7-4 Caring for the Computer
Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
 For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended temperature
is between 0 C (32 F) and 55 C (131 F) – actual operating temperature
depending on product specifications.
 Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust.
 Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example,
do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the computer.
 Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances
that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor,
or a large audio speaker.
 Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10 C (18 F) may cause condensation inside the
unit, which may damage the storage media.
 Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface.
General Guidelines
 Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as this
may damage the display.
 The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to clean the
display but use the included soft cloth. Avoid touching it with your fingers,
pen, or pencil.
