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 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 as this may damage the
display.
