Operating guidelines
To prevent overheating and to help prolong the life of the computer:
●
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.
●
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all vented sides
of the computer and above the display to permit the required airow.
●
Never restrict the airow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the
keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also
restricts airow.
●
Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other foreign matter
can block the vents and limit the airow. Be sure to unplug the computer before cleaning the air vents.
●
Never operate the computer with the covers removed.
●
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
●
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including
sleep states.
