Operating Environment
In order to maintain the effective operation of your WinBook notebook,
you need to take into account the environmental factors that can adversely
affect your system.
Temperature: Your system can be damaged by very high or very low
temperatures.
• Try to avoid using your WinBook notebook in temperatures below 41° F
(5° C) or above 95° F (35° C).
• Avoid storing or shipping your WinBook notebook in temperatures below
-4° F (-20° C) or above 140° F (60° C). Long-term (6 months) storage of
a unit with a battery in place should not exceed 104° F (40° C).
• Running your battery in temperatures below 41° F (5° C) or above 95° F
(35° C) will reduce battery life.
• The battery is made to shut off its charging circuitry if the temperature
is too high. This helps prevents overcharging. If your battery gets too hot,
you will have to wait for it to cool before it will charge.
• Cold batteries may take as much as twice as long to charge.
Humidity: A relatively small amount of moisture can cause a short in elec-
tronic components. If you see condensation appearing on other equipment
around you, you should not turn on your WinBook notebook. In general,
the optimal operating environment for your system in the range of 30-90%
humidity. The optimal storage environment for your system is in the range
of 10-90% humidity.
Altitude: Pressurized airplane cabins are not a problem for operation of
your WinBook notebook, although you should be aware of any restrictions
that your airline might place on use of electronic devices in the cabin. Use
of your WinBook notebook at high altitudes (over 10,000 ft.) in the moun-
tains, however, can lower disk drive reliability.
