device without using cable connections.
When you receive your computer, the sensor is disabled. You can use the system setup program to
enable the sensor. For information on transferring data, see the Windows Help and Support Center or
the documentation that came with your IrDA-compatible device. To access help, see "Finding
Information for Your Computer" on page 17.
AIR VENT — The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which prevents
the computer from overheating.
CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air
vents. Doing so can damage the computer or cause a fire.
NOTE: The computer turns on the fans when the computer gets hot. The fans may make noise,
which is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fans or the computer.
