Getting Started
Avoid Magnetic Fields
Keep the computer away from magnets.
Data stored on the hard disk may be lost.
Keep Small Objects Away
Do not insert paper clips or other small objects
into the computer.
Do Not Disassemble the Computer
Do not attempt to disassemble your computer.
Avoid Excessive Force on the Display
Do not apply excessive downward force on the
display when it is completely opened, especially
when plugs and/or cables are connected to the
rear of the computer.
Avoid low-temperature burns
Avoid more than casual contact with any heat
producing area of the notebook computer, power
adaptor, and any option or accessory you use with
it. Even low heat, if warmer than body tempera-
ture, can cause a burn, if the skin is exposed to
the heat source for a long enough period of time.
Avoid Radio Frequency Interference
Do not place the computer near a television or
radio receiver.
Precautions
The CF-18 was developed based on thorough research into the
real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pur-
suit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to in-
novations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration
damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal
connections. The CF-18’s outstanding engineering has been
tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810F (for vibration and shock)
and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.
As with any portable computer device precautions should be
taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling
procedures are recommended.
Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture.
