too hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with
the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on
your lap, for example), your skin might suffer low-heat
injury.
Never apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it
to sharp impacts. Excessive pressure or impact can
damage computer components or otherwise cause your
computer to malfunction.
Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. If
two cards are installed, both can become hot even if only
one is being used. Overheating of a PC Card can result in
errors or instability in its operation.
Be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been
used for a long period.
Avoid spilling liquids into the computer’s keyboard.
If you do spill a liquid that gets into the keyboard, turn
off the computer immediately. Leave the computer turned
off overnight to let it dry out before you use it again.
Never turn off the computer if a drive light indicates a
drive is active.
Turning off the computer while it is reading from or
writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.
Keep the computer and disks away from objects that
generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo
speakers.
Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing a
magnet too close to a disk can erase important files.
Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you
receive via diskette, email, or download from the
Internet. Occasionally, even new programs you buy from
a supplier may contain a computer virus. You’ll need a
special program to check for viruses. Ask your dealer to
help you.
