malfunction.
Your computer is designed and manufactured to minimize any effects of electrostatic
charge. An electrostatic charge above a certain limit, however, can increase the risk of
ESD. Therefore, when using the computer close to an appliance that can produce
negative ions, give special attention to the following:
- Avoid directly exposing your computer to the air from an appliance that can produce
negative ions.
- Keep your computer and peripherals as far as possible from such an appliance.
- Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge.
™ Note:
Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge.
