Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
Use the computer where the temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and
50 °C (122 °F).
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust.
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 which may result
in damage to the computer.
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.
Do not move the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) will cause
condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer as this may
damage the display.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to
clean the display. Avoid touching it with a ballpoint pen or pencil.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the
backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power
management from working.
