included in the text of the manual.
Provide adequate ventilation
■
Always make sure your computer and AC adapter have adequate
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is
turned on or when an AC adapter 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 adapter with any object.
■
Never place your computer or AC adapter near a heat source, such
as anelectric blanket or heater.
■
Never cover or block the air vents including those located at the
base of the computer.
■
Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your
computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents.
■
Always provide sufficient space around the computer.
■
Overheating your computer or AC adapter could cause system failure,
computer or AC adapter damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious
injury.
