When your computer is turned on or the battery is charging, the base, the palm rest, and some other parts may become hot. Extended contact with your body could cause discomfort or a skin burn. Follow these tips:

• Avoid keeping your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a hot section of the computer for any extended time.

• Periodically take hands from the keyboard by lifting your hands from the palm rest.

• Do not place the AC power adapter in contact with any part of your body while it is in use.

• Never use it to warm your body.

• Do not wrap the cords around the AC power adapter while in use.

• Handle gently: Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects on your computer, display, or external devices.

• Prevent from getting wet: To avoid spills and the danger of electrical shock, keep liquids away from your computer.

• Protect cables: Route communication lines and cables so that they cannot be walked on, tripped over, or pinched. Applying strong force to cables may damage or break them.

Computers, AC power adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Always follow these basic precautions:

• When your computer is turned on or the battery is charging, the base, the palm rest, and some other parts may become hot. Avoid keeping your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a hot section of the computer for any extended length of time.

• Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or in explosive environments.

• Ventilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover, or disable these features.

• When the AC power 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 power adapter to warm your body.

For your safety, always follow these basic precautions with your computer:

• Keep the cover closed whenever the computer is plugged in.

• Regularly inspect the outside of the computer for dust accumulation.

• Remove dust from vents and any perforations in the bezel. More frequent cleanings might be required for computers in dusty or high-traffic areas.

• Do not restrict or block any ventilation openings.

• Do not operate your computer inside furniture, as this might increase the risk of overheating.

• Airflow temperatures into the computer should not exceed 35°C (95°F).

Electric current from power, telephone, and communication cables is hazardous. To avoid a shock hazard, follow these procedures:

To connect:

1. Turn everything OFF.

2. First, attach all cables to devices.

3. Attach signal cables to connectors.

4. Attach power cords to outlets.

5. Turn devices ON.

To disconnect:

1. Turn everything OFF.

2. First, remove power cords from outlets.

3. Remove signal cables from connectors.

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that you perform.

• General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent short breaks from your work also help to prevent minor discomfort associated with your working posture.

• Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance of 510 mm to 760 mm (20 inches to 30 inches). Avoid glare or reflections on the display from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see the screen clearly.

• Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position.

• Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair adjustments to best suit your comfort posture.

• Arm and hand position: If available, use chair arm rests or an area on your working surface to provide weight support for your arms. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal) position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.

• Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.

• Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones, electrical appliances, or speakers (more than 13 cm or 5 inches).

• Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5 °C/41 °F or above 35 °C/95 °F).

• Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or the palm rest.

• Do not turn your computer over when the ac power adapter is plugged in, otherwise, it could break the adapter plug.

• Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables.

• When picking up your open notebook computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your notebook computer by the display.

• Avoid directly exposing your computer and peripherals to the air from an appliance that can produce negative ions. Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge.

It is a good practice to clean your computer periodically to protect the surfaces and ensure trouble-free operation.

Cleaning the computer cover

Wipe it with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Avoid applying liquids directly to the cover.

Cleaning the keyboard

Wipe the keys one by one with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. If you wipe several keys at a time, the cloth might hook onto an adjacent key and possibly damage it. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the keyboard. To remove any crumbs or dust from beneath the keys, you can use a camera blower with a brush or use cool air from a hair dryer.

Cleaning the computer screen

Scratches, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the performance of your computer screen. Use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. If you see a scratch-like mark on your screen, it might be a stain. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the stain remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or eyeglass cleaner, but do not apply liquids directly to your computer screen. Ensure that the computer screen is dry before closing it.
