Do’s
Carry and store your Notebook in a portable notebook
carrying case.
Keep floppy disks and modular disk drives away from
magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can erase data on your
floppy disks and on your hard drives.
Keep your Notebook away from extreme temperatures (for
example, in parked cars, near heaters, or near open windows).
Extreme temperatures can damage your Notebook or cause it
to perform poorly.
Use your Notebook only on a solid, flat surface and make
sure that no walls or objects are close enough to the vents to
reduce airflow.
Don’ts
Bump or drop your Notebook.
Put objects on top of it. Even if your Notebook is stored in a
durable carrying case, it is not made to support extra weight.
Leave the CD/DVD drive door open when it is not in use. The
door can be damaged.
Handle liquids around your Notebook. Exposure to almost
any liquid can result in expensive repairs that are not covered
under your warranty.
Expose your Notebook to dusty or dirty environments. Dust
and dirt can clog internal components and mechanisms.
Place the Notebook on surfaces that may block the vents
on the side or bottom of the unit, such as towels,
carpeting, and so on.
