Stress injury

Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains

information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists

that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3,

Getting Started

,

also includes information on work space design, posture and lighting that

can help reduce physical stress.

Heat injury

Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is

used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the

temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical

contact with the computer for a long time, for example if you rest the

computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your

skin might suffer a low-heat injury.

If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with

the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can

become hot.

The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this

condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the

AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.

Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the

material could become damaged.

Pressure or impact damage

Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of

strong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwise

cause it to malfunction.

PC Card overheating

Some PC Cards can become hot during prolonged use which may result in

errors or instability in the operation of the device in question. In addition,

you should also be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been

used for a long time.

Mobile phones

Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio

system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but

it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between

the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.
