Safety Precautions
General
• Follow all cautions and instructions which may be marked on the computer.
• Except as described elsewhere in this manual, refer all servicing to qualified
personnel. Immediately shut off the computer and request servicing under the
following conditions:
• The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• Liquid has been spilled on the computer.
• The computer has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
Location
• Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight.
• Try to avoid dusty environments.
• Keep the computer away from any magnetic devices and TVs.
• Keep the computer away from excessive humidity or fluids such as rain, snow,
water spray, juice, coffee, steam, etc.
• Do not move the computer from a cold place to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10°C (18°F) will cause condensation inside the unit,
which may damage the data.
• Do not block or cover slots or openings on the cabinet to protect the computer
from overheating.
• Do not smoke near your computer.
Usage
• Never push any objects of any kind into cabinet openings. They may touch
dangerous voltage points or short parts that could result in fire or electrical
shock.
• Turn off the computer before installing or removing a peripheral device (except
when connecting USB devices and PC cards).
• Check the AC power cord and power connectors periodically for damage.
Replace the power cord immediately if damage is found.
• Never subject your computer to sudden shocks or extreme vibration.
• Do not drop the computer or hit it with other equipment.
