first things first
❂
Do not obstruct the air vents on the notebook or use it on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface.
The air vents are necessary for proper airflow and cooling of your notebook.
If these air vents are blocked, your notebook may overheat.
❂ Do not work for long periods with the notebook resting on your lap.
The air vents may become blocked, causing the temperature of the
notebook to increase to a point where it may be harmful to your skin.
❂ Keep your computer a safe distance away from sources of magnetic fields,
such as cellular phones and external speakers.
Magnetic fields can disrupt the information on hard drives.
❂ Use only a soft cloth, moistened with water, to clean your notebook.
Do not use household chemicals to clean your notebook; they may
damage it.
❂ Use only recommended upgrade or replacement parts and accessories.
❂ Other than the indicated user-replaceable components, your notebook
should be serviced by an authorized technician.
❂ When using your modem:
— Use only Number 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
— During an electrical storm, disconnect modem/telephone cables and
do not use your modem. There is a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
— Never install modem/telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks
are specifically designed for wet locations.
— Never touch uninsulated modem/telephone wires or terminals unless
the modem/telephone line has been disconnected at the network
interface.
