Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the com-
puter where the recommended tempe-
rature is between 0 C (32 F) and 35 C
(95 F). Select models support -20 C (-4
F) low temperature.
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject
to high humidity, extreme tempe-
ratures, mechanical vibration, direct sun-
light, 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 expose your skin to the computer when
operating it in a very hot or cold environment.
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.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid
touching it with a sharp object such as a pen
or pencil.
LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern
is displayed on the screen for a prolonged
period of time. You can avoid the problem by
limiting the amount of static content on the
display. It is recom-
mended that you use a screen saver or turn
off the display when it is not in use.
