„

Make sure there is adequate space around the computer for

proper ventilation.

Make sure the AC adaptor’s 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.

humidity may occur.

„

Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance.
