General conditions
In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the
following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment.
■
Select a work area that has:
■
a well-designed and functioning ventilation system that does not
forcefully direct air on you
■
good air circulation
■
a comfortable ambient temperature and relative humidity.
■
Never place your PC where it will be exposed to excess heat, such as in
direct sunlight, an unventilated vehicle or near a heater. This may result
in a system failure, malfunction, loss of data or damage to PC.
■
Never place your PC in a location where it will be exposed to extremely
low temperatures. This may result in a system failure, malfunction or
loss of data.
■
Never subject your PC to sudden temperature variations. This may
result in condensation, causing a system failure, malfunction or loss of
data.
■
Do not expose your PC to dusty environments. If dust gets inside the
PC, it could cause a system failure, malfunction or loss of data. If dust
contaminates the PC, do not turn on the power. Take it to an authorized
Toshiba service provider before you use it.
■
Never place your PC near an object that generates a magnetic field,
such as a speaker or TV. Do not wear magnetic bracelets while using
your PC. Exposure to magnetic fields can cause system failure,
malfunction or loss of data.
■
Never place a heavy object on the PC and be careful not to drop a
heavy object onto the PC. It could damage the PC or cause system
failure.
■
Never use benzene, thinner or other chemicals when cleaning the PC,
AC adaptor, or storage device. The use of benzene, thinner or other
chemicals may result in deterioration, deformation or discoloration of
those items and the loss of data.
■
Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the
computer and easily accessible.
■
The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to 95
degrees Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80
percent.
■
Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct
sunlight.
■
Some parts of the computer, including data storage media, can be
damaged by magnets. Do not place the computer near magnetic
objects or bring magnetic objects close to the computer. Be careful of
objects, such as stereo speakers, that produce strong magnetic fields
during operation. Also, be careful with metal objects, such as bracelets,
which can be inadvertently magnetized.
■
Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.
