Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended
temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F). (Actual operating
temperature depends on product specifications.)
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust. Using the computer in extreme environments for long periods can
result in product deterioration and a shortened product life.
Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.
Place the computer on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the computer
on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by
dropping or hitting may damage the computer.
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.
As the computer can become very hot during operation, keep it away
from objects that are vulnerable to heat.
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.
Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may cause condensation
inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as
this may damage the display.
Do not move the computer simply by grasping the display screen.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object.
