Things you must remember before working on your computer
Let your computer acclimate itself
Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like
going from the cold outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets to
condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic parts inside. After receiving your notebook
when it’s hot or cold outside, try not to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to the
room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.
If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply power to the computer or monitor until they have
been allowed to come to room temperature.
Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare
Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold, too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it
hard to read the screen.
Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if it is over heated, so try to allow plenty of
room for air to circulate around the case.
Do not block the ventilation opening.
Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
Suitable place to work
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extremes of temperature and humidity can be
challenging to your system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things
like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are
traveling. If you are running your system for the first time on battery power, remove the battery from the
package, install it into the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare for service.
