To prevent overheating, do 
not obstruct vents. Use the 
computer only on a hard, flat 
surface. Do not allow another 
hard surface, such as an 
adjoining optional printer, or a 
soft surface, such as pillows or 
thick rugs or clothing, to block 
airflow.

The computer fan starts up 
automatically to cool internal 
components and prevent 
overheating. It is normal for the 
internal fan to cycle on and off 
during routine operation.
