Other precautions
Your notebook computer is designed to provide optimum
safety and ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel.
You should observe certain precautions to further reduce the
risk of personal injury or damage to the computer.
❖ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside of
the computer.
If the computer is used for long periods, its case can become
very warm. While the temperature may not feel 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.
Do not 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
used extensively. Overheating of a PC Card can result in errors
or instability in the PC Card operation.
Be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used for
lengthy periods of time.
❖ 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.
