Heat and product ventilation

DANGER

Computers, ac power adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when

batteries are charging. Notebook computers can generate a significant amount of heat due to their

compact size. Always follow these basic precautions:

• When your computer is turned on or the battery is charging, the base, the palm rest, and some

other parts may become hot. Avoid keeping your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body

in contact with a hot section of the computer for any extended length of time. When you use the

keyboard, avoid keeping your palms on the palm rest for a prolonged period of time. Your

computer generates some heat during normal operation. The amount of heat depends on the

amount of system activity and the battery charge level. Extended contact with your body, even

through clothing, could cause discomfort or even a skin burn. Periodically take breaks from using

the keyboard by lifting your hands from the palm rest; and be careful not to use the keyboard for

any extended length of time.

• Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or in explosive

environments.

• Ventilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and

reliable operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on

a bed, sofa, carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover, or disable these features.

• When the ac power adapter is connected to an electrical outlet and your computer, it generates

heat. Do not place the adapter in contact with any part of your body while using it. Never use the

ac power adapter to warm your body. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing,

may cause a skin burn.

For your safety, always follow these basic precautions with your computer:

• Keep the cover closed whenever the computer is plugged in.

• Regularly inspect the outside of the computer for dust accumulation.

• Remove dust from vents and any perforations in the bezel. More frequent cleanings might be

required for computers in dusty or high-traffic areas.

• Do not restrict or block any ventilation openings.

• Do not operate your computer inside furniture, as this might increase the risk of overheating.

• Airflow temperatures into the computer should not exceed 35°C (95°F).
