Chapter 1 - Unpacking Your System
Where to Work
Your Meridian 400 is a tough, rugged machine. Generally
speaking it will be comfortable and run well wherever you are
comfortable. Extremes of heat, cold, and humidity can be
challenging to your system's parts, but usually if you can take it,
so can the computer. There are, however, some things you take
very easily that the computer does not like at all. Static
electricity is one. Dust, water, steam, and oil are others.
Wherever you decide to pull over for roadside computing,
choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.
Note: It’s best to place your Meridian near a wall socket for easier access.
Beware Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare
Pick a spot for your computer that’s not too - not too hot and
not too cold, not too dark and not too bright - glare can make it
hard to read the screen. Overheating can destroy computer
components. Allow plenty of room for air to circulate around
the system.
