Maintaining Your Hardware
Your notebook is designed as a durable product. To maintain its
performance and promote longevity, follow these guidelines:
Carry and store your notebook in a portable carrying case.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the display, do not
place anything on top of the notebook even when it is in the
carrying case.
Keep Zip disks, diskettes and modular disk drives away from
magnetic fields, which can erase your data.
Keep liquids and excessive moisture away from your
notebook and keyboard to prevent costly repairs.
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
internal components, do not allow liquids to drip into the notebook
keyboard.
Avoid exposing your notebook to direct sunlight, extreme
temperatures, or ultraviolet light for extended periods of time.
Use your notebook only on a solid, flat surface. Make sure
that vents, which cool internal components, are unobstructed.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the vents. Do
not allow a hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a
soft surface, such as fabric or carpet, to block the airflow.
