z For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended
temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F) – actual operating
temperature depending on product specifications.
z Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust.
z Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For
example, do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the
computer.
z Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical
appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV,
refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.
z Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A

condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
z Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface.
