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.

„

Be careful about where and how you work

ƒ

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.

ƒ

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.

ƒ

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.
