Selecting a location
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following points when
looking for a location:
•
Do not place it on a soft surface (e.g., a carpet or soft furnishings). The space between the
notebook's feet must be clear. Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. In view
of the multitude of different finishes used on furniture, it is possible that the rubber feet of the
notebook will mark the surface they stand on.
•
Never place the notebook and the power adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
•
The notebook and the power adapter should be at least 200 mm apart.
•
Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its power adapter to ensure adequate
ventilation.
•
Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the power adapter.
•
Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect the notebook from
dust, humidity, and heat.
•
For wireless data transfer, you must align the notebook's infrared interface with that of the
partner device (e.g. PC). The devices must not be more than one metre apart.
