■
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.
