Checking the Computer and Installation Area
The machine's location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its
performance.
The area where the machine is to be placed
• Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Also, avoid placing these
items in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers
holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result
from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.
• Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet. This will allow easy
disconnection of the power cord in the event of an emergency.
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might
occur.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might
occur.
• Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the machine to topple over,
possibly resulting in injury.
• Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal
components.
• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good
ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.
• To avoid malfunctions, position the machine away from the following:
• direct sunlight
• flow of air from air conditioners or heaters
• radios, televisions, or other electronic devices
