Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
 For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended
temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F). (Actual operating
temperature depends on product specifications.)
 Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust. Using in extreme environments for long periods can result in
product deterioration and a shortened product life.
 Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.
 Place the computer on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the
computer on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong
impact by dropping or hitting may damage the computer.
 Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For
example, do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the
computer.
 As the computer can become very hot during operation, keep it away
from objects that are vulnerable to heat.
 Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical
appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV,
refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.
 Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may cause condensation
inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
General Guidelines
 Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer as this may damage
the display.
 Do not move the computer simply by grasping the display screen.
 To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object.
