Safety Precautions
The following precautions must be observed in handling the laptop to prevent safety issues
that may lead to person injury or death, or may result in damage and may compromise the
laptop’s functionality:

• Do not place the laptop in environments subject to mist, smoke, vibration, excessive
dust, salty or greasy air, or other corrosive gases and fumes.
• Do not drop or jolt the laptop
• Do not bump or knock the LCD screen as it is fragile and could break.

any installation procedures on the laptop.

pad or on the bed that came with the components whenever the components are
separated from the Laptop.
• Always handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies only at static-
free work areas.
