Caring
for
your
ThinkPad
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
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
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

Avoid
subjecting
your

to
extreme

(below
5°C/41°F

gentle
with
your
computer

placing
any
objects
(including
paper)
between
the

and
the
keyboard
or

the
keyboard.

opened
and
used
at
an
angle
slightly
greater
than
90
degrees.

open
the
display
beyond
180
degrees,
as
this

damage
the
computer
hinge.
Carry
your
computer
properly
v
Before
moving
your
computer,
be
sure
to
remove
any
media,
turn

attached
devices,
and
disconnect
cords
and
cables.
v
Be
sure
your
computer
is
in
standby
or
hibernation
mode,
or

off,
before
moving
it.

prevent
damage

loss.

computer,
hold
it
by
the
