sensitive components. It should be handled with care. Here are some suggestions you can
consider to help you get reliable service from your computer for many years:

subjected to rapid temperature changes and excessive dust.

Never expose the TravelMate 3000 to excessive vibration.
q
Never place anything on top of the computer when it is recharging or

about 130 degrees.
