Chapter 1

Getting Started

This chapter provides tips for working comfortably, summarizes
how to connect components, and explains what to do the first time
you use your notebook computer.

Selecting a place to work

Your computer is portable and designed to be used in a variety of
circumstances and locations.

Creating a computer-friendly environment

Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the
computer and any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to
provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.

To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your
work area from:

❖

Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.

❖

Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such
as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to
the computer) or speakerphones.

❖

Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of
temperature change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.
