Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. If two
cards are installed, both can become hot even if only one is
used extensively. Overheating of a PC Card can result in errors
or instability in the PC Card operation.

Be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used for
lengthy periods of time.

Avoid spilling liquids into the computer’s keyboard.

If you do spill a liquid that gets into the keyboard, turn
off the computer immediately. Leave the computer turned
off overnight to let it dry out before you use it again.

Never turn off the computer if a drive light indicates a
drive is active.

Turning off the computer while it is reading from or
writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.

Keep the computer and disks away from objects that
generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo
speakers.

Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing a
magnet too close to a disk can erase important files.

Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you
receive via email or download from the Internet.
Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a
supplier may contain a computer virus. You will need a
special program to check for viruses. Ask your dealer to
help you.
