or

above

35°C/95°F).

v

Some

appliances,

such

as

certain

portable

desktop

fans

or

air

purifiers,

can

produce

negative

ions.

If

a

computer

is

close

to

such

an

appliance,

and

is

exposed

for

an

extended

time

to

air

containing

negative

ions,

it

may

become

electrostatically

charged.

Such

a

charge

may

be

discharged

through

your

hands

when

you

touch

the

keyboard

or

other

parts

of

the

computer,
