Caring
for
your
computer
Though
your
computer
is
designed
to
function
reliably
in
normal
work
environments,
you
need
to
use
common
sense
in
handling
it.
By
following
these
important
tips,
you
will
get
the
most
use
and
enjoyment
out
of
your
computer.
Important
tips
Be
careful
about
where
and
how
you
work
v
Do
not
leave
the
base
of
your
computer,
or
any
other
part
that
becomes
hot
during
operation,
in
contact
with
your
lap
or
any
part
of
your
body
for
an
extended
period
when
the
computer
is
functioning
or
when
the
battery
is
charging.
Your
computer
dissipates
some
heat
during
normal
operation.
This
heat
is
a
function
of
the
level
of
system
activity
and
battery
charge
level.
Extended
contact
with
your
body,
even
through
clothing,
could
cause
discomfort
or,
eventually,
a
skin
burn.
v
When
the
ac
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
adapter
to
warm
your
body.
Extended
contact
with
your
body,
even
through
clothing,
may
cause
a
skin
burn.
v
Route
the
cables
of
an
ac
adapter,
a
mouse,
a
keyboard,
a
printer,
or
any
other
electronic
device,
or
communication
lines,
so
that
they
cannot
be
walked
on,
tripped
over,
pinched
by
your
computer
or
other
objects,
or
in
any
way
subjected
to
treatment
that
could
disturb
the
operation
of
your
computer.
Applying
strong
force
to
the
cables
may
damage
or
break
them.
v
Place
liquids
away
from
your
computer
to
avoid
spills,
and
keep
your
computer
away
from
water
(to
avoid
the
danger
of
electrical
shock).
v
Store
packing
materials
safely
out
of
the
reach
of
children
to
prevent
the
risk
of
suffocation
from
plastic
bags.
v
Keep
your
computer
away
from
magnets,
activated
cellular
phones,
electrical
appliances,
or
speakers
(within
13
cm
or
5
in).
v
Avoid
subjecting
your
computer
to
extreme
temperatures
(below
5°C/41°F
or
above
35°C/95°F).
v
Some
appliances,
such
as
certain
portable
desktop
fans
or
air
purifiers,
can
produce
negative
ions.
If
a
computer
is
close
to
such
an
appliance,
and
is
exposed
for
an
extended
time
to
air
containing
negative
ions,
it
may
become
electrostatically
charged.
Such
a
charge
may
be
discharged
through
your
hands
when
you
touch
the
keyboard
or
other
parts
of
the
computer,
