Operating Environment
You can use your computer under a wide range of environmental conditions.
However, to ensure long use and continued high performance, consider the
following factors when setting up your computer:
•
Set the computer on a flat, stable surface. To prevent damage to the
computer’s hard disk drive avoid using the computer where it will be
exposed to strong vibration.
•
Place the computer away from electromagnetic or radio frequency
interference (for example, television/stereo sets, copying machines, and air
conditioners).
•
Avoid using or storing the computer where it will be exposed to extreme
temperatures. In particular, do not leave the computer in direct sunlight,
over a radiator, or near a heat source for a long period of time. High
temperature can damage the circuitry.
•
Avoid exposing the computer to high or low humidity. Extreme humidity can
contribute to disk drive failure.
•
If you are using the computer with the AC adapter, do not allow anything to
rest on the power cord. Do not place the computer where people can step
on or trip over the cord.
•
The openings on the computer are provided to protect the computer from
overheating. To ensure reliable operation, leave about 10 cm (4 inches)
around the computer for unobstructed air circulation. Avoid exposing the
computer to dust or smoke.
