Heat Considerations
The computer's processor has been specially designed to consume
little power, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot
environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature.
Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature:
• The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air
coming from a vent at the left side when this happens.
• If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be
reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this
happens.
