Preparing the notebook for use
Selecting a location
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following
points when looking for a location:
!
● Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.
● Do not place the notebook on your legs for a long period of time. The underside of
the notebook heats up during normal operation. Long periods of contact with the skin
can become unpleasant or even result in burns.
● Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. Please note that the rubber
feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
● Never place the notebook and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
● Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the mains
adapter.
● Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.
