H e a t in ju r y
Avoid prolonge d physica l conta ct with the compute r. If the compute r is
us e d for long pe riods , its s urfa ce can become ve ry wa rm. While the
tempera ture will not fe e l hot to the touch, if you ma inta in phys ica l
contact with the compute r for a long time, for e xample if you re st the
compute r on your la p or if you ke ep your ha nds on the pa lm re st, your
skin might s uffe r a low-he at injury.
If the computer ha s be en used for a long time , a void dire ct conta ct
with the me tal pla te s upporting the va rious interface ports as this can
be come hot.
The s urfa ce of the AC ada ptor can become hot whe n in use but this
condition does not indica te a ma lfunction. If you ne e d to trans port the
AC a da ptor, you s hould dis conne ct it a nd le t it cool be fore moving it.
Do not la y the AC a da ptor on a materia l tha t is sens itive to he at a s the
ma te ria l could become dama ged.

Do not a pply he a vy pressure to the compute r or s ubje ct it to any form of

To help e ns ure long, trouble -free ope ra tion, ke e p the compute r free of dus t
